Usually when DH and I get sick, our symptoms are staggered by a day or two. But this time, we got whacked with the sick stick at approximately the same time, so we actually shared a sick day (or at least half of one before he had to go to work anyway) yesterday. This one started with a horrible sore throat, which led to the runny nose, which turned into the sneezing, which segued into the chest cough. So this is my second day home. Luckily, we have both ginger ale and orange juice, because that's been my cold combo of choice since I was a kid and my dad gave it to me. Simply pour equal amounts of cold ginger ale and low- or no-pulp orange juice into a glass, and drink all day long. I always liked to make chicken soup when I get sick, but frankly by the time I'm done cooking it for two days, I'm tired of looking at it and just force it on DH, the kids, the nanny, and anybody who dares enter my apartment. But the scent of it cooking is restorative. What stuff do you like to have when you're sick? |

I was wondering where I got this cold I am fighting off. LOL
I like cranberry raspberry juice and real fruit popsicles fortified with Vitamin C.
I also have a teaspoon of honey every day I am sick, that helps too.
Visit the
Honeysuckle Shop.
Buy early, come often.
