Another Weekend

Last night was another one of Those Nights. The ones with the coughing jags guaranteed to get you sitting up in your room instead of lying in bed every two hours or so. Trying to get the crap out of the bottom of the lungs that just isn't going anywhere. Herbal teas, vitamin C-heavy drinks, and so on...and while you're not doubled over in complete agony, it's not really helping enough to suit you just yet.

I got a recipe from bunsen_h for ginger beer(although I didn't see any suggestion of alcohol in the recipe) which might be of use, once I'm well enough to try cooking up the mixture in case of future need. Anyone know of a supplier of sodium benzoate-free soda water in Ottawa?

Good thing to listen to this morning: White Coat, Black Art with Dr. Brian Goldman on CBC Radio. Today's installment dealt with the conflict between psychiatric and physical emergency issues and how they might be better addressed to the benefit of those with both kinds of problems. There should be a podcast available shortly if it isn't already up at http://cbc.ca/podcasting/

More as it comes to me...
