8. …getting sick (a cold, flu, etc.)

Well, not to be a stereotypical man, but I sleep a lot when I get sick. Sleep is the body's way of repairing itself. Not only does your brain work to transfer all of your short-term memories into long-term storage, but it also works on fixing things around your body.

So when I get sick, I let my body do its job. I try not to milk it too much, though. I'd get really behind on stuff at the school during flu season. School kid crud. Yuck!

Despite the fact that I often tell @wereah to take her temperature when she’s not feeling well, I tend to not do the same for myself unless I suspect something particularly serious. This is because I don’t get fevers that easily and when I do get fevers, it’s often the result of the chills that cause me to purposely raise my body temperature so I’m less cold.

And by the time it gets to that point, well I’m already uncomfortable and reaching for a fever reducer. 

I say this because last night I tried to suffocate myself under my covers in an attempt to warm up. Don’t know why, even now the fever hasn’t quite broken but minus the chills that make my muscles ache and the mild headache, I’m fine.

I’ve actually had to run a mental checklist on myself, and there are literally no other symptoms. This also means there’s nothing else I can do about it, but wait it out because… no other symptoms. Not sure where I caught it from, but I did go out yesterday to pick up packages and the dentist, so I probably caught something out in the world. 

Welp, I'm very sick at the moment so Imma rest until I'm able to focus on drawing again. ;-;
