I Feel Like The People In NyQuil Commercials

Quick! Run to the grocery store and buy all of the boxes of Swiss Miss Candy Cane Hot Chocolate mix you can before it disappears since it is a seasonal item (I am guessing).  It is awesome.  Tastes so good and I am not really that big a fan of peppermint.  Seriously good stuff. (LOL! NOT a paid advertisement. You know me, when I find something I think is good I want to tell you about it so you can have some too.)

Bad  #1 & #2 from my less than cheerful Christmas day post (Dear Norman)?  Both my son and I feel even worse, and one of my daughters now has it, plus her stepmom. We are just hoping we all get well soon. We are praying the 8 week old baby boy in our life does not get it nor his 3 year old sister since they have been around all of us.  And praying it is not the swine flu.
  • Vaporizer going? check  
  • Vicks on my feet? check  
  • Lemon & honey by my bedside? check  
  • Orange juice & lots of ice water & cups of this wonderful Candy Cane Hot Chocolate? check (I'm working on my 2nd box and I am the only one here) 

I  have started reading The First Phone Call From Heaven by Mitch Albom, but can't stay awake long enough to get beyond page 6 then have to start over because I can't remember what is going on.  My brain is a little fuzzy.   Hope you are well.

  1. I'm glad to hear you are taking care of yourself. I hope it works and you feel better soon, and hopefully the young ones escape it.

  2. Thank you for your kind words. I am a tough old bird but this bug would be awfully hard on my little grandchildren.

  3. Oh I had it already and it is horrible. Mine lasted 8 days through the worst of it. The cough lingered for several nights after. There were times I was hoping it was the Swine Flu believing that might have been easier than this no-name virus. Bless your little heart Aunt Betsy.

    1. My little granddaughter is at the pediatrician's office right now. Hope the baby doesn't get it. I hope you like the Swiss Miss, I have really enjoyed it this week. I have not seen any advertising for it and would not have known about it had someone not told me about it. When I went to the store it was on the bottom shelve and I would never have seen it.

  5. Sorry to hear about the sickness going around your family. Take good care. Time, rest and hot chocolate should do the trick!
