Planning for Summer

Been enjoying the relatively cool weather even if it means a lot of people, including my children are getting some sniffles. Much as I love this cool weather though I fear what the summer will bring. I can perhaps do something about the heat and bear it till the temps go down at night.

I have several plans for summer and none of that include travel yet. What are these things?

  • We plan to get rechargeable fans and lights for the brownout schedules.
  • We also plan to get more water containers like steel drums and big plastic ones for the foreseen water shortage. As I’ve written, we are not used to having water 24/7 and I think we can live with that since we have been doing that for more than a decade already because we are used to storing water for rationing.
  • We plan to purchase more comfortable clothes for summer to temporarily not feel humid weather.
  • More fruits to quench the thirst is a best way to go.

Do you have summer plans already?

CSI Crime City in Facebook

I told myself that I would steer clear of online time wasters this year. Before 2010 was over however, I found myself playing another online game, CSI Crime City in Facebook. Gah!

I spent a lot of time and money (virtual though) to make “My Lab” look good, with the latest equipment and the best furniture my earning could buy. I even changed my floor to something that is made of metal because I wouldn’t want anyone to slip and break evidence. If only there’s an option to apply non skid solution, I would go for it.

Healthy 2011

Hubby has joined the throngs of people who have been sick because the temperature has gone a bit below 20 degrees. I know it seems like an exaggeration because much as I’m loving the super cool weather, a lot are getting sick and even my little boy is having a bit of asthma attacks in the early mornings.

People are buying up medicines on cough, fever, colds and viral-infection related conditions. Shouldn’t we be spending on things that will make us healthy and not on things that made us sick?

How can increase immunity to air-borne illnesses/weather-related ones?

  • Increase intake of healthy food
  • Increase intake of liquids like water and fresh juices
  • Bundle up if needed before going out or during sleep
  • Avoid cold beverage or food
  • Avoid sleeping late which decreases immunity to these diseases
  • Avoid going to crowded places where you are most likely interact with people who have these illnesses

Let’s all make 2011 a healthy year for all of us!
