I got sick from Thursday night until Sunday with a cold of some kind.

I slept till 4 p.m. on Friday in hopes of getting better sooner, and it worked- I feel fine today.
First time sick since Sept. 2009.
My secret tea recipe for sore throat/cough:
herbal tea, your favourite (I use echinacea or lemon)
add in:
lemon juice- a few tablespoonfuls
cayenne pepper- just a sprinkle
it really works well
if you wanted honey in it I'm sure that would be OK too.
