This is how my friend Cindy normally looks. I love hanging out with her. She’s fun, kind, and we laugh about everything. She’s the”he dropped his Prostate” friend.
Today was our annual cookie baking day. We hang out at her house, bake cookies for all the people we’re gifting for Christmas. She usually feeds me something yummy for lunch and we burn a few batches of baked goods because we’re distracted with laughing.
Well, today was a little different. Cindy called and said she was sick with a cold. Her head hurt, she couldn’t breathe. What should she do to get better before her birthday wingding on Saturday. I told her to sit tight, I’d be over in a jiff with my pot — just the thing that would cure her right up.
This is what Cindy looked like when she opened the door. Girl, she needed help.
So instead of whipping up a batch of these little Christmas miracles
We stood over her sink doing this
If you’ve never used a Neti Pot, you’re missing out. It is the BEST thing for colds and allergies. They sell them in any drug store. Their purpose is to rinse out your sinuses clogged with, well mucous. Sorry. I said it. I don’t like that word. They are the number one best defense against sinus infections. Makes the perfect Christmas stocking stuffer for that special someone! Smile.
And I made an emergency run for this
which you can only purchase from behind the counter after presenting your photo ID, birth certificate and electric bill, swearing on the Holy Bible you won’t sell or distribute the meds to others.
At 3:59 p.m. I got a report that Cindy was doing great. I’ve saved another life. Until tomorrow’s adventure.
Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.
