The LC on the DL

…is the bumble bee I almost swallowed. Well, you can’t really see it here, and it isn’t in the can anymore. While I was at the Halloween parade today, I took a swig of Monster, and realized Monster is not supposed to have chunks. I promptly spit that sucker out and was suprised to discover it was a bumble bee on the pavement. I honestly had visions of houseflies at the moment I felt it in my mouth. Of course, I could no longer drink the Monster, as it was contaminated and grossed me out. =)

Ick. I have a cold. Nasty, old, drippy cold. I should have known it was coming with how exhausted and run down I have been lately. I have spent the week suffering though headaches, running nose, congestion, and a sore throat. Fun stuff that I am sure no one wants to hear about. =)

I am totally anti-medications though. Herbal is my way to go, just sometimes it takes a little longer. I have never liked how over the counter cold remedies make me feel. They typically make me feel tired and drugged up and I think that is worse than the cold itself. I prefer extra sleep, vitamin C, zinc, and for congestion, a few cups of mullein leaf tea.

I do sometimes wish I was still just a kid though, when having a cold meant staying home from school. My mom would make me a bed on the couch and bundle me up with an afghan. She would give me warm lemon tea and cinnamon toast. =)

How have you fared so far this season? What are your favorite cold remedies, pharmaceutical or otherwise? How have these changed since your childhood?Comment posted by Eol Ruin

I suggest NeoCitran - but no idea if its available in US.More nature - much tea with honey and a very warm blanket …

Comb over and boxers showing. Dude, no. (In case you are blind, the camera phone takes crappy zoomed in pictures. Uggh)
