There used to be a belief, a long time ago, that catching a chill gave you a cold. Most of my adult life, I thought a variation of that belief was definitely true, and my variation was that rapid weather change somehow gave us colds. I'm not sure how. The cold made our nose run, which made us wipe our noses on our hands, which we then touched other people with, etc. Regardless of its truth, that's what I believed.

But now I know that our rapidly-changing, undecided, awesome Ohio weather is not to blame for my two tiny patches of really, REALLY dry skin on my upper lip -- although I wish the weather was to blame, because having to put on medicated lip gloss every two minutes bugs me out. But according to recent information, it's not the weather. It's just people putting their germy hands all over stuff.

Oh, and in addition to not being able to blame a cool spring any more for my colds (or dry upper lip), apparently now I get colds because I don't exercise. This is clearly going to be a rough spring.
