lemon ginger honey

Third day sick. Fevers at night, sore throat and headaches during the day. Ugh. Jenny makes this tea. It is so simple, Lemon peel, Ginger clump, water and honey. It is so good. I am not a naturalist. I don't try to replace medicine with plants. All the same though, I also don't take medicine. I just get through it. Still, right now, I am drinking this tea, and I actually took two NyQuil. I never ever, ever, ever take these. This is mostly because of a previous heart condition that I was born with, Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome. It would make my heart speed up to outrageous speeds at random times and it could kill me. So, two operations later, I don't have that anymore. But I don't like taking anything that speeds up my heart rate. So, yeah, I must be gaining a whole lot of confidence that that is gone to pop a couple of NyQuil.

I am not sure what it is about the whole naturalistic, holistic, medicine thing that drives me away. It seems fringe I guess... unregulated. But I don't trust medicine companies either. I guess maybe I am just fearful. I just want to trust in my own body and that's about it. And Jenny... because she's a nurse, and she's honest.

I actually haven't been sick for a few years now. So, these back to back illnesses are probably past due. I hate being sick. I never call in sick. I just can't. Leaving my classes with a sub just seems like such a cop-out. So, I go in and suffer through it. Like I will tomorrow. Ugh.

I had a dream last night that a student slipped LSD into a meal that I was eating and that was why my head was racing at night. I won't divulge who that student was ... although it is pretty funny. Hopefully sleep finds me better tomorrow.
good night...
