i'm healing and feeling better. this sickness has been a fast moving one. i'm going to attribute it's speed to my new sick habits (that sounds wrong). what i'm trying to say is that i've treated this sickness differently than most. my tendency has been to just sleep and sleep and sleep when i'm not feeling well. i usually don't eat much and don't take any medications. upon the nudging of a good friend, i decided to go about battling this bug in a different fashion. i kept on eating (mostly soup) even though i didn't feel like it. i took meds to help ease my whole body ache and sinus pain. i think my body appreciated the nutrition to help it fight off the bad. also, usually i just keep my regular schedule up and this time i canceled all of my evening obligations for the week and even stayed home from school for two days to get more rest.
what have i learned? i'm not stronger than my sickness. pretending i'm not sick, doesn't make it so. allowing myself the time to recuperate makes a difference. my body needs food to keep it going. it's good to take care of myself. it's okay to accept help from friends. yes, i'm human and no, i'm not invincible (- i'm well aware of the fact that you know this, it's good for me to know it too). here's to hot tea, cough drops, and lots and lots of o.j.! :)

I'm glad you're feeling better! Sounds like you're doing the right things. If you're feeling up for it, do you maybe want to try for some tea or coffee at Starry Nites tomorrow (Sunday)?
