sickness in july
sickness in july ≠ christmas in july.
being sick in the summer is probably one of the worst things. the combination of feeling awful and not being able to curl up in a bunch of blankets because of the heat is just plain uncomfortable. all the traditional remedies– hot tea, hot soup, comfy blankets and sweaters– don’t really translate as well into the warmer months. the tea is okay unless its 104 degrees like it was last week (thankfully i am sick this week!). i am glad i only have a cold. i took my day off to lie in bed all day and rest and i think i was able to fight off most of it. but today i have to suffer through the head congestion part of the cold. :/ meh. it’s like bad allergies.
hey but i am thankful for an excuse to take a break and spend some time on my couch. at the rate i have been going lately, it’s not really surprising that i have gotten a touch of something. i am going to just settle into it and be lazy for the weekend. i’ve got another beach day lined up tomorrow for after work (yay! making good on my promise in my last post), so i am going to try to get most of my homework done this afternoon and tonight so i can really relax tomorrow and take a nap in the sun! mmmm it’s going to be so nice! hopefully i can kick the last bit of this cold and spend the rest of my summer sickness-free!
