Stuffy nose, tickly throat…yeah, I’m sick.

AND I’m on deadline.

Yknow, I’ve always envied my husband, who can go to work no matter how absolutely horrific he’s feeling. Then again, he’s the breadwinner…if he doesn’t go to work, it’s not like I can pull an overtime shift and cover the money we’d be out
But I realised this morning, when I woke up from 10 hours of sleep, my head ringing, my mouth cottony…
I write, even when I’m sick. Maybe it’s a sign I really love this job of mine?

So…for today, I’m going to post my uncle’s ’secret weapon against colds’:

Recipe #1: Uncle Bud’s “I’m sick morning beverage”

Tropicana Orange Juice. One carton.
Southern Comfort. One bottle.

Mix to taste, drink, repeat.

Recipe #2: Uncle Bud’s Hot Toddies

Water, heated to boiling.
Three teabags.
Add those ingredients to a teapot, and let simmer.
In a large mug, fill a mug 1/3 full of So’Co’. Drink, then repeat. Add tea. Drink. Fall into nearest bed.

So if no one sees me this weekend, you know why

Any other home remedies to share? If I’m willing to try Uncle Bud’s Hot Toddies, I’m wililng to try anything.
