On 2-1-09 the Pittsburgh Steelers won their 6th Super Bowl World Championship in franchise history. The game, for those who did not watch, was a close one - final score was Steelers 27, Cardinals 23. My Terrible Towel got a great workout. I had it twirling so hard that my daughter and her friend were waiting for lift-off.

This past Tuesday (2-3) I was able to watch the entire victory parade telecast live from downtown Pittsburgh. There was an estimated 350,000 people in attendance). It was football weather that day - I was glad though to watching from the warmth of my living room.

I've been battling a stupid head-cold and since Monday. Sunday night after the game I was hoarse and had a sore throat (I thought just from all the yelling). Monday morning I woke totally congested. I felt like I had been outside in the cold following the game celebrating the win. I've got the sinus drainage and of course the cough that comes with. As I've got a history of bronchitis amd walking pneumonia, I am being careful - so far the congestion is not dropping into my lungs - honest.

Just when I feel I've conquered it the stupid thing comes back and hits me again. It's a pain but I've overcome worse; sure better situation than pushing up daisies I tell myself each morning and during the day as I drag myself around the house.

Warmer weather is predicted for this week (until next Friday right now) and living in Six-burgh is a good thing :happydance:
