I’m fighting a cold, and so took a break yesterday to sit and stare at the ocean for a while. Very little makes me feel better than being near the Pacific, especially when a day that started out raining buckets ends up looking like this by lunch time.
What are your best cold prevention/busting tips? I’m seemingly particularly susceptible to them, so am always eager to add new tricks to my arsenal.

Quit smoking?
Depends on the type of cold, but for instant congestion relief – a cup of hot tea with a little whiskey really does wonders. Also recommend brewing a batch of tea from fresh ginger, and eating a big spicy meal.
there has been a lot of tea and spicy food in my life this week, but not enough whiskey. I should get on that.
