Thursday night I started to get a sore throat, and Friday I probably could have stayed home from work (but it was Friday with a three day weekend. I can manage one day). Geek Night got cancelled for its own reasons, and I dozed for a bit once I got home. I feared being ill today, because it's my turn to sing for Saturday church (Brand new Saturday service! Small yet, but I think it's helping), so I dosed myself up on cold meds and drank a concoction of white tea, peppermint, lemon juice, and honey. Then I slept in past 9AM. It seems to have worked.
All through my life, whenever I've been sick, my mom has said to me, "Rest, and drink lots of fluids!" All medications, all therapies, every other thing you can do to get your health back can be enhanced by the simple method of resting and drinking lots of fluids. (Unless you're at the point of intravenous hydration, I suppose.) ::lifts a mug of tea to her mother:: Here's to common sense health!
Got my car washed today. The weather's supposed to turn nasty next week, but I figure the main thing is to get the salt off.
Got in a conversation with a couple Borders employees about their company filing for bankruptcy. None of our local stores will close, but apparently customers have been panicking and cashing in all their gift cards. People really don't understand bankruptcy, do they?
