Since Sunday I’ve been feeling increasingly sick. It started out with a scratchy throat, eventually progressing to a scratchy throat with congestion, then a scratchy throat, congestion, stomach issues, and overall aches. I thought it might just be allergies, and kept going on with my busy schedule, until today when I felt so bad I knew something else must be wrong.

After my test this afternoon, I realized I could allow myself to slow down from being so quick paced as I had been for the past week. So I went marketing and made myself some minestrone soup. After I decided to veg out and ended up sleeping from about 8 to midnight. I woke up, showered, and I can’t believe how much better I feel. I don’t feel perfect, but I feel so incredibly better.

It’s just astounding to me how much adequate sleep, good food, and just simple rest can make such a difference. I need to really make an effort to continue taking better care of myself.
