Walked to Smith's to get cough drops, cough syrup, and ice cream. I have been sick more times in the last year than I have all other years combined. This is getting ridiculous and I am super annoyed. Is it because this is my first year working in a hospital type-setting or is it because I am a stress ball and not taking very good care of myself? Here's what I need to do:

1) Get more sun this winter and take Vitamin D supplement.

2) Drink an EmergenC every day if not twice a day.

3) Better manage stress i.e. yoga at least once a week, massage once a month, and learn to chill the freak out.

4) Eat more garlic!

5) Develop a hand washing compulsion.

What else can I do?!?

The next couple times you get sick, run yourself into the ground. Your body will think "aw snap, she's just gonna be stupid and do her thing even if she's sick and us killer T-cells get no break at all." Then your immune system will preemptively get stronger to prevent itself from having to deal with your crazy self. That's what I've done and honestly it seems to have worked for the most part.

I do all of the above Lulu and somehow I still end up sicker than a dog every year at least twice. I have this shadow named Laryngitis...

Scratch that, I don't eat garlic. I prefer to smell like a nice girl.
