I asked my husband last night for a wake-up call. (He's out of town). It was nice to hear his voice first thing in the morning. I got out of bed 2 hours early :)
I wish you all a happy monday morning whereever you are.

Thanks! I'll be couch-potatoing the day away. I'm hoping it will encourage my head cold to leave before next weekend.
You have a good Monday, too. You have a lovely start to it!

You too Llurpsie!
I got my darn tree lighted today and tonight we put on our family ornaments. Tree looks great so far, but there is so much boxes everywhere it is overwheming.
Got to study for finals this week, and it is over by Fri, then off to visit relatives for several days ,then see my T the next day, then I have a big polish feast for the other family when I come home, then I have to wrap presents for the kids , and then the best part after all the gift have been unwrapped, the kids crying that can't put all those damn legos together, then A NAP! I am looking forward to my NAP! We are thinking of getting a ping pong table for a family gift from Santa. SO instead of reading ahead for my next classes in school, I can play mind numbing ping pong until I am all ponged out! Then I put all the xmas crap away ! ETc, etc, etc! Then school starts, UGH!
Okay I need to get off these steroids, it is giving me mania for real. I can't stop I can't stop I can't stop. Please help.
Well anyways, glad your DH is coming home soon, I think it will help you feel better. Kinda like a honeymoon. Good luck!
HAPPY MONDAY TO YOU TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

CS,
Have you tried Zicam? Lots of evidence that it prevents, shortens, and alleviates colds. My sister, a nurse practitioner, recommends it.
I usually get about one sore throat a year and bought some grapefruit seed extract spray for the occasion. Grapefruit seed extract is a powerful germicide used by doctors and hospitals.
I have used Proseed brand drops (very strong) and capsules. The drops must be diluted and can be used for everything from cleaning, disinfecting, to mouth rinsing. (spray might be easier for mild jobs like mouthwash, sore throats and diaper rash) The caps are generally used for yeast infections and germs resistant to drugs. I find that they clear my head. No real side effects and I've taken massive doses.
I've often thought grapefruit seed extract has anti-depressant qualities. It gives my head a kind of cool lucid feeling. A holistic doctor *prescribed* it for me years ago when it was suspected that I had systemic candida. The first time I took it I got high on lucidity.

I've been taking Well-Max tablets, which helped stave off this annual cold and had made it less severe so far. The tablets smell disgusting, so they must be good!!!
(I kind of like being a coach potato when I feel so crummy.)CS

I've been taking regular doses of
dragonwell green tea (from china)
and chunks of dark chocolate, prn.naps. and regular doses of television to stimulate lower-level perceptual processes in my brain.
I've also got Tchaikovsky symphony No 6. 'Pathetique' on my headphones at work today. I'm writing down 1's and 0's. It's mind numbing, and this is on top of a pretty numb mind, mind you
ciao lovelies.
