my mother is very good at brewing up some concoction of a chinese herbal magic potion that tastes bad, but supposedly helps me get better. here's how it works.

you drink it.
your brain processes that it tastes like crap.
your body learns to never get sick again in fear of having to drink that again.

its sorta like that shock therapy where you shock somebody everytime they do something wrong. i think i'm gonna take this process one step further. for every day that i'm NOT sick, i'm gonna give myself a tim hortins donut/muffin/danish/cookie

on a side note, if you're a fan of ice blended drinks, such as a starbucks frappucino or a timmies ice cap, then may i refer you to second cup every wednesday, where their chillates are now two bucks. just, dont make the mistake of getting vanilla bean flavor, which kinda tastes like the vanilla's been (ha) sitting in the store for too long.
