Good news and bad news

Well, I finally found a disc to clean my CD player in the car.  The bad news is, it cost $21.37 and it didn't work. (Just desperately trying to find an alternative to the expensive options which have been told to me)

Someone near me is coughing.  But I can't hate them because I have a bit of a cough myself. So much for my cocky attitude towards illness (as in I never go there).  Laid around in bed for most of the day, even though my health book said you should keep moving..  Nothing really on my calendar today and the cold and clammy weather is getting me down.  Did various errands on the way to Vineland to pick up my library book.  Went to Wawa and had some chicken noodle soup for therapeutic reasons.  It was DELICIOUS.  I really should eat soup more often.  I have been coughing quite a bit and now it HURTS when I cough.

Finished a paperback book by Anne Rivers Siddon, Sweetwater Creek.  I didn't really enjoy it.  I thought I would as it takes place in the low country of South Carolina and I do enjoy Southern writers.  Emily is a young girl whose mother has left her and her twin brothers and father living in a big mansion of a house.  They raise hunting dogs.  Another young girl comes to board there and the girls become friends.  Lulu hates her own parents but has a cool grandmother who the girls visit.  I thought the book was overwrought and overwritten.  I did like this quote from Colette ( in reference to Emily's dead brother) - "When one we love dies there's no reason to stop writing them letters."
