One would not think that a person could aggressively take care of their health, but I would say my current and future plans for the weekend (as it is Saturday at time of writing this), this is as close as one could get.
I currently, as I had indicated in my last post, have a cold. The kind where one of the symptoms is constantly feeling like you’re trying to cough up your lungs. This is not great, primarily because coughing, sneezing and sniffling is how you pass that cold onto others. As I work two days a week in an office the size of a bedroom, I would like to not get my co-workers sick.
That being said, if I have to use one of my sick incidences on the fucking common cold I will be very unhappy.
As a result, despite the fact I have been fighting since March to get my exercising time back up to 20 minutes while balancing the new working routine change, drastic action has to be taken.
This meant that I cleared the majority of my scheduling down to meals and pet care tasks. Every meal and snack included two tea caddies full of water, which means finishing the previous water that was in those caddies. And I had to eat, even if I wasn’t really that hungry.
Finally, even if I didn’t really want to, I had to kick my ass back into bed for naps. I was allowed to play video games or watch videos between naps, but I had to nap. My bed was even unmade for most of the day, at least until the cat decided she wanted to sleep inside my bed.
Since then, my cold has evolved to include a stuffy nose, but I’m coughing a bit less, for the most part anyways.
Hopefully, it’ll resolve itself by Sunday, but if not… well… I will have to give in and just take that sick day. No point in drawing out this cold any further than necessary.
