You know the drill. You get up from your cozy bed to make some dinner, grab your bear, and you hop over to the kitchen sink to wash off your hands. That’s if you are lucky enough to have a bear that would actually come over for some assistance. Then you get into your car to go for a walk, and you realize that you forgot you had that bear.
You realize that you forgot you had your bear. This is a problem that all parents have had at one time or another. You walk to the door of your house and look up to see if there is a bear up there. The first thing you see is the phone ringing, but it’s a bear that you would never have picked up. You reach for the phone and it is someone calling from your house. You are now a bear of a woman.
Sometimes, it’s as simple as forgetting to take your phone with you when you go out for a walk. This happens to me a lot. I always carry my phone, and I always get a call. The phone gets lost or misplaced, and I end up losing a lot of money and losing a lot of sleep.
The bear thing happens to me a lot too. I never thought about a bear being a potential threat, but the minute I heard the phone ring and realized that someone was calling me I was like, “Wait. Is this a joke?” But after a few minutes of trying to reach me, as if the bear wouldn’t talk to me, my phone’s still ringing.
But bear crawling is not the only thing that happens to me. I also get called a bear in a couple of other situations. It’s just not as fun.
A few months ago I had a nasty cold, so I was pretty grouchy and all. But after I woke up, I felt fine. This made me think that maybe the cold was just an excuse for me to be grouchy. The next day though, I woke up with a sore throat and just felt like I was going to die. I figured a cold was just a bad dream, and that once I woke up it would go away. I thought I had the flu.
I can’t say that I’ve never had a bad cold either, but I always felt better when I woke up. It was like when you wake up from a bad dream and feel better.
It’s important to note that just because you wake up sore right after you wake up doesn’t mean that you’ve had a bad cold. In fact, the opposite is true. Bad colds can easily be mistaken for flu-like symptoms. The first sign of a bad cold is usually a fever. If you have a fever, you may have a bad cold.
Bad colds are more common in winter and spring. I know when I was in middle school, I remember getting my parents to make us all go to the doctor for a bad cold. That was back in the day when you had to go to the doctor to even get a prescription for the flu shot. I’ve been in middle school now for 9 years, and the only cold I have is the flu every year. The other colds Ive had have been fun, though.
In the beginning, it may be hard to tell a person with a bad cold from a person with a good cold. I think people with a bad cold are more likely to be sick. So when the flu hits, it’s usually more severe.
