The Honey and Cinnamon Cure

For the past week the rest of the family has been down with a horrendous cold. Beck missed work. The boss huddled under layer upon layer of blankets shivering and coughing worse than a platoon of cats at a hairball party.

I avoided them as much as possible in hopes of also avoiding their godawful plague, but sure enough, three days ago, the dreaded sore-throat knocked on my door too.

I had read about the honey and cinnamon thing, and since I love both, I hunted up the formula for colds and took it for three days. I felt a bit under the weather. Slight fever one night. Scratchy throat. Kinda cruddy. But never chair-huddling, moaning, groaning, gasping and choking sick. 

I pretty much sailed right through it, while everyone else was really rough.

Could it have been the cure? Or was it that I don't have respiratory allergies and asthma and they do? And take vitamins religiously?

I dunno, but I am sure going to keep honey on hand. And cinnamon. Yeah, that too.
