Today I woke up sick. I went to bed feeing great, having walked again for the first time in months and having started doing my stretching and exercising again. But I was cold all night and by morning I realized it wasn't the temperature outside it was that I had a fever and I could barely stand up.
What to do? Tea, water, Tylenol, repeat... and cancel all appointments. What was the good in this? Not much really, except that I realize I am starting to slow down after a super busy fall and that free floating virus, which has been knocking my students out, has finally caught up with me.
When I was little my father often recognized "mentally sick in the head" days as times when we just needed to be quiet and catch up with ourselves. My own body is forcing this on me. In those few moments when I was able to keep my head up I did some knitting and binged watched most of the second season of Stranger Things. Kind of perfect viewing when sick with a virus.
