Family Time Weekend Recap
Happy Monday all! I hope y'all aren't melting in the heat because it is MISERABLE! Today we are going to apparently break records from the heat and be at 100 with heat index way higher. Yay. This will be me for the next week: source We went to my second cousin's graduation party. I purposely wanted to arrive about 45 minutes later than the start time. You don't want to get wrangled into setting up, babysitting, etc and that happened to people arriving earlier from what I heard so smart call on my part. Also everyone is always chit chatting and we knew if there would be food it would be about the time they'd be eating...right again. We already ate so we were good to go and then shocked the sh*t out my family when we walked in. Final goal: ✔ The grad immediately popped up and came over to hug us and be a good hostess which was so cute. She's always been a very sweet kid but also a little badass. She was the only wrest...
I do think Neti pot can help but there seems to be a fine line between using that and over-using it. Wish I had better methods of dealing with ickies though, so hopefully more people chime in.
ReplyDeleteI wish my nasal passages didn't protest so much to that thing! I think using 1/3 of the salt packet is the key though
DeleteI don't do much other than drink a lot of water, bone broth, and take Zicam melts every three hours and that does seem to help lessen the time of the severe aches and pains. What does seem to linger no matter what is that dang tickle in the throat with the bit of phlegm that just will not come up for a good two weeks! Wearing masks has been great during the winter when that wind is whipping and my face stays much warmer. I'm a nerd and color coordinate mine. LOL
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing more irritating than that constant clearing of the throat and getting nothing "productive" out of it. We love wearing masks to keep our faces warm too! That reminds me I need to wash up our Snoopy Cmas masks!
DeleteChicken soup with matzo balls for kim chi ji gae (korean stew).
ReplyDeleteOoh, sounds good!
DeleteI'm battling a cold for the past week. Started off as a sore throat, which I assume was due to the mucous. Now it's just congestion and exhaustion, though I do feel like I'm starting a cough. I've been doing hot tea w/ honey, Mucinex and some NyQuil, but honestly, I don't feel like much works. For me, it's all about just riding it out and trying to stay as comfortable as possible. It sucks!
ReplyDeleteAww, I'm sorry you're not well! I hope you feel better soon! I have hard time drinking water anyway but especially when I'm sick. I will say it did help thin things out if you want to try to chug for a few days and see if it helps.
DeleteI love the throat coat licorice tea. I also take a Claritin d and mucinex d (green label). I must have eaten enough dirt as a child cause colds don't find me often
