Breakfast. Cranberry orange muffin to fit in with the season. My coffee is in my treasured Christmas NYC mug. We did not get there this year for this season, but plan to go in January to see an exhibit at the MET. I am home today because my cold is in my lungs (asthma) but with mighty necessary drugs (ugh!
