And so I'm up, listening to Mama breathe and the cats snore, while I read about an ancient cemetery in the Tarim Basin (ah, another Central Asian-Silk Road connection I wouldn't have understand a month ago) that is full of phallic and vulva symbols because the people celebrated procreation (I kid you not). And about a lovely turn-of-the-20th century apartment and its genteel owners. I'm definitely avoiding reading the AP wire about the sick tigers in the Chinese zoo and won't even link there. I don't want to know, especially at this hour. Ugh, I just came across an article on teenagers with cancer. I think I'm going back to sleep.

Midnight Musings
A long coughing fit 45 minutes ago has left me wide awake, despite throat spray and cough drops and water. In sympathy, Sis woke up coughing too, but a fresh cup of water has sent her back to slumber. At least my coughing finally abated, with the help of a spoonful of honey. I have it right here in case the cough comes back. I shouldn't complain, though, as coughing is always the last phase of my colds, meaning I should feel much better, even if a little tired, tomorrow.

When I hear people at the swimming pool complaining about the children I point out that in 20/30 years time those children will be caring for them in one way or another and soto voce I expect your mother thought the same thing. Hey Ho, concordia parvae res concord or do they?
ReplyDeleteDo you know of the merits of Vitamin C?
You might try putting Vicks Vapo-Rub on the bottom of your feet. Carolyn has done that with some success when the kids have had a cough. Of course, wear socks to keep it off the sheets.
