I have been trying to get enough sleep. I am dedicated to good nutrition and adquete rest in reciprocation for my body's cooperation. But in addition the race on Saturday-- in which I felt the effort was good, but rather moderate-- I feel like I have not 'caught up' since daylight savings. Also, everyone in my house has had strep--my son a reoccuring case (round 2). I am sick of bleaching counters, doornobs, lightswitches, water faucets and boiling toothbrushes, washing pillowcases, bedclothes. It's a lot of work -- on top of the worry they are going to die. Yes, you don't just get a cold at my house-- you get tuberculosis because in spite of being blessed with good health, I'm a hypochondriac and generally psychotic. It's always the early spring that's soo good for bronchitis-strep-flu-cold. I blame the abrupt change in weather. Although the snow melts, it's still cold and everyone is underdresses this time of year--thus stressing the immune systems via exposure making the body less resistent to bacteria and virus (at least that's what I think). No one wants to wear winter gear when it's sunny --even if it's only 37 degrees and windy. I'm just hoping I'm not next. My hands still smell like bleach, so I hope that helps keep the germs at bay for a few minutes. |
