Blog #41 --Fighting a Cold--

I've read about a lot of gross medicines from the earth one can make to cure a cold but I found that one needs to get rid of the bacteria (virus?) by actually having a cold, but it's the prolonging of the cold that can beat one down (especially during midterms -_-) However! I have an easy, delicious home made recipe that worked very well for me and I have asthma so colds usually stay more than a week and this one it's been a week and yes, I have taken pumps (because or else I can't breathe) but trust me, do this:

Boil water
Grate fresh ginger root
Infuse ginger in water (any quantity, well not a lot, it's really strong)
If you like nutmeg, you can add that to taste but just a bit
And there! Easy, delish cold-buster! But don't stop there! This is a delicious immune-system booster, relaxer, sugar-free drink that does not involve tea leaves. You can add a bit of honey if you want to make it into a desert after-meal drink, or simply enjoy it before going to bed! It's great!

KO!
YOU WIN! (cold loses and crawls back beaten up in corner of the ring)

Character of the Day:
Seraphine

Appearances: Santa Forgives, Pillow Talk, Needle and Chain, Ashenlust, Shambles.
Bio: Though Seraphine is not at all near being a main character, she appears often because I really like her. She is a Z-Person with purplish skin, biological sister to Marcellus, ruler of the Forà in Munrithe's division of Z's. She is beautiful, smart, kind, but a bit of a rebel and she inherits a pyromaniac and kleptomaniac tendency over the years. She is the leader of her own group of rebels who have gathered at St. Matt's, which includes narcoleptic Elmo, her emotional interest. Elmo and Seraphine would be the equivalent of high school boyfriend and girlfriend (hee hee you're cute) status because Z-People do not have sexual and very little romantic affections. Seraphine has a Jaguar (in the 2000's) that keeps on being 'borrowed' by different inmates such as Ronolov and Chief. She is very wealthy, and she is released not long after Ashenlust begins (as she is being bailed by her brother) however she debates whether to leave because of RA (Release Alienation) since living at St. Matt's is so different than the real world.
