Woke up with a migraine this morning. Although I’ve taken my medicine it may take a while to kick in, so I’ll use another one of my “Quick Tips”. If you are not a regular coffee drinker, then drinking a cup of tea or coffee can sometimes help stop a migraine! (No Decaf-caffine is the… Keep Reading

I have a cold. One of those cotton head, stuffy nose, not really sick enough to stay in bed but just feel icky type of colds. I didn’t sleep well last night. I woke up for the bathroom because of general achy ness, took a tylenol, went back to bed, woke up a few hours… Keep Reading
