As soon as one gets a bit better, they go right back to being sick again, and worse. So frustrating.
However, I am spending my non-sleeping moments to catch up on writing (nothing to thought provoking), reading and e-mail. I am also becoming quite the "list maker."
Our first lists consists of all the trials and successes we had with home remedies, the second list is a list of items to buy for the winter (going to try Cold Calm, and Elderberry concentrate), the third is a list for Christmas, and the fourth is a list of ideas for a blog giveaway.
I do feel like the quinea pig of all home remedies right now, but I really want to know what will work, so we are continuing. I really like the sage tea I made, and will be growing more of that next summer. I found that breathing in steam a few times a day (over a pot of hot water with either Vicks or honey in it), helps drain fluid from my ear (however it's still plugged as of today). I also found that rest is the absolute most important of all. If my 9 year-old or I get up and do physical movement, we later feel more sick than when we woke up.
To keep myself from doing to much "work" around here, I started making more yo-yo's from Christmas fabric I have on hand.
I also added two new posts to my S.C.R.A.P. blog. Be sure to check that for fun ideas too.
