The Plague of the Peters House

Sometimes you just gotta stay in your PJs all day and drink Starbucks, you know?

At the Peters compound we are now on Day 7 of the worst plague in about five years. I’m not sure what has made this cold/flu situation so much worse than ones we’ve dealt with in the past few years (one guess…Tate Peters), but it has knocked me right on my ass. I have been living on a cocktail of NyQuil and sleep and I STILL haven’t kicked this damn thing. At least I finally have my voice back, and for that I have to thank the best barista in the history of Starbucks, lovely Grace, who heard my attempt to order and interjected with, “Oh honey, do you have a sore throat? I will take care of you.” Then she brought me the best drink in the history of ever. Just in case you’ve been infected with this horrendous sickness as well, I figured I’d share it here:

Tazo Refresh Tea (has a touch of mint)
2 tablespoons of honey
A pinch of cinnamon

Drink it as hot as you can stand it, and you will feel better than you have in days.

A few more recommendations I’ve received:

– Eat fresh pineapple
– Up your vitamin intake
– Reduce sugar in your diet

Do you guys have any amazing cold or flu remedies you’d like to share? If so, put them in the comments, I can use all the help I can get!
