Oh boy. Life has been quite hectic since I last made a post here. Ever stop and think about how much you’ve accomplished in so little time? Sometimes it feels like there’s so much to do and not enough time to do it in! I consider myself to be pretty industrious with a tendency to bite off more than I can chew. I thought that by joining the gym at work and starting to eat healthier I’d feel better about myself and start to look better, too. Unfortunately the mild head cold I thought I picked up from the treadmill turned out to be a nasty case of strep throat. So much for healthy! I haven’t been to the gym in almost a week, but then again rest is probably the better option right now. Thanks to some wise solicited advice from an old friend, I’ve discovered “the cure”. Now, for the 21 + crowd I highly recommend this throat soothing method as it’s helped me to sleep for the past 4 nights. The only down side is it makes you a little sleepy and definitely impairs your ability to operate any type of machinery or drive. So please, don’t try this at work and definitely use common sense when deciding your dosage!
1 shot bourbon (I prefer Jim Beam Red Stag, a little sweeter than others)
1 quater wedge fresh lemon
2 tablespoons honey
(for the daring) 1 dash cayenne pepper
Top bourbon with boiling water, add honey lemon and pepper (optional).
Allow to cool slightly, so as not to burn yourself, and enjoy! I found this goes well with bubble baths, or while reading.
This is probably the longest period of time I have gone without speaking out loud. As most people who know me will tell you I am a bit of a talker once you get me started.
Stay tuned for future updates, and if you live in North Carolina watch for updates about our upcoming speaking engagement!
Until then I’ll be in bed with a good book in my hands and a thermometer under my tongue.
