Dang I hate being sick, I’ve managed to not get sick for almost two years, I’ve had little scratchy throat here and there a couple of times, but not a full out, full blown sick. Well that all changed this week I’ve basically been in bed since Monday, it did go to work on Thursday, only because I have pretty much had no choice, I had one day’s worth of work to do and all my stores, had to get done this week, so I got up washed my face, put up a big girl britches and went to work. It just about kicked my butt, but I’m glad I got it done, I’m sure the companies I work for also glad I got it done.
I’m also glad it was this week, and not happening anytime in the near future, the kind of work I do, I’m about to get real busy, it’s reset season. This is actually my slowest week, something I normally wouldn’t enjoy, but this week I’m eternally grateful.
So what do I attribute to my extended health for almost 2 years? Well I started doing a thing called intermittent fasting almost 2 years ago now, unless you’ve been living under a rock I’m sure you’ve heard of it, I basically eat once a day, I don’t restrict what I eat or how much I eat, one can only eat so much in one setting so there’s pretty much no way I can over eat, I just restrict the time that I eat.
I won’t go into any detail right now about intermittent fasting it’s easy enough to look up, I suggest looking up Gin Stephens, I like her method.
Anyhoo, all week has been me basically in bed, not doing much, PB has been hiding, he does not want to get sick and I don’t blame him. Fortunately the weather’s been pretty mild, PB is pretty typically in charge of building fires to keep us warm, only been one night that it’s gotten really cold down into the 20s… and I have really good sleeping gear, my favorite part of it, is a king size 100% down comforter, I have it folded in half on my bed and I use it kind of like a sleeping bag, it can get cold in this room like down in the 20’s and 30’s on the inside, and I’m still toasty warm inside this down burrito. Right now it’s 54 degrees inside the room, no fire in the wood stove, I just don’t need it.
I try to hide out when I get sick, I know are animals do that too, I just don’t know why people do it, but I do it, a few people around me are starting to find out that I’ve been sick, very sweet friend and neighbor found out I was sick today and message me to ask me if I wanted some homemade chicken noodle soup. I happen to know this lady is a really good cook, and anything that she would bring over would be very tasty, and yet my knee-jerk reaction was to say no thank you I’m fine. I even started writing that in the message, and then deleted most of it before I sent it, I graciously accepted her offer, besides the fact that I know it’s going to be really good, I also know how good it is to give and receive hospitality and kindness, and I need to get better at the receiving part, LOL.
So the few people who do know that I’m sick, very first question that they have for me, is what is it? They want to know if it’s the thing that’s all in the news, and I don’t believe it is, whatever this is it’s been very mild, mostly scratchy throat, I’ve had a fever a couple of times that I felt, and a whole lot of being tired. In the past I’ve gotten sick oh maybe once or twice a year, and it almost always has to do with coughing sore throat that kind of thing, are pretty typically get over it pretty fast, I guess this is just making up for me not being sick for a couple of years. If you do wish to comment about this, please do not use the “C” word, it’s not what I have, and I don’t want that word floating around on this blog, thank you.
So I hope everybody’s January has been going well, I know I have some people still reading this, leave me a comment say hi, let me know how everything’s doing. Thanks for reading!
