computer = fixed

I am getting a cold. Also I have my period. But my computer is working again, and I liked my classes last night (wait, was I planning on having a social life this semester? Ha!), and the season premiere of Lost is on tonight. And hopefully the cold will go away before it really takes root. I am drinking lots of water and taking vitamin C and echinacea, and I had cayenne pepper OJ this morning and that always helps. At least I am in my own (albeit freezing cold) office. I brought an extra sweater.

I think I'm getting a cold, too. Damnit. Not now, I've got to dance this weekend.

Wait...cayenne pepper OJ? Whafuck?

I am also getting a cold...

and - Hey, taura_g was sick on Saturday... ::ponders::

I'm drinking tea in large quantities, myself.

I'm planning to make some tea after lunch, I think. (One perk of the new office building: lots of free herbal tea in the kitchen!!)

It's a remedy my daughter-of-hippies friend Elan taught me. Take a small juice glass of OJ and sprinkle cayenne pepper in it so it forms a layer floating on top of the juice and covering it completely. Then you drink it in sips, but fast like a shot, so that the pepper gets right to the back of your throat. It burns, but in a healthy healing way. Elan claims that cayenne pepper has a lot of vitamin C in it and so this gets the C into your poor sick throat. My sickly asthmatic friend Xina also roomed with Elan and totally swears by this cure, too. I think it helps a lot.
