My normal "cure-all" for things that are not going to kill me and do not include a high fever or altered level of consciousness (nurse speak for confusion), is extra rest, lots of fluids, regular doses of ibuprofen, ginger ale if nausea is involved, and hot tea if symptom include cough/sore throat/cold.
Today tulips were added to the list when they were spotted at the grocery store.
Because though the lemon/ginger hot tea was working for me, it didn't seem like enough.
Tulips are good for whatever ails you. You can't help but feel better when you look at them. The spring-like table runner didn't hurt either in my estimation. But only with the pink jar of tulips on top of it. On it's own, it didn't have the same effect.
Totally agree about the healthful benefits of tulips.
And don't forget that cup you drank your tea from. I'm sure it added an extra boost.
Hope you're feeling up to snuff soon.

That first photo! The pinkish jar all soft-focus and shiny with the spring-shouting orange tulips. Gorgeous.

Sorry you're feeling poorly. I've been in the same boat. I didn't think of getting tulips though. I couldn't hear coz ears plugged up so felt like I was living in a deep hole with sound coming from afar. Hope you're soon back to your chipper self. The tulips are stunning. Have you ever visited Holland MI during tulip time? Breathtaking! You'd easily convince yourself you were in Europe.

Winter, eh? All those coughs and colds. I hope you are on the mend.
Lovely runner, I thought, but I get what you mean. We don't have those pretty pink jars here in the UK.
