Bad: at the moment, due to illness, speaking makes my throat feel like knives are cutting into it. ouch.
Good: I intend to re-start work on my Nintendo quilt tomorrow.
Bad: due to inclement weather and the death of my car, I have still not delivered my charity quilt to Stratford. due to laziness and having given the computer with media ports to my mother for X-mas, I haven’t uploaded any photos of it, either. no biscuit.
Good: I like our new bedside bookshelves that Justin bought.
Bad: I’m running a little behind on my critical project at work, and due to illness, will likely have to work from home tomorrow.
Good: Working from home means I can stay in bed and work on not being sick, as well as working on critical project.
Bad: I blew $25 on stinking, useless Cold-FX, and either it is a total crock, or this cold would have actually killed me, and only ginseng has prevented my actual death, remanding my illness to “mere” complete incapacitation.
Good: the contents of my bedside table… half a dozen random quilt books; a book on Japanese Sashiko embroidery; Neil Gaiman’s ‘Anansi Boys’; the book I got from Starfishdude at
Cold-FX only relieves you of your cold…hard cash…
Send someone (lookng at you here, Justin) to buy you some hawthorne berries from an apothecary or organic food store. Boil water, pour over a handful of berries, with a teaspoon or two of sugar, and some tea to make the drink palatable. Allow to steep until berries swell and lose colour. Drink a pot or three of this concoction.
Do not eat berries (although this is not harmful). Hawthorne is a sedative and you will be inclined to sleep anyway, the berries will knock you out.
