my short & stout teapot (brand new in box, that i scored at the thrift store for a couple of bones), ginger and peach tea w/ lemon & honey, and my fave (it's seen better days) mug that i bought during a visit to the Cabazon Dinosaurs. clearly, they need to find a new source for mugs and i need to get a new one...
looking back, as a child, i was rarely ill. i wasn't the kid who got the award for perfect attendance, but it was really rare. my pediatrician used to joke that because i was hospitalized for extended periods and pumped full of medicines, i would be fine.... "chicken pox? probably clear up in a day." "dog bite? is the dog ok?"
and for most of my adulthood, my health luck held up... then, i had the paloma.....
i guess i should be mildly comforted that "it's normal" for "things" to go "wackadoodle" after the birth of a first child... "Eczema? Are you a new mom?" "Allergies that you never had before? Are you a new mom?" "Acne breakouts that you also never had before? Are you a new mom?" >_<
and now that i'm 40, i'll be sure to break out into song with each and every new health related surprise!!!
Can you just see me at my first mammogram:
no. let's not go there...
ennyhoo... i read somewhere on teh interwebs that:
* drinking a cup of warm water with half a lemon everyday really helps to boost immunity...
* drinking spearmint tea helps to alleviate acne...
* ingesting local honey will proactively desensitive an allergy sufferer from airborne allergens in the spring...
so, i actually started doing these things a few months ago.... this cold is maybe the second (full spectrum) cold, i've come down with since the kids started
ok now, is when you pat my blog on the back and tell me how proud you are of me.... >:)
yeaaaaaah..... thanks for helping to clear my lungs... stay healthy, dear friend... :)
