Grumble

Took me all day to realize it, but I suspect I have some kind of a cold. With a bit of what could easily become laryngitis -- I am not happy about this, with a concert coming up in less than two weeks. The Bear is going to bed early tonight, after consuming another cup of ginger tea. (Something the flower_cat came up with -- it's just a couple of thin slices of fresh ginger in a cup of hot water. Fantastic for your throat.)

Get well soon--I make my ginger tea slightly differently. I boil the mashed slices in a pot of water until the liquid is good and dark, bottle up, and sweeten as desired when reheated.

Yep, I've heard of several people coming down with colds recently. But a lot of friends are having bad allergies this year. Everything that creates allergies is going nuts!

Poor Bear, we hope you feel better quickly.

Don't forget steam. Take a hot bath or stand in the shower. It will help clear out the system. Oh, drag the curtain around the Colleen tub, fill and breathe deeply. It nothing else, you don't feel as crappy.

And Honey will help to sooth the throat. Some Lemon would be good too. Put as much as you can handle in that ginger tea.

Some of us skip the ginger and just go for the honey and lemon. But the ginger can't hurt, if'n you like it...

Achoo!!

Or some of us skip the ginger, honey and lemon and put a little spirits in the tea... The pollen season is going to be a "Bear" (no pun intended). Try going to work on a Monday with the remains of a cold, bad allergy attack and some doodoohead that has put too much patouchli oil on... GRR!!!!
