Late night here in Georgia as I’m working on getting organized. It will take weeks I’m afraid, but I look forward to being done with it all.
SLEEPING DESPITE A COUGH: Here’s something to try if you, or someone in your family, has a cold with a bad cough. I read that if you put Vick’s Vapor Rub on the soles of your feet (or kids feet) and put on socks immediately before bedtime, your coughing will stop in 30 minutes and you’ll sleep well. I tried it and it works! Amazing. (I also read that if you take a garlic bud, cut it and rubbed it onto the soles of your feet, you’ll taste garlic in your mouth in about 20 minutes. Haven’t tried that one yet. Let me know if it works.)
COUGHING WHILE FLYING HINT: We had to get on a plane when we both had horrible coughs. I knew I hated being around someone coughing constantly in a plane so before we got on in Minneapolis to come back to Georgia, we purchased 2 thick washcloths. We folded them twice to get a nice sized square pad. Every time we needed to cough, we coughed into these washcloth pads. It muffled the sound of the cough and kept germs from flying everywhere. I don’t think anyone noticed that we had bad colds. Try it. Your fellow passengers will appreciate it.
Off to Florence, SC, Wednesday to give a program Thursday and teach Friday. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone there at the Fox Swamp Guild. ‘Till then.
