the little things

like bacteria and viruses,
yes these things can get us down
and today i got one dozy of a head cold.
My treatment is fairly traditional:
vitamin C, twice daily,
tea, not coffee and
then some herbal concoctions,
honey and lemon, especially since my throat is affected -
i have no voice.
Mint in my tea and now before going to bed,
Anise tea (or fennel) from the seeds in my yard.
Oh there was cough medicine, but so far it is not in my lungs,
if that happens,
i call a doctor.

Sounds like you're on the right track, Joey. It is that time of germ sharing year. Take care and hope you feel better soon!! =)
