They Shoot Horses Don’t They

The reason for this heading is that I feel like an old horse ready for the glue factory. What has happened? Well, I have not been sick or even caught a virus in such a long time that I don’t even remember when I was last sick. However, I do know that it was at some time while I lived in Latvia. First of all I recognized my old symptoms of a head cold, my friendly sinuses acting up, and my head feeling like there are rocks in it and achy due to pain in the sinus pressure points. Now I have to say ay, ay, yai. It is the first time something like this along with a small fever around 100 has hit me in ages and the only time when I have been completely alone. Suddenly I am crying like an idiot and feeling sorry for myself and then reminding myself I should be grateful that a head cold and a virus is all I have and a small fever when there are people who are really sick. I have asked the Lord to forgive me and told Him I would not complain. In the meantime, I am hoping to get rid of this by the end of the week. I also realized that as a writer making an income online I do not have the possibility of just stopping writing until I feel better. So I am doing things in spurts. I had some content work to do and I managed to do a 1000 word article during the day and sent it saying the other article will get done tomorrow. I have sites to check on which I will begin looking at tomorrow and of course, I had to check in with all of you. How do I manage? Well, the good thing is that my apartment is small and it does not take me long to walk from one room to the other where my bed is. So I sit up and I write until I just have to lay down. Then I go and I lay down and do some reading or just relax for about an hour and then get up and return to the PC. It is the best way I can continue with my work otherwise I would not be able to catch up if I let it go for the whole week. I do remember fondly when my mom was alive and how good it was to be taken care of and have someone by me. Unfortunately, we cannot have everything we want in life and time moves on. So I will be online as long as I can and if I am commenting on one of your posts and disappear on another then I have had to go lay down again. SIGH It is a small illness but it just seems worse to me because I have been blessed and not had any illness in so long. In fact, I have so much time now when I lay down to rest to think things out and I realized that just like when I moved to Latvia for the first couple of years every cold, illness, sore throat zapped me because I wasn’t used to the weather of northern Europe. Now I have been in Florida for over a year but it is not the state I was born and raised in so naturally the weather running hot and cold and rainy has zapped me. Sorry if anyone is wondering I am not being a good girl though. I am trying to rest and take care of myself and do eat a little something but when I watch some episodes of Ally McBeal right before bed I do drink a glass of red wine because I am used to doing that and it calms me and makes me sleepy. How are you all feeling?
