The word of the week is snow…haha. A snowstorm arrived on Monday and the kids had no school on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday a snowstorm blew in right before rush hour and quickly dropped a few inches, then Thursday temperatures become dangerously frigid & remain so. Friday was another snow day for the kids as we got another blast of the white stuff. I woke up with a sore throat and stuffy nose on Friday, and by that evening, I was a hot mess. Fever, chills, stuffy nose, headache and body rattling cough. No Covid, so probably some type of virus or flu. I have been sleeping when it lets me. Stay Caffeinated.

Hope you feel better soon. We just had super cold weather last week. This week is warmer, but it’s been snowing all day.
S. J. Pajonas
I’m so sorry to hear you’re sick again! Things in the midwest for snow and cold are brutal right now. Stay warm!
Mary Kirkland
We hardly ever get snow here.
vidya
hoping you feel better soon… and i am intrigued by Mislaid in Parts Half-Known simply because of the title so will look for it..
MarthaE
I Hope you feel better quickly. We’ve had lots of people with flu and colds, some Covid.
I’ll be interested in how you like the new Kim Harrison series. Happy Reading!
Christy (LoveofBooks)
Hello, dear. I deleted all of my social media accounts and now I miss you guys. 😆 Hope you feel better.
Anne - Books of My Heart
Oh I’m so sorry you aren’t feeling well. The new strains of COVID (according to a couple epidemiologist newsletters I read) don’t test positive until 3-5 days into symptoms. And COVID is surging now even though no one is talking about it. Take care of yourself.
Shelleyrae @ Book’d Out
While you are freezing there, the temperature hasn’t dipped below about 75F day or night here in weeks.
I hope you are feeling better soon.
Wishing you a wonderful reading week
Rachel @Waves of Fiction
It’s cold where we are too, but no snow. Sorry to hear you’re sick! I hope you feel better, Kimberly!
Victoria
OH no I’m sorry you are sick. If I was nearby I’d run you over a medicine ball from Starbucks. Feel Better! I hope the new Kim Harrison book is good!
Alicia
Hope you feel better soon!
Emma @ Words And Peace
Oh, I also wanted to share this, here is my miracle homemade cough syrup.
It really works.
Mix well each time you drink it – a tea spoon as needed:
cough syrup:
2 TB apple vinegar
2 TB honey
2 TB water
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp cloves
Emma @ Words And Peace
wow, I hope the bug leaves you quickly. I have some type (just nose) for 17 days. Nose almost fine, but still beat up. This thing drags on and on. A relative has had this thing for 6 weeks. Take care, drink a lot – though caffeine is not recommended!
Jen | Book Den
Stay safe and warm! We are bracing for a winter storm to arrive tomorrow.
Cindy's Book Corner
Oh no! So sorry to hear you are sick again!! I hope you are feeling better soon! Happy reading!
Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
I hope you feel better soon! Stay in, stay warm, and rest up.
LORI CASWELL
Snow and cold here too. I was sick last week with a cold that took me down totally for 48 hours. Nyquil and Dayquil saved me. I hope you feel better soon.
Carla
Oh dear, I hope you feel better soon, Kimberly. I’m sure the kids are loving the extra time off school, maybe not grandma though. Take care and try to stay warm.
FranJessca
I’m so sorry you’re sick, and I hope you feel better soon. I love looking at snow pictures online, but I’m not too fond of snow in person anymore. I loved it when I was a kid, though. It’s supposed to drop to the teens here in the Panhandle of Florida this coming week, and I’m tempted to see my oldest daughter during that time since her lowest temps will be in the 60s. She’s loving the weather where she is and I don’t blame her.
Aj @ Read All The Things!
It’s snowing here too! It’s been below 0 for days. With windchill, it’s been in the -20s. So cold!
Deanne
We had that big snowstorm last Saturday and that’s how I fell and hurt my ankle. Stay safe,
sherry fundin
I don’t miss the snow at all! Stay safe and warm.
Sophie
I am so sorry you are feeling sick Kimberly! Several friends in the US seem to have caught something nasty making them cough a lot! Not COVID though. Get better soon! Hugs!
Lover of Romance
YAY for some snow!! haha I am sick too, been this way since Christmas. Its mostly just stuffy sinuses—not horrible but just enough to be an annoyance. Hope you feel better soon!
Lisa Mandina (Lisa Loves Literature)
Yeah, we had Tuesday and Wednesday off school. Then went back on Thursday, and had Friday cancelled when I was already on my way to work! We’re supposed to have those freezing temps here till Tuesday! So with MLK day already off, I’m guessing maybe we’ll have Tuesday this week off too. Hope you are able to get to feeling better quickly! It’s bad enough having it be this cold, but not to be sick too!
Lillian @ Mom with a Reading Problem
Snow starts here tonight, but living as far south as I do, we don’t have the winter preparedness down 😅 So it will be snow days most of the week for us. Hope you feel better soon and rest!
Sophia Rose
We stayed just warm enough for rain the first part of the week and then it turned over to snow and frigid temps for the end. Bummer you caught a flu bug. Nice haul this week.
Feel better, Kimberly!
sjhigbee
Urg! I’m really glad that the flurries of snow we’ve had so far simply haven’t settled. Right now, it’s too warm to snow and I’m crossing my fingers and holding my thumbs that it stays that way. I hope you feel better soon, Kimberly!
Jessica @ a GREAT read
Wow! That is a lot of snow! I suppose our word of the week would just be cold. We had frigid temperatures but if it did snow it was just some flurries. Nothing ever really stuck to the ground. Last night we got into subzero temps and we’ve had lots of windy days where the wind kept me up at night. Hope you feel better soon!
Nice new reads! I’m thinking of requesting Kim Harrison’s new book! I love her stuff and am excited for a new series from her! Hope you enjoy all of your lovely new reads!
Here’s my StS
Have a GREAT day!

We got a little bit of snow this morning! I hope you feel better soon and have a great week!
Jodie
I’m sorry that you’re not feeling well! I hope that you feel more like yourself soon. Take care.

I’m so sorry you’re sick. I’m sending lots of healing thoughts your way and hoping for a quick recovery.
Deb Nance at Readerbuzz
Kimberly, I’m sorry you are sick and that it is cold. Sending lots of positive vibes and prayers for healing!
Lola
Sounds like you got a bunch of snow this week. Sorry to hear you caught a flu or virus, I hope you feel better soon!
Taylor @ Taylor Fenner’s Bookish World
I hope you feel better fast! We had about 6 inches of snow earlier in the week and then another 13.5 between Friday afternoon and Saturday. Now we’re getting the subzero temps. I just keep picturing myself somewhere on a beach where it’s 85 degrees and sunny.
Laurel-Rain Snow
What a horrible week, with snow and feeling so sick! Hopefully it will all improve soon. Hang in there.
Angela (Angel's Book Nook)
I hope you feel better. Everyone in our house got RSV and rang the new year in sick. No fun. Of course kid gets better before the rest of us. Stay warm and snuggle up with a good book.
Maree
I’m sorry you’re not feeling well – I hope you feel better this week. Stay warm!
Greg
Oh no- hope you feel better! Sounds like a snowy mess. We just started getting it yesterday and now snow is forecasted all week. Ugh. stay warm!
Haze @ The Book Haze
We’ve had a lot of snow here too and a sudden temperature drop, it’s -36 Celsius, about -33 Fahrenheit. I had plans this weekend, but no way am I going out in this weather. Sorry you got sick, I hope you feel better soon!
Meezan
There are a lot of different illnesses going around right now. I hope you feel better very soon and you have a better a week ahead. 🙂
Yvonne @ Socrates Book Reviews
Yikes! Between the weather and your health, it sounds like you have your hands full. I hope you are feeling better soon. Take care of yourself.
Jill
Ugh, sorry you’re sick. There’s so much illness going around.
Jen at Introverted Reader
My aunt felt unwell and kept testing negative for covid. She finally went to her doctor and it was the flu. He fussed at her a little for waiting so long to see him because it was too late for Tamiflu. She’s at increased risk because of other health issues but it sounds like she’s going to have to ride it out the best she can.
All the snow you had was rain here and I’m glad. I hope you feel better and your weather warms up soon!
Diana @ Book of Secrets
So sorry you’re sick! The bitter cold doesn’t help matters either. Stay cozy and feel better soon.
