I was talking to someone yesterday about Charlotte Sometimes and the whole kids book genre of "modern day kid time travels to historical time period and then time travels back conveniently before the kid-she's-traveling-into dies horribly" and I remembered that there was an American Revolutionary War one of these, too, that I'd completely forgotten about.

All I remember is the protagonist is a girl, and there's a bit about taking the bread to the bakery to be baked at the bakery. And I think it had a newspaper bit at the beginning for the girl to check what date it was. And I think it may have actually been set befor the Revolutionary War, but I'm not 100% on that. And I think she doesn't possess another kid; she comes back with her own body, and it's just the kid who helps her and takes her in who then dies.

Anyone know what this one might have been?

For reasons not worth ever really delving into, ever, I tend to forget about the existence of over-the-counter medicine to treat symptoms. Leading to the many occassions of me saying "I don't have to put up with this! I'm rich!" and then taking pepto-bismal.

Today I remembered about the existence of cough drops.

I am here to report that Ludens wild cherry cough drops taste exactly the same as they did the last time I took them, whoever knows how long ago it was. I do know why I stopped buyihng them: because I ate too many and got stomach ache from it. But oh wow, these didn't change at all. The packaging sure looks different, though. I suppose that's to be expected.
