the special mix

for almost a week now I've been sick. it has truly sucked my energy and will to live. though it has gotten me out of things such as church and work, it has been devastating to my running and my general feelings of well-being. basically it has been completely crappy.


a couple years ago this guy told me about his tried + true cold remedy: the cayenne pepper/orange juice mix. he swears by it.

now I swear by it too.

to make:
take one juice glass
pour in oj
shake in desired amount of cayenne
stir
enjoy!

I'm not sure if it actually works or not. my friend, mr jason latour, says the heat in the cayenne makes your nose run, getting all the gunk out; and something else about it was supposed to help as well. can't really remember. {the cayenne was a key ingredient for cleansing my body of unwanted waste, maybe it's the same idea} but what I really like about it is the way it makes my ears burn. and it does make your eyes water and your nose run. it feels cleansing for that one minute I'm feeling the effects. afterward it's back to the same stuffy nose. but at least I'm getting in a little more vitamin c, right?

peter does not like this remedy at all. I made him drink some once when we were dating. he almost died. he will never try it again. I guess the special mix isn't for everybody.
