I certainly will be praying for you and that your house will sell.

Knitting,

I've found that gargling (carefully so as not to get strangled) with apple cider vinegar and letting a bit of it go down into the throat helps a sore throat. I've used it full strength and also pretty strong slightly diluted in warm water. - My husband has also been using those Zicam zinc swabs (in his nasal passages) at the first small sign of a cold, and so far, they have worked like a charm. - Us old ladies have it hard!

No cold, just the earache, and possibly the start of a sinus infection. I have chronic rhinitis, and the dry air from heating the house doesn't help!

Might try some vinegar. Hadn't thought about trying that one.

So many people have recommended Zicam that I went to the drug store to find some. I catch everything that comes down the pike nowadays, after years of never getting sick.

I know my immune system is messed up, so I've tried a lot of different things that "speak" to that - from the tummy stuff ("70% of the immune system is in the stomach" their ads say) to the protein drinks ("Boost" your immune system, antioxidants and vitamins) to plain old vitamins I've always taken to cold prevention stuff.

The Airborne seemed like a good deal, but yecccch, that stuff tastes awful. Found a new one called "Hot Apple Cider" last week, thinking that might help. Got it home and it's a nighttime toddy, which I did not want. I'm already sleepy a lot of the time - well, not sleepy, just bone-weary. AND, it also tasted awful - and didn't make me drowsy at all, lol.

So, I stood in front of the cold remedy shelves and there were 20 different "Zicams" - had no idea which was the best to just ward off a cold or flu. Didn't get any of them.

I did buy the Simply Saline last week and used it in the shower (kept forgetting I had it) last night - it seemed to make a small difference in my breathing difficulties today, so I will use it regularly, I think.

I also found some zinc + VitC "melts" and I like those a lot. Don't know if they're doing anything, but I like melts' easiness. What I have now is a return of the blasting cough from that last flu bout several weeks ago - it comes and goes. I've had sniffles start, but I've warded them off.

And sad to say, the rash is back on my hands - but it doesn't itch. It's now splotchy red spots and all the little bumps like bug bites are still there, right under the skin. Hot water hurts, cold water feels good. I can't stand dealing with this stuff in the situation I am in now.

Don't know what to ask for in prayer, except God's will. I just want to be healthy again or rather, to get enough money to buy a car, then see a doctor, then a dentist, so I can get healthy. I was partway there when oil prices started plummeting, thus my meager income - which won't cover the rent in another few months.

So, *worry* is part of my problem - altho, I have to say, it's not as bad as it has been. I have a fair amount of moments of peace, for which I'm very grateful.

Happiness to me is a warm snickerdoodle. And I have some of those. I just want to rejoin the human race and "do" for others again. Thanks for reading, y'all.

That's why I haven't turned the heat on yet. May not do it all. I broke down and bought a new little space heater, when we had the pending ice storm last week - but I'm so scared if it, I only ran it for a few minutes, lol.

I was scared of my old ones, which is why I bought a new one. This is just a little glorified hair dryer, called a "heat fan" which is better than the others - but you still should open a window when running it. And it doesn't say that *anywhere* on the box, which shocked me.

So, if I open a window to let the carbon monoxide out, it's colder than it was before I turned the heater on, lol. I gave up. I've had CO poisoning from a central heating unit before and lived to tell about it. Never again!

Thank you - yes, I am, always.

I don't think I even saw "nasal gel," lol. What does it say in the big letters at the top? Flu? Cold? I saw little spoons, little spray misters, tablets that fizz, liquids, all kinds of stuff!

Praying for your Health, Dear Knitting, and for the Sale of your House.

"Winter has a joy for me,
While the Saviour's charms I read,
Lowly, meek, from blemish free,
In the snowdrop's pensive head.

Spring returns, and brings along
Life-invigorating suns:
Hark! the turtle's plaintive song
Seems to speak His dying groans!

Summer has a thousand charms,
All expressive of His worth;
'Tis His sun that lights and warms,
His the air the cools the earth.

What! has autumn left to say
Nothing of a Saviour's grace?
Yes, the beams of milder day
Tell me of his smiling face.

Light appears with early dawn,
While the sun makes haste to rise;
See His bleeding beauties drawn
On the blushes of the skies.

Evening with a silent pace,
Slowly moving in the west,
Shews an emblem of His grace,
Points to an eternal rest." **William Cowper**

We Exalt You, King Jesus! We Magnify Your Name! Let Every Heart Adore our God; Your Awesome Worth Proclaim! Be Pleased, Merciful Master, to Answer the Prayers of Thy Beloved Lambs. O God of Greatness and Love, Heal our Knitting, we Pray Thee, our King. Bring about Miracles to All our Petitions, O Magnificent Lord. Be Always Adored, O Father our King, as we Pray in the Name of Thy Son, amen.

"Love is not easy," You once told me,
"Watch me in the garden, and you will see
How Love is a struggle, hard and heavy,
When Love and our wants do not agree,
And the prayer on our lips is, 'Father, hear me!'
And we, hearing Him in Love, do not flee.
This is a sacrifice most pleasing."

Love is not easy - I understand, but know
When I am touched by the hand of loss and sorrow,
The road of hard choices where Love has me go,
You have walked that hard road, too and the shadows only show
There is light up ahead, where you vanquished the foe.
Help me to love, Lord.
