strange sickness
This past week I have been sick… Or at least I was coughing and sneezing quite a bit, though oddly except for that I did not feel sick at all. Indeed, I felt like I had more energy than I had had in many weeks. It was a totally odd feeling and very dangerous.
You see though rationally I knew that if my body was combatting some form of virus I should be doing things to help it along like get more sleep, take medicine, and consume healthy foods and the likes. Only this past week I didn’t feel like doing any of that. Instead I stayed up until 2 to 4 AM most nights, waking up around 6:30, ate my normal diet and didn’t take any medicine at all. And I felt fine the entire time. Better than fine, I felt pretty good except for that damn annoying cough.
Then came friday evening, and it was a colder day than usual and the folly of my ways became clear. And since then I have been feeling quite miserable to the point that last night I could not stay up at all and yet annoyingly despite aspirin and cough syrup and cough drops I kept waking up in the middle of the night hacking and coughing and feeling considerably pain. And more annoyingly in the morning I felt so tired that I overslept and missed my appointment to get my car looked at. I never over sleep, sometimes I awake pretty close to the wire, but not really “over sleep”. This time I overslept by a full two hours.
Alas, so it goes I guess. I guess there’s nothing else for me to do but to stay at home and build a computer this weekend. I’ve been putting it off so this gives me an excuse.
