Hydrating and Upbeat

Today, I walked two miles or so to the doctor’s office while dizzy, fevered, and congested.

I'm in there, somewhere

My boyfriend is also sick and lost his voice. We are hiding in separate rooms to ride out our mutual viral infections. A positive aspect is that I can listen to music and  submit lyrics online without upsetting his musical tastes or mine (I have no idea how that song even made its way onto my iTunes. I blame Amazon’s free MP3 downloads).

I drank almost a gallon of water and still feel parched, but realize it could be worse. What if I didn’t have any clean water available to drink? Best of all, it was cold and refreshing. I know this discomfort is temporary though I may feel out of sorts, light-headed, and unable to keep food down now. I am fortunate in being able to consult and receive professional medical care when needed too, and on a proactive, preventative basis if desired.

There is no room for misery in my little isolation room tonight. Time to sleep and rest up.

  1. I totally agree; water always hits the spot:)) Whenever I’m feeling sluggish, I drink a glass, or two, and I feel so much better. Great post and I look forward to sharing more with you:))

    • Thanks for stopping by; I followed your blog too and wish you well with your writing endeavors! I never want to take water for granted and agree that it’s been helping my body regain equilibrium.

  2. sorry. i’m trying to catch up with my favorite blogs. sorry to hear you and your SO got sick. hope you’re feeling much, much better now.

    • No apologies ever needed, Carlos. I hope you and your family are doing well given your backlog. We’re feeling better, but talk in between coughing fits now. The weekend will sort us out!
