So today…..we did have some snow but nothing like was ‘sort of’ predicted. Didn’t come here….thankful!!! New shovel is heavier so it’s officially DH’s and I’ll use the red one. Annoying part was getting everything swept/shoveled and driveway plowed. Took a romp in the woods with the dog. Took a nap while sitting at my computer [chaise lounge so I didn’t fall off the chair] 😉 ….and woke to another bit of snow. Did it all over again….tho not much.
Worse…..we’re subZERO….and that’s the part that can get dangerous. Supposed to warm up this week. We’re TRYING to get out to restaurant with our elderlies for belated birthday celebration. ……
THEN I read about THE NEW FLU STRAIN… { I’ll do this without being an actual link ….cuz of the spammers y’know. Just copy without the NOLINK if you want to go there….or Google your own}

OK…I’ve been saying we need Sambucol or other elderberry concoction … Just put it on the top of the list. Next time in town….. We’re restocked with our sickness items after DH broke our ‘never sick’ record in Jan/Feb. Except that product.
Point of Information: It’s been said that you should NOT use an elderberry product if it’s a pandemic-type flu. That means the ones dying the most are young, healthy adults instead of the usual old, children, ill folks. Has to do with overstimulating the response …. {long time since I studied that…look it up so you know}
This one does NOT look like a pandemic type. Just that symptoms are more harsh. I know a 5 yr old who was admitted to hospital last week with “pneumonia and dehydration”. In our local article about this new strain of Type A flu, it says folks feel fine and all the sudden they’re very sick. “Hit by a truck” sick. Young ones at risk. This round might last til May. {groan}
So research was part of my prepping today.
