Two things make a post?

kateMaybe three. Or four!
1. Today's![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
solstice_calendar is locked, so if you want to see the recipe, you will actually have to join the community (instead of just subscribing). No biggie if you don't want to, but no obligation if you do join - really, really. And you can always UN-join later.
2. I finally put Four Funerals and a Wedding up on the AO3. I hope the new formatting is helping SOMEBODY out, because it sure is a pain in my ass. Clearly my section markers are not good section markers, they screw things up every damn time.
3. Secret Santa started today at work. It's $1 gifts for four days, and then a $15 gift on Friday. These people do not understand the meaning of $1, let me tell you. It's pretty freaking annoying to those of us who actually stick to the monetary values we're supposed to. We look like massive cheapskates. (The gift I got was more like a $5 gift, so that's nice, but... but... (ugh, I'm so sorry to be a scrooge).)
4. Inlaw function yesterday was relatively painless (fun, actually) and got us home with several pounds of cheese, chorizo, wine, crackers, and other goodies, as well as a bit of cash tucked into some books. All that and a pleasant visit with the sister-in-law, which was quite nice.
Oooh, and 5. My brother is sick. I hate it when he's sick (almost as much as he does). Any good home remedies for colds besides chicken soup?

For easy organization later:
no subject
on 12/13/10 09:17 pm (UTC)The important thing is to keep the lungs and sinuses as steamed-up as possible, for minimum discomfort and maximum loosening-up of the crud. Chicken soup does this and also replaces electrolytes (yay, sodium), but one can't swallow soup all day long.
Hot showers as well, and a humidifier in the bedroom isn't a bad idea.
