Another reason federal gov't employees have it so good = President's Day. Don't President's have it so much better than the average bear? Aren't they constantly celebrated? Do they need a whole "official" day? If I would have had today off from a cushy gov't job, I would have spent it with a nasty case of the throat yucks and a cough. (cough *cough.)
It's from the damn suburban mall play-lands!Every time I take my son to one, he gets sick. Then I have to get sick. He loves to climb the plastic, resin structures they've built in our local mall, but the thing is a total petri dish. After playtime, I had us both use hand sanitizer, but alas, here we are. (Sniff * sniff,) Complements of ten other snot-nosed kids, no doubt.
What is a girl to do when she is under-the-weather? Browse Etsy, of course. I wanted to find an Abe Lincoln locket. No lockets appeared, but this top hat pendant did. I just love it. The shop that stocks it is so fun.
I also love to read at night after I have put the sick boy to bed. I am excited to start this new book. It was listed on Powells' site. If you haven't before, Powells Books is just one more reason to visit Portland, Oregon!
Well, if you catch a winter bug and need to boost your immunity, fast......try my all natural home remedy:
Audrey's Double C, Cold Kicking Tea
-
Fill a glass half way with warm/hot water
-
Add the juice from one large lemon (squeeze)
-
Add several large splashes of lime juice (fresh or packaged)
-
Add an organic green tea bag to the mixture and stir.
-
Let sit 5 minutes.
-
Then add ice cubes to fill the top to make it ice cold. And drink! Mega Vitamin C and Green Tea cold fighter to the rescue in one refreshing, cold drink
...If that doesn't work, head for the Ny-quill or the Z-pack, (like I'll probably end up doing!)
