Health #AtoZChallenge

Naturally, after hopping into a challenge that has me writing everyday, my health acts up again!

No, not Covid. Hopefully nothing major at all! The last few days I've just been feeling run down, not sleeping well, sneezy, brain-foggy. 

I was out reading in my hammock, on this beautiful, perfect, Vietnamese spring day, but when the shade got too cool - oh, another symptom: hyperactive internal thermostat - I came inside to sit here and make a halfway attempt at an H post. (G is easier. A lot more g words to fill the body of the post.)

How do you combat your body's betrayal? I'm pretty good at reading the signs, and this could be the harbinger of a cold. HOWEVER... I have the ability to schedule my own time as I choose, and can therefore rest when these things happen, without waiting until things go too far.

Having a schedule that's my own, I haven't had a bad cold in the last few years. Because I can do exactly that: rest.

How many of us have heard that the best thing to do for a cold is rest? ALL of us! That's how many! And I, for one, have found that to be true. 

My apologies for this minimalist horror of a post, but I'm going to have another rest. Stay healthy everyone!

    1. I think it might be a mild depression trying to sneak in. Will take steps to cut it off at the pass.

  2. Take care. It's miserable to be sick, so if you can avoid it, cool.

    1. Trying to find balance in my life. Write, read, study, work... rest.

  3. Healthwise, I've been doing fairly well the past couple years. During A to Z my biggest concern is that my computer will get sick and die. It toys with me now and then, but it keeps coming back okay. Get me through this April at least please.

    1. Literally on Thursday I bought a new computer. The other one was becoming unresponsive. Only 4 years old, too.
      This one works better, but it's always hard to get used to a new work colleague!

  4. I still want my chest issues to go away. This congestion just won't stop.

I enjoy a good debate. Feel free to shake things up. Tell me I'm wrong. Ask me why I have such a weird opinion. ...or, just laugh and tell how this relates to you and your life.
