Achoo

My nose is runny ... I am not sick but this weather lately is reeking havoc on my nose.  Hot, cold, warm, cold, colder and cold again.  I am going through a lot of facial tissue that I should consider going to Costco and stocking up on another case!  I mean the last time I bought this current case was over a year ago I think.  I might be ok though because I still have at least 4 unopened boxes.  But it is also something you can keep around forever since it's just paper product and it won't go bad or lose it's effectiveness date.  And I do have a chronic runny nose to begin with every morning.  Not sure why, I've asked the doctor about it and they didn't see or notice anything wrong.  Maybe if I get to see a doctor again I will mention it.  Also, it's starting to make my sneeze a little bit too and if I am out and about, I don't want people to start freaking out that I am some how contagious when it's just Winter weather effects.

Weekly Update:
Why are people so oblivious still in today's world??  I know I've mentioned (or complained) about this before but as things are not getting any better, social distancing is so important now more than ever!  I was at two different stores this past week and people not only were in the middle of the aisle looking at one side, they then had their shopping cart blocking so that you had to cut in front of them.  And this is an aisle that you could fit 3 cards along.  I get if you don't want to be against say the glass of the refrigerated aisle, but even if you were one or two feet away, that is enough room for you and enough room for me and enough room for a third person need be!  But no, they have to be 1/3rd, kind of like between the far right and middle lane and then their cart was turned 90 degrees blocking the rest of the middle and into the far left.

At the movies:
For a third week straight, "The Croods: A New Age" holds the #1 spot for an extra 3 million and now well over the 20 mil benchmark.  This still holds consistent with this time of year till the X-Mas films get released but this year will be interesting with the on-Demand market now a player.  Holding at #2 is "Half Brothers" with 490k as it passes 1 million cume.  Also holding at #3 is "Freaky" with 315k and crawling to 10 mil.  Still in the top 5 at #4 is "The War with Grandpa" with 266k and getting closer to 20 mil  Rounding off the top 5 is "All My Life" with 215k and might break the 1 mil threshold.
