Sunday night while listening to the Steelers-Bengals game, I touched my mouth and noticed that a cold sore might be hitting. I have been lucky not to have a cold sore over the last 2 years. The cold sore which is at the bottom of my mouth started immediately by putting Orajel on. One way you can make sure a cold sore does not stay around for days is to take Lysine tablets which my father uses a lot.

Twenty-three of 25 Christmas Cards were sent on Monday. The two cards that were not sent were that of one who moved since last Christmas and there has been no answer since Thurday. The other one is Kim and Rosemary. It is because I make a holiday pilgrimage to former co-workers and I wanted to get this person a gift card from where Kim works. If there is no contact on any plans by Wednesday night, I plan to call Kim and go ahead find out if she is able to purchase the gift card and write a check out to her. I do not want to wait much longer on this. The former co-worker was sent her Christmas card Monday. I got it last year at the same place, but at a different location, I am not doing it this year because since my March ankle injury, i'm not walking to areas that I'm not familiar walking to or around high traffic areas where another location of the store Kim works for is located.

As I talk about the March ankle injury, it will get a test likely Wednesday as good clips of snow will come down for real with advisories south of Moundsville (WV) as of the time I typed this blog.

The New England Patriots survived again to get another win Monday night against Baltimore. By the way, the Steelers according to Vegas find themselves as 17 point underdogs.

Those of you who are viewing 360.yahoo or Bravenet, My mother won another big holiday basket. This is a Christmas Basket she won at Wheeling Park's Bingo Sunday. As most of you saw in October last year that she won a Halloween basket and in 1994 won an Easter Basket. It might interest you to note that I had to said to my mom that I told her that she won every holiday baskets that involve candy somewhat. I hate to admit it, I was wrong. She hasn't won a Valentine Basket. The Christmas Basket will go to Marlene's 2008-09 Kindergarten Class.
