I am sick.Cough, congestion, itchy throat and ears.
It's this dang, "beautiful" spring weather and temperatures fluctuations.
Allergies to mold, dust and pollen have turned into a head cold.
So I am seeking comfort in something hot and spicy
by the MUG FULL.
A dainty teacup won't do today.
Besides, I have a "new" thrift store find to show off.
Got this rockin' souvenir-of-Arizona coffee mug last week.
I fell in love with the cactus-shaped handle and the campiness of it all.
And it was only a dime! (all of the thrift store's mug are 10 cents because they get so many of them).
Today I am self medicating with hot and peppery ginger tea and spoonfuls of honey.
Dreaming of dry desert heat.
And the "medicine" seems to be working.
My throat feels better.
Cheers to the Grand Canyon State!

Sorry to hear you're feeling grotty - hope the healthy self medication keeps on working.
That mug is so funny - you just have to love it! It must bring a smile to your face when you hold onto the cactus handle.
xx
I hate it that you are so sick. Since I went through nearly a month of it, I totally understand. I hope your ginger tea is medicinal and makes you well. If that doesn't happen, that Arizona mug will have to do the trick. Love it!
Wish our thrift stores were that cheap. The start at $.99 and work their way up from there. No chance for any cheap ones where I shop.
I'm sorry your sick! I had no idea that hot and spicy would help and didn't know there was spicy tea. Fun mug! Now, go curl up and sleep!!
Love the cactus mug, too. But it makes me chant.... California Oranges, Arizona Cactus! We play your team just for the practice!
......that's what happens when you have cheers for football in elementary school....I grew up in the 50's...
Sure hope you feel better soon. I used to have allergies really bad and took shots and everything. Then the shots quit working, as I had a reaction to all of those. But then all of a sudden my allergies got better and I don't need meds for it or anything....don't know why!
Get better soon and happy tea day. Love the cactus mug btw.
Love the cup- Arizona weather is what you need for the allergies and cold - well, at least you can pretend now!!! Drop by for tea if you get a chance........

I can almost imagine that you caught your cold from Elizabeth. Those bugs really do get around! But your ginger tea sounds like the hot ticket for relief .... And that orange too. Take good care of yourself! Poor thing!
