01-12-09

We have a medicine basket instead of a medicine cabinet. We throw all our medicine in there - adult cold/flu, kid cold/flu, what Xander and I need to manage our allergies and asthma. It's a mess, but we can find stuff when we need it if everyone keeps with the plan. I often dump the contents of the basket and start pawing for what I need.

Right now I need a lot. But my favorite hero is Vick's Vapor Rub. Clears my lungs, makes my eyes water, and makes everyone say "what's that smell?!?" as if I should crawl into a hole and die.

I think it is a good idea for the portability of it. Unfortunately, my son would probably add used Kleenex to the mix ~ ew! If you ever have a cough that absolutely will NOT quit... try Buckley's. World's nastiest tasting stuff (the box will even attest to that) that smells like Pine Sol, but it will knock just about any cough.

I'm sorry you are still not well. Feel better soon.
