if wishes were horsies...

Hey, thanks to concentrated application of NyQuil, cough drops, Gypsy Cold Care tea, and tomato soup with grated parmesan/asiago/romano cheese blend sprinkled on top... I am feeling a lot better today! and also as requested, I have my voice back (sort of) and am not nearly as congested. Yay!

I'm still going to take it easy today, and probably for the next few days, though.

yay! horsies!

That Gypsy Cold Care tea is amazing stuff. I need to go restock my supply just in case. Have you tried putting a grated garlic clove in your tomato soup? I grate a large clove or two and put it in the soup to cook for 30-45 minutes on a low heat. Just enough to let it cook down.

Regarding Gypsy Cold Care - I used to drink it all the time, but I haven't needed it in a while, and have mostly been drinking celestial seasonings' "echinacea wellness tea" for the last year or two. it has a very mentholly flavor. I was surprised, on drinking GCC again last night, to taste much more cinnamon/spice in it than menthol. I suppose it was the contrast. Nice though.

I haven't tried that type of tomato soup - we don't really have garlic cloves around the house yet, for one thing - but I will. thanks for the rec! :) the tomato soup we have right now is Campbell's Soup At Hand, the stuff you're supposed to microwave for a minute and then drink. Well. I cook it and then put it in a bowl. I suppose one thing to try would be like a half-teaspoon of minced garlic in olive oil put in with the soup before heating.

Echinacea makes me ill. I don't care for the flavor and when it is in cough drops, it burns my mouth. The PMS tea by the same company with the Gypsy Cold Care is wonderful also.
