I bet my parents never thought they’d see the day when I willingly followed their advice.  Welcome to that day, Mom and Dad.

Tonight I am smothered in Vicks and I gargled salt water.  Two points for me.

Kevin has been dealing with a sore throat and several people at work have been sick so I guess I knew it would be my turn soon.  I’ve been trying to fend it off for the past two days, but it hasn’t worked.  Water, water, water, Vitamin C supplements, daily multivitamins, fruits, veggies…and now I’m finally resorting to Vicks and salt water.  Gag.

Sadly, I am kind of wishing for some poho oil and a handkerchief about now too.  Is it sad that I’m embarrassed to admit that?  I guess it’s kind of like childhood naps; sometimes your parents are right and they weren’t lying when they said that they wished they could take a nap every day too.  I distinctly remember how much I hated them saying that and how much I didn’t believe them.

Lesson learned: Vicks still stinks.
