Sickness

I try to stay ahead of the wintertime illnesses by having the cod liver oil out and going early. I can get lazy at this as long as I don't hear of any illnesses coming around. That is kinda what happened this year, I wonder when I'll learn that in December you should start glugging it down. 

 This was our first line of defense against the flu/sickness. Those of you who know me, know that I prefer to go the natural route; when  it comes to staying healthy. At first whiff of this stuff, we went for the Vitamin C, garlic,(I peeled and sightly cooked bulbs of garlic in a little olive oil) vitamin d3, and cod liver oil, when the first one succumbed out came the silver and aloe vera juice too.

 When the youngest got it and couldn't swallow the vitamin C, I had the eldest go to Walmart after work and she came home with another array!! A little medicine came along this time. Oh well, sometimes you must. What normally happens is we use a little of it and then it sits in the cupboard and gets outdated and then hits the garbage.  I have a lot of good to say about the Emergen-C that stuff seems to really help and the mucinex has really helped with my sinuses and the youngest cough. 

We are very grateful, those of us who did get sick the duration was pretty short and several haven't had anything. I actually have had to deal with my sinuses more then anything else. I'm trying to attack it with all my might right now.

Church has been cancelled the last 2 Sundays due to sickness, I don't remember that happening before. I have enjoyed the relaxed Sundays; but I do hope everyone will feel better soon as being sick is no fun.
