If it will help

I ate some dried plums last night (prunes) to help with my bodily functions and trying to drink more water.  Switching to warm water because ice water still tastes yuck.  I am eating lots of apples and other fruit hoping that helps too.  I still am nursing a sore throat, gargle with salt water, and again warm water seems to help.  It is not getting worse or going away - just lingering.  I have been okay overall and just trying to stay even.  I am planning to do lots of outside work this weekend to prepare for winter and then don't worry about it later.  Put away humming bird feeders, clean up lawn furniture and store cushions.  Also, get out feeders for my winter birds and put out seed to start their feedings.  My head is driving me nuts being itchy and having hats on is irritating - every once in awhile I just take it off at work.  Several people have come in to talk and do well not staring and I act like nothing is going on.  Someday this will all be in the past - :-)
