That's what I figure.. I know I'm that way.. why, 25F now feels like a heat

Yes indeed.. my other sisters (I have 3 others, and 1 brother) are sick over
the whole thing.. My Mom told me she's moving in there this Sunday.. so
hopefully all will go ok, at least for a while.

>> I've been making a lot of soups here lately too.. even for lunch..

and very warming :)

Oh yeah.. Pricilla especially likes the warm spots in the house :)
