Katie must still not be feeling well today and I think she passed the cold along to me, so today's question wil be based on that.

Do you have any "comfort" things that make you feel better when you are sick? chicken soup, a certain blanket, etc?

I have snuggles with Puskin.

And if he's in a grumpy mood, big fluffy socks and my snuggly cashmere sweater will do the trick instead.

ENGLAND... LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY!
I'm still getting over a cold myself
But whenever i'm sick like that i hate fuss, so all i want to do is get my blankie, adopt a position on the sofa with plenty of fluids by my side, the remote for the t.v. and the babies on my lap, with peace and quiet, and i had all three of them on me at the weekend, bliss!!

Knee deep in cat litter
Usually just some peace and quiet but with three boys...that doen't happen.
So something that I love is having some lemon tea. You fill a cup with hot water, put in lemon juice to taste and some honey to taste. It feels SOOO good. I also like to soak in a nice warm bubble bath.

A bowl of nice hot chicken noodle soup and Frisco of course!


And when I have a sore throat I find hot chocolate helps.

Whenever we get sick - its all about being cozy
Get everything you need all ready to go & just lay/relax the rest of the day & hope the sickness goes away!

A big bowl of chicken noodle soup soothes nicely...and being snuggly with our fuzzies helps too, they make you smile when you aren't feeling good

Just laying down with my electric blanket on and my big Yowdy siamese cuddled up with his head on my pillow purring makes me feel so much better.

Chamomile Tea. The heat from it helps keep my sinuses drained (I know gross), but that's the one place I get hit everytime I get sick: stuff sinuses to the point I can't breathe.


However if I start to feel ill, my body will begin to crave orange juice. It's really funny that way and most times I drink it until I'm no longer craving it and I don't get sick

My cat!!!!
If I EVER feel bad, she is there for me.
Also, music. There are some bands that just make me feel great no matter what's wrong

Where my cats are
It always used to be Grandma's chicken soup. She used to make a pot a week. But it's been years since I had any between moving out of state in my early teens and now that she's not in top health. My Aunt makes it and I'm sure it's just as good, but I've not had hers.
