by the way any good anti viral concoctions out there? My favorite one is Blackberry and Sage tea.
feel better soon, FF!

Feeling Better Thyme Tea
2 T peppermint (nausea & upset tummy)
2 T rosemary (high in antioxidants)
2 T thyme (soothes cough & sore throat)
2 T cut & sifted rosehips (high in Vitamin C)
2 T lemon peel (boosts the immune system)

Mix well and store in air-tight jar. Use 1 tsp per cup of boiling water. Steep for 5 minutes. Add honey to taste. Sip throughout the day when you feel the onset of cold or flu.
---

Anti-Viral Eucalyptus spray
30 drops eucalyptus essential oil
4 ounces distilled water

Put both in a fine mist spray bottle and shake well before using. Eucalyptus oil kills airborne viruses and clears the sinus passages. Use the mist often when feeling congested or when exposed to colds and viruses. Keep a bottle handy to spray on pillow, hands, phone in the office or car.

I have seen that one...very interesting huh?

I hope you are starting to feel a bit better, and very glad to hear that it is not H1N1.

Care to share a little info about your blackberry sage tea?

FF, I can really feel for you. I'm one of those people who can't sleep when they are sick either. I soooo envy those who can sleep all day and still get a good night's rest.

I hope you feel better soon! And, your DH, too!

I haven't been to the eye doctor in years.....the last time we went (hubby and I) we ended up having the exact same prescription! Our eyes are a little off and one is worse that the other and even that was the same. Weird, doctor said she'd never seen a husband and wife with the exact same prescription. I keep putting it off cause I know I will need new glasses but I know it is just going to be a whopper of a bill and I can't make myself go. :p Hope you and hubby feel better!

I haven't had new glasses since 1996. I started to get farsighted on top of being nearsighted, so I thought it would just even out. I only wear glasses to drive, and take them off at the store because I can't read the packages. It's all a self-fake out. I just can't spend the money. Although when I got my current spectacles, they were two pair for $39. Not sure I would see that price anywhere, even WITH good glasses.
