Good Morning!
It’s a cloudy Monday morning here at the moment. Boo-hoo. Warm tho, for once. Past days we were still seeing minus 4 to minus 8 in the morning, but today it was plus 6 when we left home for school. Regardless, I have the cold. Since Saturday. Meh.
My youngest had swimming classes last week and for sure since days were still chilly and windy, he caught cold with his wet hair coming out of the pool, heading back to school. This always happens, when it was my oldest, now with my youngest. As it is always during “Spring” time, yet since we are up north, Spring is still Winter, while real Spring is almost never. Straight to Summer 😅
Since I’m easily sick, so yeah, I caught my youngest’s sniffles. Double boo-hoo. In shorts, wish school would choose better time for swimming class, to accomodate my health 😅🤣😅🤣
