I know you’ve been wondering “where in the world have yall been?” It’s been quite a while since our last post, but I just wanted to let you all know that we are still alive and kicking. Since our last post about regrowing green onions, a lot has happened (and not happened), so let’s hop to it.

Hey guys! After a short break, I’m back! If you remember, my very last post, “Can We Talk: Illness On The Homestead“, I was talking about having a plan when things get a lil squirrely and someone gets sick on the homestead. I had just gotten out of a short vacation at Chateau D’ Hospital and felt that was a pretty interesting topic to talk about. Well, afterward everything went great….for about two weeks. Then I checked back in again – same symptoms, same treatment, same answer – “we don’t know what’s happening”. Anyway, here I am and by God’s grace I bounced back quickly – still standing. We still don’t know what happened, but sometimes you have to just look to the sky, say “Thank You” and not be worried about it. I’m alive and that’s all that matters. Anyway, I took a break from writing for a bit, but not from life for sure! [Read more…] about I’m BACK! With Golden Paste Too….
Can we talk? No really. Go grab some tea, coffee, water, wine or a cold one, get comfy and settle in. This is going to be long, but I think worth the read…Ready? Ok.
Sickness. It’s a part of life. There will be a percentage of us that won’t see more than a little cold. But there are others, like me, that will be diagnosed with a chronic illness that changes our lives one way or another. Maybe we have to change the way we eat, sleep, exercise, or just participate in life in general. Either way, chronic illness brings both change and sometimes uncertainty.

Recently, I had a bout with the flu. I mean, I wasn’t actually diagnosed by a doctor; we were “snowed in”. But honestly, even if we weren’t, I 
probably wouldn’t have gone anyway. I loathe going into doctor’s offices. I’ve been in enough of them during my short time here on earth (more on that at a later date). Besides, everyone’s snotting and sneezing – you end up coming out with something you didn’t even go in with! But, I know the symptoms of the flu, and you better believe…I had the flu. Everything hurt from my scalp and skin to my bones. My head felt like it was in a vice, my lungs felt like I inhaled an ocean, the chills and sweats, couldn’t eat, all I wanted to do was sleep and I had the sexy Barry White voice to match (when I could catch my breath to talk)…it was bad. And as “tough” as I am, I was miserable.
So, what do you do when you can’t get to the doctor and you have cold or flu-like symptoms? Here, I’ll list some of my essentials that I keep on hand and works for us. [Read more…] about What’s in Your Cabinet?
