I’m sick again, and honestly, I feel sick and tired of being sick and tired

I think being on the road for the last month and being around lots of other sick people are to blame. I am also a bit of a workaholic, and when deadlines and overwhelming commitments loom (as they tend to do during the holidays) I put my health last.  I struggle to keep a regular diet and get regular sleep and exercise. I must be more diligent about it, starting now.

The biggest bummer (for me) is that someone I have been seeing for the last couple of months and I have repeatedly made plans to go on a weekend away…there are so many things we enjoy doing together…but then I have gotten sick, or the holiday schedule has gotten in the way. This weekend is another example…despite plans we made to spend the weekend together having fun, I am instead home sick clutching a box of tissues and my “favorite” cold medicine. So *not* romantic. I am convinced, though, that he sees these little “setbacks” as opportunities to prove his affection, since he has quite enthusiastically expressed his delight in spending the weekend taking care of me, instead (A little secret: I think he kind of likes it when I don’t feel well because then he gets the chance to pamper me a bit and be the hero, and a girl like me appreciates when someone *else* swoops in to save the day every now and again ).

I am off to the store to find vitamins and other healthy stuff. I am going to kick this cold’s butt!
