I have been knocked down, run over, and stomped on by a nasty cold/sinus infection. I blame a rogue amoeba from the wadi water that made a home in my sinuses because I woke up with the beginnings of this plague the very next day.
I’ve been 1/2 functioning all week, but the last 2 days I have completely lost my voice and have had to lie low. Because my brain has been fuzzy I haven’t been capable of putting 2 sentences together on my blog either. Lucy has been feeding me all these herbal remedies — her ginger tea spiked with hot pepper, ginger with salt, and today she brought something that she said was the fermented juice of the cashew fruit, added it to the tea and had me drink it. It tasted like ginger laced vodka and it burned going down. So far pink elephants aren’t flying around the room, but I’m not certain they aren’t going to start.
On the bright side, I found a website that streams a continual loop of old Judge Judy episodes so I’m tucked in bed with the sweet sounds of courtroom drama sending me to dreamland . . .
