On the mend

Definitely less ouchie today. I used pretty much all the tricks in the book yesterday (leaving out blood-letting, as it was too late in the illness for that to be effective), and feel almost alive today! I ate nearly 1/4 lb of fresh ginger, and about 3/4 a head of raw garlic (in my tea-less "tea"), soaked myself in ginger, epsom salts and baking soda, and basically did absolutely bugger-all. Oh, except going to get cracked. I think that helped, too.

By the end of the day, I was trying to compose a riff off of "T'was the night before Christmas" about suffering from and treating colds. I didn't get very far, though I thought it would start:

T'was the third day of headache
from sinuses stuffed
Not an atom was moving,
not even when snuffed
...
(skips many verses of woe to the bit of inspiration:)

More Ginger! More Garlic! More Vitamin C!
More liquids ingested, and down some more 'tea'!

...
Aaaaand, that's that.

Today I actually feel up to doing something, which is good, as I have to go to class. *glances at clock* Soon, too. And after that, I hope I will still feel well enough to get out and weed the yard a bit more. The grass really does need to be mowed this weekend, but I'd really like to get the weeds out before that happens.

Actually, a lot needs to happen this weekend, including the planting of the back yard (all the dirt (+some) has been moved!), but we'll see how it goes. I'm going to try for moderation. I'm terrible at that, but I'm going to try for it. ;-)

Anyway, gotta go.

Cheers and good weekends, all!
