Day 49: Cold – 1, Productivity – 0

Have you ever had those days when you feel busy the entire day, yet at the end you realize nothing has really been accomplished? Today was one of those days for me. I woke up with a blocked nose and constant sneezing. The cold has really taken hold and seems to be in the “getting worse” phase. I absolutely hate catching a cold.

Putting the cold aside, I didn’t get much done today—not even the bare minimum. I had planned to start studying this weekend, but even on good days I get distracted easily. Add to that the headache from the cold, and I just didn’t feel like doing it. I wanted at least one small achievement for the day, so I renewed my car insurance, and that was all I managed.

The rest of the day I spent talking with my family and watching Netflix. I really hope the worst of the cold is behind me and that tomorrow I’ll feel better.

Love for the Cold Breeze

Daily writing prompt
How do you feel about cold weather?

I love Cold weather!

I know that cold weather brings it with dryness and cold nose. But the perks of winter far out weigh the faults.

  1. No Style Needed
    I am not a person who is good with styling. During winter all you need is a sweater or a cardigan. No one is really going to be bothered if it “goes” with the outfit. All that matters is your warm enough.
  2. No Allergies
    I get heat rashes any time I spend too much time in the sun. It doesn’t help that I do not put sunscreen when required. But when the cold air hits my faces all my skin irritation just goes away. The winter dryness is something that I can handle. Moisturizing is much more easier that applying sunscreen.
  3. Hot Chocolate and Warm Blanket
    I love drinking hot chocolate in the cold weather. Its like a warm hug. I feel the world has tilted towards happy. Also, sleeping under a warm blanket is something that everyone loves. You feel like your whole body is wrapped in a cocoon. You feel safe and secure and all the evils of the world has disappeared.
  4. Snow
    I love snow! I know that probably after it melts I may not have the same answer. But who cares! Snow is awesome! I think playing in snow brings out the innocence of childhood in people.
