Now that it’s December, we’re seeing the Winter weather moving in. In some parts of the U.S., heavy snow, and in places like Middle Tennessee, it’s getting colder.

Educated Guessing (MM #2872)
Doctors often frustrate me. I especially hate to visit the doctor for a cold, the flu or a sinus infection. Because often, their treatment for you is just educated guessing…
Double Whammy (MM #2793)
I don’t know if you’re feeling this way, but I feel like I’ve been hot with a double whammy. The recent time change and our first burst of cold weather is really getting to me…
The Change (MM #2789)
I’m going through the change; the change of seasons that is. But it seems like we’ve gone directly from summer straight to winter. And my body is feeling every bit of the change…
