The Hawaiian word of the day is
Ho'ola
It is healer.

We could use a healer in my house as we are plagued by what's going around .... the benefit of being sick is reading more. I am currently reading Victoria Roberts' X MARKS THE SPOT, featuring a heroine who is a ho'ola ....
He was a Highland Rogue Wicked with a Bow and Just as Wicked with the Ladies.
Declan MacGregor hadn't a care in the world beyond finding a soft bed and a willing woman...until he had to escort Lady Liadain Campbell to the English court. The woman needles him at every turn, but he can't just abandon her to that vipers' nest without protection.
She Never Asked for a Bodyguard...
Liadain wasn't thrilled to be left in the care of her clan's archrival. It was as if the man never had a lady tell him no before! And yet as whispers of treason swirl through the court and the threat of danger grows even sharper, her bitter enemy soon becomes the only one she can trust...

I recommend lots of rest and lots of water.
ReplyDeleteLove the title of this one.
My cure all for when anybody is sick is, lots of tea, tomato soup and toast, and of course, lots of rest.
ReplyDeleteI've heard so much about this book, and would love to read it.
Congratulations to Victoria on her new release.
Congrats to Victoria on the release! Ummm... I'd have to say... sleep!
ReplyDeleteWater and sleep. And night time Nyquil to try and help with sleep.
ReplyDeleteI take vitamin C. Not sure if it works but that's what I do all the time!
ReplyDeleteI have a special cinammon tea drink recipe that a good friend gave me. It always makes me feel better.
ReplyDeleteGinger ale or Sprite depending on how the tummy feels and saltines and chiken noodle soup. Sometimes sucking on a peppermint candy will help.

I drink warm 7up when I am sick. It always seems to make me better. Or Hot tea always works also.

Oh, ginger ale was a staple in our house, that and tea, depending on your illness, and soup and liquid Jello. My one daughter had the terrible stomach virus but so far no flu in our family thank goodness. Hope you are all feeling better.
ReplyDeleteWell, it really depends on which type of ailment we're talking about. For respiratory, I go with chicken soup and Sprite/7-Up. For digestive, I go with Sprite/7-Up and Jello.
ReplyDeleteJust hot soup and Vitamin Water.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping you get well soon. I use to drink gingerale i now drink a cup of hot water with honey lemon juice real ginger .
ReplyDeleteI also have a bath while water is running I put real ginger in the water, before I get in i scoop it out throw a handful of epsom salts.
Have a good one Ann/alba

I'm not sick very often, but if I have a sick stomach it's 7-Up and if I have a cold, it's staying in bed and sleeping until it goes away. :D Of course soup helps too.
ReplyDeleteI think sleep always helps.
ReplyDeletechicken soup
ReplyDeleteNothing special - just lay around, read and Advil. Nyquil at night .
ReplyDeleteA good rest, chicken soup, and orange juice. :)
ReplyDeleteKeep hydrated. Get lots of rest.
ReplyDeleteA cup of tea is my cure all - for everything.
ReplyDeleteMy 'cure all'? If at all possible I try to 'work it out'. When its not possible, I drink a warm cup of tea and take to my bed for a bit.
ReplyDeletei Drink tons of fluids... Take vitamin C as much as i can... Those cenergy things are awesome especially when "moms" can't get sick as they have 50 million other things to do. Nap in my pj's and my mink blanket.

Wish I had one, because I have been fighting a flu bug since Mid October and I can't get rid of it. When I don't feel well I grab a good book and look for a quiet corner to escape everything
ReplyDeleteI call my Mom. I may be heading toward middle age, but it makes me feel better to call her and hear her tell me I will be fine. Silly I know.
ReplyDelete*whispering* why do you keep writing x marks the spot?
ReplyDeleteI love Highlander reading and I love reading new authors. VR would be a new author for me......Oh, another thing I love, Clever titles!!!! :-) lisakhutson at cox. net
Oh, I have no magic feel better ideas. Only cold water, lots of sleep and a certain amount of whining helps too.......
DeleteI hope you all get to feeling better soon! When my stomach is upset and I can't hold anything down I sip on Pepsi. Tiny sips.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to read Declan's story! I fell hard for him in Temptation In A Kilt. This is one that I'm gifting myself next week on my birthday when I go book shopping. :)
Comfort Foods - Chicken Soup, Scrambled Eggs, Cinnamon Toast, Tea with Honey & Milk & cuddle under a blanket to stay warm.
ReplyDeleteClassic cure all. Me...well I wish I had something. My husband sweats by the jetty pot. I just get to be miserable. Even worse when your kids get it, mine were sick right before I left for vacation so of course I am under the weather. At least the weather is a beautiful 80 here in Puerto Rico...hey! That's my cure all hahaha
ReplyDeleteHope you get well soon!
ReplyDeleteMy cure all is ensuring I have enough rest/sleep. Usually when I fall sick it's nothing more virulent than a cough/cold or a bad throat (touch wood) & i gargle with warm salt water & ensure I get enough liquids/water.
My cure is to go to bed and rest which I could do once my children were grown.
