So, I have a cold. A killer cold. But it's okay now. I can speak again and the congestion is draining out of my head as I type. (I do enjoy sharing unpleasant sensations.)
I avoided any terrible Russian home remedies. My host grandma had me suck on a piece of lemon to help my throat -- which helped actually, and isn't particularly unpleasant. And later, I tried warm milk with a bit of butter in it, which I don't think is any more helpful than hot tea. My host mom also told me that I shouldn't take a shower, which I don't understand, so I showered while she was out of the house and felt much, much more human.
And that's all I have to say about that.

Metra, Glad you're feeling better. Sucking on the lemon reminded me of your dad. When he was little (2 or 3 years old), he loved to suck on the lemon pieces we had used in our tea. I can remember him sitting on that old stool we still use and sucking on a lemon until he went to sleep at the table. Glad it made you better. Let's hope that's your last cold of the season. Take care of yourself.
Hey, does this think work? That's pretty cool. Hope you get to feeling better.
Your "second-favorite" uncle
