James Bond Marathon

Despite my best efforts to keep the germs away, I lost the battle this weekend. All week I had a slight sniff, but nothing too much to worry about. I was taking echinacea, netti potting, eating healthy foods and getting my rest. On Friday evening I felt like a mop that had wiped the floor of the dirtiest bar floor you could imagine. I had had a busy week trying to take care of things at work, wrangle the kids and manage their lives as much as could so my husband could rest, and deal with the grief of Grace's uncertain future. My body must of felt Friday coming and was holding out until it could collapse in a heap on the sofa and watch hours of James Bond movies. I had a fever and a terrible sinus head ache. The pain was somewhere between a migraine and giving birth!! I caved in a took an Exedrine. For those of you who don't know me, this is a big deal. I couldn't take any more echinacea, as it starts to lose it's effectiveness after five days and Friday was day five of the pill popping routine. As I lay in bed shivering I remembered another secret weapon I had stashed in my vitamin cabinet. I would have to whip it out in the morning and see if I could work some magic. When morning rolled around I went down to the kitchen and took out the grapefruit seed extract. This stuff is awesome, but tastes awful. It is super bitter and could strip paint if you needed it to. I mixed it with some juice and downed it. I think I may of lost some of the taste buds on my tongue. Grapefruit seed extract kills bacteria, viruses, micro organisms and taste buds!!! It is very effective and works pretty quickly. Hopefully this will work and the elephant that is currently sitting on my sinuses will get up of its rump.
