My miracle cure or prevention is grapefruit seed extract. It comes in a liquid extract or pills. The liquid drops are very bitter but it's more versatile and I don't run out as often. I dissolve some Airborne in a few ounces of water or warm water with honey and add 10-15 drops of grapefruit seed ext. and chug-a-lug it down or you can take the pills. I can't remember when I had a cold or flu get past the tickle in my throat, it's been years and I never take flu shots and haven't had the flu either. Cautionary note: Some people are allergic to grapefruit but I don't know anyone who is.

Hi Kristi, I must have been on the tail end of ordering the garden ones cuz they didn't come with as many offsets as I thought they would. It doesn't really matter cuz the bulbs were quite healthy and as soon as the roots were re-hydrated, they took off. There are probably 4 or 5 scapes per pot and as soon as everything flowers, I post pictures. Warm Regards, Fred

This all sounds so familiar but I found some ways around most of my problem but not all of my problem. For work I wake up around 6 a.m. weather I fall asleep at 10:30 pm or 1 a.m. Very often it is much to closer to 1 a.m. I have a hyperactive bladder that rears its bladder head the minute I plan to go to sleep. I just listened to a Google talk all about how bad it is all the way around to not get it around 7 or 8 hours of sleep. How you look is affected as well. Getting 8 hours of sleep is truly is a beauty sleep that you miss out on. He says our hearts are involved that up all sorts of other illnesses like Alzheimer's and stuff like that are somehow connected to sleep. Oh woe is me I can't seem to do anything about that my hyperactive bladder and getting more sleep as I have to go to work. I don't have a problem actually falling asleep once I get to bed. In general I don't tend to mull over things. My mantra is I will plan and take care of that in the morning. Most of the time I will end up taking care of whatever it is that is plaguing me. That has helped the worrying part of me to trust the planning and execution part of me and it helps me to silence my mind and go to sleep. I tell myself if I'm inundated with bad or negative memories or even just lots of ruminating that these are memories of memories and they are in the past and they don't belong in the present with me right now. Unless I'm writing my memoirs. Which nobody would want to read :-). Of course I try to use my memories in constructive ways to remind myself not to do that again. You can tell I'm by myself too much! Because I have so much time to think weird thoughts. :-) Matthew Walker on sleep and why it's so good for you. https://youtu.be/c1yGw_hfEfk

Start waking up. Removed cover last weekend. I see some plants start show inflos. One in ground at front yard has one. Last winter, I did not cover for frost and it did not get any black tips. I thought I have more time to enjoy my plumeria while I do WFH but same as usual, only on weekend I have a time to enjoy them. Stay safe and Healthy everyone.
