Usually when I feel a cold coming on I take ColdFx and it never comes to fruition. I did not do that this week.
Now I have a cold. Probably the first in several years. So I hiked off to the store, stocked up on soup, the aformentioned med, and red licorice. As a nurse I know red licorice heals all. Well, I figured it would help my scratchy throat. Its too bad everything is tasteless today. But I have persisted. After all the saying is feed a cold, starve a fever. I hope I did not get that backwards? Cause I have been feeding.
When I was in shopping I came across Clive just begging to come home with me. How could I resist? I had already decided to spend the day resting and while he never fails to raise my interest I find him also comforting.
Truth be told it is not Clive himself who draws my interest but Juan. Juan Cabillaro. So I have spent the afternoon and early evening with these two charming men.
Thank you Clive Cussler and your hero in The Silent Sea for making my day better.
PS Now you really did not believe for even a minute that it could be anything except a really good book?

glad you and Clive had a great day in bed!!
We did and I have now passed him on to others to enjoy! Thanks Joss!
Are you serious about red licorice healing all? I love licorice and would welcome another excuse to eat more.
For it to work you have to really really believe. Here it is two days later and I am fine..healed. Course it could have been the ColdFx or the soup or maybe it was just time. I can promise if you do not feel well and you already love it..it will make you feel better!
excellent enjoyed every minute
That’s great! Thank you for joining my little group of readers!
I hope you feel better. Use a cinnamon stick in the tea instead of powder form. Works great. Warm salt gargle. But I don’t think there is anything wrong with taking a couple/few men home from the book store with you. Theres nothing more comforting than a good book, hot cuppa tea. And lots of people wishing you well and better!!!! 🙂 God bless!
Thanks so much for your good wishes! I do feel better!

Yes! Yes! Aruba ashby great idea. loved your “right to bare arms”!
Thanks..I just hope I didn’t burn any bridges….LOL..
thanks for stopping by.
As Don Henley sings..sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge!
Hope you feel better… it’s the season and I haven’t been able to shake a lingering cold.

Thanks Eliz..usually ColdFx does it for me..and have started it. It would be nice if all we had to do was shake! Hope it goes away for both of us!

Didn’t know about red liquorice – I’ll go and find some. My cure-all is hot ginger tea with honey. Feeling very sick today, not sure I could even handle Clive LOL!
Oh! I hope you feel better soon! I will try the hot ginger as I have some. It will probably work better than the licorice.

Haven’t picked up a man in a drug store recently. Please wait while I get the car keys and go off to see who is there.
And the worst of it Judith is then he kept me up well into the night because I could not put him down!
I always pick up random men in the store, too! Hahaha. My sister says cinnamon is supposed to be good for you when you’re sick. I tried it in tea, but it doesn’t dissolve like sugar – tasted bad that way. Hope you feel better soon.
Hi Tracy….I should have tried the cinnamon as I have some in the house. As it was the book was so good I had to finish it = late night 🙂
