I made a big batch of soup. Yes it is August. Yes it is the
middle of a heat wave.
I have been sick. And not just sick, but
swollen lymph nodes, can’t breath, lose your voice, and want your momma kind of
sick. I am grateful that I do not live alone, because both roommates have been
awesome about checking up on me, and making sure I am okay. Even running me to
the store when I need medicine and things.
I have to say that being sick in stupid hot weather has sucked so bad. Even now, as I feel
a billion times better than I did at the height of this thing, I still am
fighting with annoying congestion, that I can't help but think is related to this crazy hot weather.
I really have no room to complain, I get sick very rarely.
I’m very lucky in that department. Of course it seems like on the rare occasion
when I do fall ill, it’s usually a doozie.
Needless to say I have been out of commission for a while.
But there are things we can learn when we get sick. It’s a good reminder of how
important it is to take care of oneself and how important rest is. I think it
was because I was not listening to my body that my immune system took a
dump.
It also makes you appreciate how wonderful it is when our
bodies are working at optimum capacity; it’s so easy to take for granted. It’s
a beautiful thing feeling good. This is something to appreciate.
