Current mood:  recumbent Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes
I'm one of those extremely annoying people who never gets sick (unless it requires an "ectomy" -- I get those kind of ailments every now and again) and I even have the cajones to brag about it to others. "I never get sick! It's because I don't eat meat. Meat has all those nasty preservatives and hormones!" In fact I was brazenly making that statement just last week. I also expounded that I've never had a ticket -- "even a parking ticket!", and was instructed to knock on wood, but I just laughed and shrugged.
Well, after getting roughly 18 hours of sleep in a 6 day period last week, and spending considerable time in places with multitudes of, and myriad germs (public restrooms, concert venue and the worst offender -- several incubatorplanes) I awoke yesterday with a scratchy, sore throat. I shrugged it off and assumed it was just a little allergy problem. By 10 pm when it was only getting worse and I could see my swollen glands in the mirror, I figured it was just a little cold and I'd kick it's ass in no time. I don't think that's going to happen. Besides the running nose, constant sneezing, watering eyes and fever, my head is pounding and my stomach is upset. Wtf? How do you mere mortals (without my superhuman immune system) stand to get a couple of these a year?!
;)
I think I'll be very careful where I park for the next little bit. Knock on wood.
