Water this time

No, not to drink, to be used in a steaming sessions to clear the sinuses.
I am done with the sand. Although yesterday was particularly bad with the coughing, the throat is starting to behave itself a bit better and certainly doesn't hurt as much anymore. Of course now it's the muscles in my stomach and my sides that are hurting, but that's just the way life is. 

Unfortunately the sore throat and the coughing were a lead-up to something else. Which led me to leak. From my eyes, from my nose and even on occasion my mouth for some weird reason. Oh yes, I have a full blown cold! Apparently it's doing the rounds and thought that I might be a good host. I wish I wasn't! 

The cold played havoc on my sleep (the right Sandman came, but he was no match for my guest) and I woke up not entirely refreshed. Add to that a Miss Oswin who wants her breakfast and then go out... 

Right now there are tissue boxes dotted across my apartment, bins that are not so slowly filling up and me feeling a bit sorry for myself. I think I might have to partake in a few strawberries with vanilla sauce. Or a few more than a few.

    1. I prefer not to sleep during the day unless really bad. Otherwise I won't sleep at night...

  3. We like to drink an herbal tea called Throat Coat. Don't know if you can get it in Norway. Hope you start getting better soon.

    1. Of course you can't get it in Norway. We can't even get normal strepsils over here. They had to take the most important healing part out and call it repsils!

    1. The strawberries looked great! Unfortunately most of them are white on the inside and very very watery. Not the best I ever got.

  8. Sounds nasty, and it will probably reach over here in due course in this global village in which we live.
