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

On another note, just be glad you don't get sick often...I've befallen ill and have been for 2 months now.

Yeah.

Physical fitness and nutrition really do help with immune system function, usually. Just eat well (and plenty of that healthy stuff) and take walks. It'll help you feel better more quickly.

Re: Yeah.

It's not that. Stress has finally taken it's toll on me, heh...

I've had this sinus drainage for the last two weeks. Last week it curb stomped my voice for two days so I had to mute my way through 48 hours. Just one big collection of snot in the back of my throat that has me coughing constantly. I've had this going since I was old enough to remember and it's always just once a year. It knocks my dick in the dirt, but it's only once a year.

I know that smoking isn't the best medicine but I needs my nicotine. So far I've found that a steady rotation of Theraful at night and Sudafed PE during the day gets me back up and in the saddle.

Yeah.

I get it about that often too and it bothers me immensely because, well, I hate being out of work for even a day.

Indeed!

I hate being sick too, although after today I'm feeling 80% better. Hopefully I'll be all better in time for kung fu tomorrow, and remain well through to next week and beyond!

Seriously, it has been a while since I've been sick... hopefully it'll be a while until I'm sick again.
