Stupid Optimism.

[vindonnus]

Why is it that I assume that because I so rarely get sick that I'll get better in a day or so when I am ill? I think it's just un-justified optimism. I can force myself to get up to go to the gym, but I can't force myself to go hack my lungs up (and spend 50% of my time blowing my nose) at the gym

Being overly active can be just on your body as being lazy with it. Over taxing your system with TOO much gym-time can easily weaken your immune system just enough to get you sick.

I'm not telling you to slack off on the gym in the least. Just trying to say, in my own twisted way, that maybe having a lazy day just resting around the house isn't a bad thing, y'know?

Take a day, or two or however long it takes, off and just try to enjoy yourself as you give your body time to fix itself! =^^=

High standards.

[vindonnus]

Yes, this is true, but I have very high standards for myself... and I suppose I'm attached to this invincible self-image where I never get sick and where I never get hurt because it IS very hard for me to get sick or injured.

I am, after all, in my prime and in good shape.

Also, e-mailed in sick today. That should absorb a good 8 hours of overtime for me, haha.

Well you just rest up and get better. You know the drill I'm sure... or maybe you don't, considering how rarely you get sick! Plenty of liquids, lots of rest, and stay warm :3

Heh, wait till you're 30+ and sick...that'll test your patience. ;)

[sire_icefeather]

Also, sick bunny/dragon, you better NOT be smoking while you are sick...

Sound advice.

[vindonnus]

I tend to not smoke while sick, yeah.

Re: Sound advice.

[sire_icefeather]

Well, you are smarter than my brother...

Addiction

[vindonnus]

Yeah, and I'm also not an addict. I have a number of friends who are addicted to various things and I do not want to be bound like they are to their substance of choice.

Heh.

[vindonnus]

Took a shower last night and have been lazing around since then... being sick and unproductive is annoying.

[jarrellwoods]

Didn't know! Get well soon, okay? Also, thanks again for your help. I just can't be there right now and glad you and Xeddy are. *hugs you better*

*Hugs ya back*

[vindonnus]

Thanks Mista Woods!

And I try to get better as quickly as I can every time... just hope it'll be really soon. I like doing what I do.

[vandringar]

I used to actually get better that quickly... not anymore.

And it sounds like you have the same thing I currently do.

I do... sometimes.

[vindonnus]

Yeah, well, I do sometimes get better that quickly... it just depends. This time it's dragging on though and it's annoying me immensely.
