For as long as I can remember (at least the last 5 years), I've gotten the common cold 2 times every winter. This has been eerily consistent, despite all the protective measures I've put in place (washing my hands regularly, using hand sanitizer, trying to avoid sick people) - on top of all my regular healthy habits (drinking plenty of fluid, taking vitamins, getting enough sleep).
So, it's rather surprising that suddenly this year I went the entire winter without coming down with a cold. I suppose it could just be luck, though I think this is the first year I've been taking a vitamin D supplement every day. I've also been getting less exercise than I had the past couple years (because I've been walking outside less). I know they say that there are thousands of strains of the common cold, but maybe they miscounted and I've actually gotten and become immune to all of them.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.
