The flu bug has stopped and is hovering over my family.
Ellie has it, I think that I may have had a light case of
it since I have a bad cold that just won't go away and
Ted came down with it this morning. Ted and I both have
had our flu shots. I am so glad that Ted vetoed a New
Year's day open house.

It is horribly cold. It was fifteen last night but hopefully it will warm up before I have to run errands today. We can
never get used to the cold but the little patches of warm
weather in between cold spells are a blessing. I always
fill up with gas and wash my car on those days.

You may have heard that we had four earthquakes yesterday.
One was mentioned on the National news. I felt the last
one but the others were so early that they passed me by.
I attribute this to the oil industry. They frak their
wells to get the last drop of oil and it is taking a toll
on all of us. I have earthquake insurance but it is getting
hard to get. Insurance companies increasingly want out of
Oklahoma because of our freaky weather.
