Oh, Bee-feeling bad is no fun. I hope you feel better very soon. The hot toddies sound like a good idea to me. I don't do the flu shots. I had one years ago and almost died from it. That's the only time I've had the flu. I try to just stay away from coughing if I know it ahead of time. I'm a firm believer in hand washing and in gargling twice daily with Listerine. If someone has the flu, I'll get you some homemade chicken soup and plenty to drink and then I'll run like a scalded dog! Feel better!
