Saturday's "hanging out" food journal

[NCN]

Jeannie, I already had my low fat ice cream. I usually skip that. If it isn't the real stuff and cherry vanilla, to me it isn't worth having. It was all right, but I'm not sure it was worth the calories. I should have had a pear or grapes. I have just been snacking since lunch. I got the flowers potted and the neck is more red. Tomorrow is weigh in day. I always weigh in on the first of the month. I won't tell you how it went though. Just letting you know I am starting fresh tomorrow morning.

Izzy, I used to have a neighbor that swore by lemon juice and alum. I could never bring myself to try it. I wonder if it wouldn't choke you to death. The alum is supposed to suck the poison out of your throad. It is one of those old home remedies. Use at your own risk. I hope you get to feeling better.

I did a search for sore throat remedies. That was an education in itself. Everybody seems to have some kind of cure and most wanted to sell me something. I really think warm salt water is best, but I don't like it so I use mouth wash to gargle. If you start running a high fever, you need to see a doctor. Strep can be dangerous. I can get a strep infection by seeing someone with it across the room or it seems that way. I used to have at least one flair up every Winter. It is really important that you rest. With me, rest seems to cure everything. I go to bed and my body gets well. Guess I have a good immune system.

Thanks for all the suggestion NCN & Jeannie
I don't have a fever which is great
I tried the lemon juice & honey
the salt water
The chinese way- cutting pieces of ginger,boil it in water,add brown sugar and drink it. can't just have ginger water it will be too spicy.
Someone said something about burbon & whiskey,I don't have alcohol at home.
Slept a lot

Not sure what alum is,sounds scary. I am sure I will feel better tomorrow.

Had some Theraflu liquid which makes me groggy.
