Scones and Honey, Lemon and Honey

I haven't been out of the house for a couple of days and we are pretty low on comestibles. In fact, snacks seem completely non-existent. So, this evening I made scones and we ate them with butter and honey. Honey is as healthy choice when you're sick, right?
I am really congested and miserable, but luckily, The Girl is not the kind of person to be longsuffering, and so when she realized she had a cold, she went straight out and bought some cold medicine.
I decided to have some before bedtime. Maybe it will help me breathe while I sleep. I would hate to stop breathing.
It's a night time formula with honey and lemon and you make a tea with it using hot water. Again, the cold medicine is honey-flavored, so I know the scones were a healthy choice.
This is Alka-Seltzer cold medicine. It comes in packets instead of tablets. Somehow, I feel like it might not work because it's not fizzing. Plop, plop, fizz, fizz. That is the sound of Alka Seltzer.
It's really really sweet, which I can taste even though I haven't really been able to taste much else today.
I am going to toss this down and get to bed. And btw, for all my bubbler friends here, @angelaterese13 joined today. I hope she decides to join us and have some fun here.

@allknowing A cold is three days coming, three days staying and three days leaving. But you can make those middle three days more bearable with symptom relief.

I sometimes break down and take the nighttime nasal stuff, just to sleep with a cold, since that part of the day is often the more miserable one

That made me giggle, @Rollo1. Also the whole household often appreciates the adults not being grumpy from poor sleep, or snoring so loudly everyone is kept up.

Have honey lemon juice, and or whiskey, and chicken noodle soup. I'm not sure if any of this really works but people always suggest it for a cold. I'm not sure if they say feed a cold and starve a fever or is it the other way round, Anyway try that too.

I hope it worked for you and you feel better today... I think some of these cold remedies are very good, I usually go for unflavoured or lemon ones ... as I do not really like honey...

Sorry you're feeling under the weather, honey! (silly joke) A heavy cold is miserable - Hope the combination of honey and Alka Seltzer does the trick! Glad to see the bubblers' names on here - I'll try to get the hang of this soon so I can interact with everybody again!
