Well, hanging around all the sickies in this city, in temperatures that swing from middle 50's to low 30's daily, in dry-head causing fake indoor heat... I guess it was inevitable. I woke up today with a scratchy throat, sniffly nose and body aches.

Luckily, through a series of occurences, my work emergencies were delayed this week, my social life for the next few nights is slim, and tonight was my grocery shopping night. Much orange juice, echinacea, cough drops and soup was purchased. Much low-energy activities (hello reading), self-care and sleep will ensue.

I'm disappointed. I wasn't ready for an energy dip at a time when my energy felt very high and vibrant. Tonight was the beginning of my exercise regime. But I'm going to let it do what it wants and focus only on allowing it to leave as soon as possible, surrounded of course by the need to continue working. Perhaps it's a good lead-up and last rest stop before February. Surely by Friday I'll be well again.

Bundle up, yo. Keep your fine selves warm.
