Usually I do not catch colds. Yesterday I felt awful towards the end of the day. I went home and collapsed on to the bed. My body was sore. I was burning up and freezing at the same time.

My son made me a cup of green tea. I bundled up and fell into sleep. I needed it. I felt better when I awoke. I made another pot of green tea. I put ginger, clove, and honey in my cup. That cleared it right up. I cooked some eggs and grits. I put tomatoes, onions, garlic, and peppers on my grits.

I really think that the combination of sleep, tea, and good food helped me feel a lot better.
