WOW: Summer Cold

WOW = WIPs On Wednesdays
Well, I'm trying! Right now, a disgusting summer virus has me down, big time. It started with what I thought was a little sniffle last week. But a few days later I was in bed, sniffling and coughing and feeling miserable. Last week I was about to launch a new BOM and was packing my suitcase for a getaway with my DD the following day. I had it all planned out perfectly. Ha! Talk about best laid plans..

Instead, the BOM has been delayed and our little getaway had to be cancelled. It was such a shame too, as she had taken time off work and I was really looking forward to our little creative break. Oh well, I really can't complain. I have been feeling better in the last day or so. I feel strong enough for a few hours each day and check my emails and see what my Group members have been creating (this is the highlight of my sick bed days) before I go back to bed.

I have all the supplements, Sambucol and chicken soup anyone could wish for, now I just have to wait for this tide to pass. You've probably already noticed that I'm a terrible patient. I have no tolerance for any kind of sickness and am as cranky as I sound.

What's Your Favourite Cold or Flu Remedy?

  1. Lots of hot liquids. I drink tea all day long every day but when I'm ill, it's a good excuse to always have a cup beside me. Soups go well too. As for coughing? Have you tried a spoonful of honey? My mom and my husband's recommendations.

  6. Colds are the worst! I hope you feel back to normal soon. And that you're able to reschedule that getaway.

  7. a Korean house mate of mine once fed me a fiery chilli stew to get rid of a cold that was starting - it must have terrified the cold as it left immediately.
    Unfortunately i dont have his recipe but i use grated ginger and honey in hot water as a tea
