Sick Time....by Jessica

048

I got sick again (still?) and am just feeling crummy. I'm pretty much a big baby when I'm sick and ask Zack in a feeble voice to do things like "please hand me my water" (though it may only be 4 inches from my hand) and "can you please tuck the blankets in around me?" and he will tuck my little self in tight with the blankets and then hand me the remote control so I don't have to move my arm out of the cocoon of blankets. It's really really quite pathetic.

My go-to get better remedy is toast with butter and strawberry jam and tea with lemon & honey.

What's your get better quick strategy?

Every time I get sick Neal gets me chow mein and hot and sour soup. Hope you feel better soon!

I love hot and sour soup when I'm sick too!!!! And Zack thinks it's so weird.

Mmmm, both Kit and I love the Thai coconut lime soup at Tomi Thai's here in Windsor when we are sick. Oh and by the sounds of it I think you need a Snuggie....

Sorry you're sick, that's awful.I like homemade chicken soup, Jason will usually make it if I'm super sick if he's off work but when I have to make it myself I'll call my mom & whine about them living on the other side of the country & can't make me soup... He also makes me ginger tea with honey, with real ginger. I also do a double shot of lemon juice, honey and fresh grated ginger -so yummy. Ooh, hot buttered rum before bed is the best when I'm sick forever. Boil water, add a tablespoon of sugar, grated nutmeg, rum to your liking and a pat of butter. Then I sleep as much as I can. Wished I lived closer so I can make you some of that stuff :-(

I take Wellness formula, they are these immune boosters my mom found forever ago for my sister cuz she got really sick and ended up being allergic to most antibiotics and ended up in the hospital. So these are like full of vitamins herbs and minerals and I swear they help! Especially if you've been sick a lot. When your sick you have to take a lot but even Eric uses them now cuz he knows they help! The tablets are big horse pills but you only have to take 3 at a time http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=SR-5041
If you are not good at taking big pills buy the capsules but then you have to take 6 at a time! Vitamin Shoppe is the cheapest place to get them but Ansteads and I think Bog Johns used to carry it too but way spendier!
