Wee! While I am feeling a million times better than I was on Saturday, I am stuck with a pesky cough and sore throat that I fear will be with me for a while. Happily, my body aches have gone away … but the nagging cough is supremely irritating. Since I’ve been hacking up a lung, I’ve been trying to soothe my throat with my fave cough drops ever — Luden’s Throat Drops in Wild Cherry:

Fans of Luden’s are well aware that they are the best tasting cough drops around … when I was little, I would use any threat of a scratchy throat to get my mom to buy me small boxes of the stuff so that I could eat them and “soothe” my throat. I admit, I ate them more as candy rather than actual cough drops. These days, I actually suck on them so that they actually soothe my throat. I’ve used Hall’s menthol drops before and while they prolly work better, the taste is just too much for me to handle. I’m a Luden’s man thru and thru.

I have to send out love and appreciation to my dear David for taking such great care of me this weekend. He’s been making me tea and feeding me healthy fruit and juices to help me fight off my illness. He’s been such a doll, I just love him :)

I’m hoping to have the strength to leave the house today … I’ve been cooped up for far too long. David and I have errands to take care of and we MUST get out into the world today. Wish me luck.
