So glad my husband is BACK AT WORK today. He's had a miserable flu and I'm sucking down vitamins to prevent myself from getting sick. The kiddo was sick the week before. All of us went to bed last night at 7 or 8--just too tired to go any more.

Other news: My emailed crashed. My computer is dying. I've LOST my car keys... like, lost-lost them, not misplaced them. ARRRRRRRRRRRGH!

I have a recipe for Cold "Cure" Tea that I made this morning-wish I would have been able to make it 2 days ago:

1 lemon
1 orange
2 large cinnamon sticks
2 Tablespoons of cloves
1 can frozen concentrated apple juice
2 pieces of ginger the size of a man's little finger
10 cups water

Cut lemon and orange into slices. Boil lemon, orange, cinnamon sticks, and cloves for 30 minutes. Peal and slice the ginger and add it to the mixture--boil for 20 more minutes. Remove from heat and add the apple juice to sweeten.

I'm planning to slurp a ton of this over the next 3 days and give it to my husband too. It seems to help.
