mimi_sardiniaI have a sore throat. I am suspecting it's a cold because on top of everything, this morning my nose felt a bit blocked.
I'm already trying to treat it, Strepsils and copious amounts of lemon tea.
I hope I can cope, unlike the last cold I came down with I don't have any money - at all - so if I need more strepsils I'll have to rely on Mum to get them. Mind you, strepsils aren't cheap - they're over $6 a packet. I think I may ask Mum for a couple of dollars to buy some eucalyptus lollies - but not to eat straight, only so I can melt them in my tea. That has a damn good effect, leaning over a nice steaming hot cup of tea that has a strong eucalyptus scent to it - very clearing for the nasal pasages.
I also need sugar - I hate artificial sweetener and refuse to use it but I can't drink my tea without sweetener, I need it to balance up the lemon juice (which I am quite liberal with).
I am sick! Hear me whine!
