I became exceptionally miffed when I woke up in the middle of the night with a stuffy nose. For a moment, I thought I was hallucinating. But reality hit me with a sixteen-ton weight. Actually, it is not a full relapse; it is a mild cold that tries to vex me. And it does because the cold feet I experienced today were the portents of how COVID started in December. The good news is, despite all the unpleasant symptoms, it is not showing signs of anything sinister; therefore, the annoying aspect of my (our) current condition is that COVID's long-term side effects are not entirely gone.
According to the latest forecast, we must expect -10 to 12 °C. This might sound ludicrous to all our Northern friends who experience -42°C up there. They might laugh their heads off hearing us complain about the "bitter" cold we must endure for five days. What an ordeal! I can see how the Finnish and Norwegian comedians mock us on stage, provided they can momentarily stand on any stage. (Now who's laughing?!)
The weather was freezing today. Taking Abby for her walks was a real challenge each time. Traipsing the freezing streets didn't have the usual pleasant feeling that could uplift one's spirit. This unpleasantness was written all over Abby's face when I wanted to drag her to another corner. She insisted on going home and behaved like a canine compass, showing the right direction to home instead of north. Today's highest temperature was around -1°C and the night will be colder.
I completed my beginner student's next class. Considering all her requests, I have put together the curriculum based on her recent feedback. Let's see how things pan out and how much she'll enjoy the class.
