What's That Smell?

Did you ever wake up in the morning, and smell something horrible, and you don't know what it is, and you can't pinpoint what it smells like. Is is sour? Bitter? Because it's burning your nostrils and making your eyes water profusely! Did something die under something I have neglected to clean in a while?


Well, I woke up Saturday smelling this smell, thinking what is that SMELL! Then I went to have my coffee, and it smelled too, and tasted just like it smelled! Then all of a sudden my face started to hurt...(I know...it's killing you) but my eyeballs felt like they were going to pop out of their sockets, my head about to explode, my nose clogged up like someone in the middle of the night stuffed my pillow in it and my jaws were hurting. My throat feeling like I swallowed sheets of sand paper and my chest feeling like an elephant was sitting on it. I finally came to the conclusion...I think I have a cold! Or at least the start of one!


I haven't been sick in years...not that I am a health nut or take care of myself, I have just dodged the bullet for many years somehow. I was going to blog about it yesterday but thought... who wants to read about my post nasal drip and mucous but then I thought today, oh what the hell...everybody else does!


Yesterday I decided to self medicate myself thanks to the advice of Grandma because there's no better cure for the common cold but home remedies! I got me a bottle of Rumple Minze and some Chocolate Soy Milk, and made myself some hot cocoa...Not only is it a cure for the common cold but I think it relives menopause symptoms as well because after a couple of cups of my minty chocolate delight I paused for a moment and didn't even think about men! Matter of fact, I don't think I thunk about anything for the rest of the day. One good thing is that it really did clear my sinus's and I could breathe!

What was that smell? I don't know because I couldn't smell anything! Today...I smell good!

And thanks to East Bluff Barbie for pointing out to me that orange juice and a splash of vanilla vodka tastes just like a dreamcicle...or is it vanilla vodka and a splash of orange juice? Oh anyway...it's another cure! You know we have to have our vitaman C when we're sick!
Thanks again EBB...I was off dreaming last night with ease! Being sick isn't really that bad~ Matter of fact, it tastes good!
