some days...

Some days I kind of miss being a kid. Especially when I've been trying to kick a cold for a solid week and I'm still going through a box of Kleenex about every three hours and have to take aspirin constantly so that my throat doesn't swell completely shut. I miss lying in bed, reading Calvin & Hobbes and having lovely nourishing and comforting things brought to me by my mother. 

Hot honey lemonade was one of those things. Not only is it delicious, but it's actually a good cold remedy. The lemon juice is full of vitamin C, and honey is both antibacterial and an expectorant. Local honey is the best, containing the pollen you're regularly exposed to and helping build your resistance to allergic reactions.
