A reminder

I was chatting with another member in messages (DE) and he reminded me that pickle juice is a sure cure for muscle cramps.
I sipped some before bed and the two times I got up in the night. No leg or foot cramps at all last night.
We went and tagged the car when we got up. At that time, to the north of us it looked like a heavy storm. The weather maps agreed, but it did not stay together to visit us. I was hopeful. The storm was about forty miles north of us.
Today I am a bit "draggy" and have a sore throat. I made some elderberry tea and sweetened it with honey. That has done the trick. I do not have a fever or anything else to make me think I am actually sick.
We had hot dogs and watermelon for lunch. Very summerish, that is for sure.

Oh this rotten heat makes us lazy. I used to handle it a lot better than I do now.

Herbal tea with honey was good for that.

@GardenGerty That's always good for a sore throat.

It is a solution that has a long history. I feel like it can't hurt.

I read where pickle juice can also aid in weight loss.

It seems to have worked. I will say it is inexpensive and does not hurt anything, so it is a win.

DE is so knowledgeable. I'm glad the juice helped and it sounds like you had a better night. Watermelon does sound good. We will get some more on Thursday.

I'm sorry you weren't feeling well. I'm glad the pickle juice did the trick with your muscle cramps. We finally got some rain which was greatly appreciated. Have a good day.
