Woe is me

Three shows and a Christmas bazaar in four weeks, going to work, all the insanity of an everyday life, did I have to get a cold too?  I know whine, whine, whine.  As a diabetic I have to be extra cautious about medications that I take.  I've had a couple of very bad reactions to over the counter cold and flu meds so I try to treat myself with natural cures as much as possible.  I read about putting eucalyptus oil on your feet before going to bed to stop coughs.  I tried it and it really worked.  I had been coughing my head off every time I laid down.  I put on the oil with a cotton ball, pulled on some socks and didn't cough again for seven hours.  I'm a believer.  You can buy the oil in most health care stores or on line.  You could even try using Vicks but that would be a little messy.
