chest cold update and aphids query

[devohoneybee]

Doc gave me a nebulizer treatment in the office, an albuterol inhaler, and a prescription for a better chest congestion clearer outer that the pharmacy will have in tomorrow. The pharmacy guy felt so bad they didn't have it today, he gave me a $25 gift card for the CVS store. I'm taking one more day home as I'm a bit feverish and achy and coughing rather noisily, especially when I have to talk.

But the treatment and albuterol are already helping, so I'm hopeful this will clear up in the next few days.

On another note, anyone know a good way to get rid of aphids on rose bushes? Preferably not too chemically?

Oh, and, praying mantises eat aphids, if you can find a way to import any.

Er, I think I meant ladybugs. Not sure about the mantises. Sorry. I know we used to be pleased to find ladybugs on the roses because they kept the aphids down.
