Three for three
Tuesday, 26 May 2009 14:36For the third week in a row I am sick.
Two weeks ago I came down with something that took all my energy and strength, so I slept more than I normally do and felt better after a couple of days.
Last week I ate something that caused me serious stomach distress. I was unable to eat non-simple foods without consequence for days as my digestive tract recovered.
Now that I'm able to eat real food in small quantities I have caught yet another bug, this one giving me an uncomfortable fever, headache, and weakness. I also have a "glass throat" thing going on, and my nose is running a little bit.
Who am I? Job? Sheesh!
I am hoping this is the last of it, and whatever it is that is the root of all these illnesses resolves itself. It was such a beautiful weekend I couldn't stay indoors, but I was in no shape to do a lot of socializing. We attended a game night BBQ on Friday and a gathering with Ken's friends on Sunday, but that was all I could really take. I was exhausted most of the time and worried that my stomach wouldn't be able to handle the variety offered. I keep forgetting I'm not the norm when it comes to certain foods.
For the next three days I am going to lay low, keep quiet, and hope I can get back to a calm place where I can get some things done here at home. I panic way too easily these days. Quiet and peace are the only way I can prepare myself for the next wave of activity.
