Post apocalyptic Fun! Feminine Nervous Complaints

Sooooo, over the years I have happily-nay obsessively and enthusiastically collected home remedies, diy projects and survival tips and techniques that can help you survive any apocalyptic situation like a cockroach.
Going through some of the more "flavorful" home remedies I decided to start posting them for fun. I have gotten most of them from old books (the 1970s) and early homesteader manuals as well as the beloved Foxfire series.

This first one is a nice little recipe for "feminine Nervous Complaints"

1 cup hot milk
1 cup good white wine
powdered sugar

add wine and milk together, then stir in powdered sugar to taste. Sip slowly while lying down.

I wonder if Lydia Pinkham came up with that one....

Enjoy ladies!

well, that was sweet

I had a bad xmas. on the same day i had to put my beloved cat (whom i had 13 years) down and an hour later my father passed away from lung cancer.
I am hoping that is the only time something like that will happen.
Anyhoo, My vet who was awesome to come to the office to see Zen despite the holiday sent a donation to the arbor day foundation in his name so he can have a small memorial in shasta trinity national forest.
HOW AWESOME IS THAT??
That there is a vet who understands the bond of pets and their people.
