HausFrau's Rx

Man brought home a charming rhino virus a few days ago and unfortunately, my immune system conked out on me precisely 24 hours later. Read between the lines: It's been 3 days of coughing, sneezing, stuffy head, aching, sore throat, exhausted, but no fever for me. None of which is really worth mentioning - it's just a stupid cold, so not worth blogging about.

Except for the fact that there hasn't been quite enough cold meds to go around.

But, I'll tell you what is worth mentioning. My new found DayQuil substitute:

hot peach or peppermint tea with a very generous splash of brandy

And, my NyQuil substitute:

hot peach or peppermint tea with two very generous splashes of brandy

Tea and booze. Two of my most favorite beverages.

Add a little sugar, pseudophed & Benadryl to that & you won't care if a rhino virus is sitting on your head.

So, next time you are feeling like crap a little under the weather, take two & call me in the morning.

Or afternoon, whenever it is that the drugs wear off & you drag yourself out of bed for a HausFrau DayQuil toddy you wake up feeling refreshed.
