I have a full post coming up but this ridiculous cough, throat and now chest thing is being very stubborn and rude and is hanging on so I have been still not feeling well and not up to all my usual blogging, commenting, dropping, etc so I do apologize. It has been almost 2 weeks with this sickness so I imagine I will have to go to the doctor and get an antibiotic (I only go to the doctor if I am half dead ) so that I can get rid of this and back on my feet. I promise to get back to all the great blogs that I read and drop on asap!
In the meantime, since I am on a green tea kick and have cats I found the below information really great and since I know a lot of you have cats as well you might find this helpful!
No more stinky litterboxes with…….GREEN TEA!
I tried this and it worked!!! Joy, joy, joy! Even though we have a cat door at our house and the litterbox is in the basement I still hate the smell! All you need to do is take the tea leaves from your cup of green tea (yes, I am sure you all drink green tea everyday because it is so healthy for you), let them dry and then sprinkle on the litter. The catechin in the herb has antibacterial properties to kill any odor and the scent deters fleas. This is the same way that green tea deters bad breath!! Love it! I am drinking green tea right now and just can’t get over all the great things about it!! Give it a shot and let me know!
It's a crazy world 2020!

Super good advice---put the old teabags in the cat's litter box. I'll give it a try.
Take care and get well soon.
Happy trails.
I gave you some awards. However, they may be some you have already received and I know how much time it takes to pass them on so don't feel obligated to do so. Just wanted to pass them on to you :)
Hope you feel better soon...sounds as though you might need to see the doctor though!
Cheers
With two kitties stinkin' up the box, I'm gonna have to try that! Thanks for the tip! ;)
Your symptoms on the other hand could most likely be vastly improved with elderberry. Elderberry is naturally antiviral - it is one of those things that really all of us should have in our cupboards especially with swine flu being on the increase. If you are unable to get some fresh then it is available as a syrup for children and their are capsules and tablets for adults. I'm not sure if it grows in your area but if it does the berries make a really delicious compote that you can add to yogurts, spoon into cake mix, pour over ice cream, dollop into rice pudding, mix in with cereals and even add to Summer fruit squashes. Added to this Astragalus is well known and respected for its immune boosting qualities. I have also always been a fan of high dose Vitamin C and Zinc as both these in combination usually reduce the worst symptoms of colds, coughs and sore throats and appear to make their invasion of the body much less devastating and long.
I'm not sure whether you may have heard of Patrick Holford and I hope that you don't mind me mentioning the link to his website - but he has the latest information on how Vitamin C and Zinc help with Swine Flu on this link:

I hope that you feel much better soon. Take care.
There are some new litters out there made with corn that are very effective at odor control.
Btw, this green tea idea is great! Will try it! : )

Now, about your illness. Hubby is getting over it, and I'm trying to get over it. I have bad allergies and thought it was that; didn't go to the doctor as soon as I should have. Sounds like you've not gone as soon as you should have either. 2 wks is to long to be ill. I went after a week of coughing, sneezing, headache, congestion...I could actually hear myself wheezing, yep/ Fluid in the lungs. Bronchitis, and pneumonia are really going round. She said she's been seeing alot of it. Like you, I don't go. This is the first trip to the doctor in 3 years. Antibiotics, steroid nose spray, decongestants, and inhaler. Please go and feel better soon.
While you're home and need a diversion, swing by for a visit.
