That old *ick* feeling...
Since Georgia isn't generally inclined toward snow or other outward signs of the changing seasons, I have developed & learned my own subtle signs... One of these is the sore throat which comes on overnight. It (eventually) clears up, with sufficient application of hot tea, over the course of a day, and then reappears the next morning. It usually accompanies the start of the chilly rains.
Thankfully, we already have the tree up and decorated this year, because I think if we'd put it off till now, it wouldn't be happening. It was (or would be?) up to me, what with the DH's surgery and all that fun stuff, and I can pretty much guarantee that today marks the day where absolutely *everything* becomes a chore, up to and including making those massive amounts of hot tea that I'm gonna need to get me through the day!
And to whichever brave soul first thought to put leaves in boiling water and see what would happen: I salute you. More than that, I thank you! Otherwise, I might have to learn to like (or at least tolerate) coffee!
