Pass the Puffs...

Thanks to my family I am now battling the respiratory virus. I escaped it for quite awhile but it hit with a venegance today. I don't really have time for the coughing, congestion, wheezing and sneezing as the holidays are fast approaching and there's much gift making to be finished. Forget that Life has also been tossing a few other challenges our way. Anyway, I'm well stocked with Halls throat lozenges. Puffs with Vicks is hard to find in this town and they're my favorite weapon of choice. The DH has been home for approximately 1 hour and claims he's heard enough of the wheezing, coughing and sneezing so he's sleeping on the couch. WOOT-WOOT! I get the bed all to myself! Now I'm off to fix some hot tea, lather the Vicks on my forehead, and throw a Halls in mouth so I can get some of this gift knitting on the move. What's your weapon of choice when you're sick?

You poor thing. I hope you start feeling better up there. I am going to get the hubby to go on an orange juice run for me. I woke up with a lousy sore throat. sigh! I made him put the heater on, too. My weapon of choice in a battle of the cold...a big can of pineapple juice, puffs with lotion, and nebulizer solution out the wazoo.

Hope you can find the Puffs you crave. For me - it's thera flu, hot tea, and cozy clothes. Feel better soon. g

Zicam. I don't believe in getting sick. Hem. (No that wasn't a challenge. I don't have time either!)

Oh - and Sleepytime tea comes in sinus soother and a throat tamer formulas!
