連日外出 Out and About in Cold

先週３日間続けて氷点下近い寒い中夜に外出したら、さすがに週末になったら気が抜けたのか見事に風邪を引いた…　熱はなかったんだけど、日曜日は 一日中悪寒と鼻水に悩まされてずーっと寝込む羽目に。妊娠中だから薬も飲めずゆず生姜茶とみかんで乗り切り、月曜には多少楽になったけど、乾燥が酷く喉の イガイガがなかなか治らないよ〜　今週はさらに寒いので、懲りて家で大人しくしてるのに　苦笑

Because I was out and about for three nights in row, I caught cold on Sunday... (go figure...) Luckily I did not have fever. I tired to sleep it off since I cannot take any typical medication at the moment and that has helped a lot. Since this week has been a lot colder (snowing!), I'm just going to stay in for the most part.... ugh

チケットがいると知らずに、DC内で仕事していたビージェイと合流して見に行ったホワイトハウスのツリーの点灯式。残念ながら遠くからしかみえなかったけど、警備がものすごく厳重でマシンガンみたいの持ったおまわりさんがうじゃうじゃ。怖かった…

We didn't realize that tickets were needed see the lighting of the National tree at White House... We only got to see it from faraway, but we go to see police with assault rifles right front of us. It was very intimidating,. at least to say.


下の写真は金曜日に花火があるというので、寒い中カメラ片手にNational Harborにお出かけ。短かったけど、奇麗だったしなんといってもクリスマスツリーが豪華！

We also went to see fireworks at the National Harbor on Friday night. Despite the cold weather, there were many people to see the fireworks and tree. It was pretty!

:: ボートの側のツリーと三日月ちょうど良い感じ。Crescent moon and the tree next to a boat. ::
