My Yearly Cold!

Almost the same time every year I pick up a cold virus. I've come to realise that it's natures way of slowing me down a little.

Previous to this I have been running myself, both mentally and physically at a hundred miles-per-hour, and now I'm currently having to go at a ten mph pace, in the slow lane.

As an ex practitioner of complimentary medicine, I have often given other people such great advice about, taking time-out, relaxing more, taking life easy, that sort of stuff. Unfortunately like many other well-meaning therapists I don't somehow listen to my own advice, until you guessed it...something goes wrong.

Never mind I'm sitting here with the tissues nearby, feeling sorry for myself!

Man-Flu

After having several good days of feeling pretty good, yesterday I was hit by a heavy cold.

I was due to participate in a Kuk Sool Black Belt seminar, which I was really looking forward too, unfortunately due to the circumstances I was unable to attend.

When I awoke early on Sunday morning I had a thumping headache and high temperature. For the rest of the day I was just totally wiped-out and slept through most of it on the couch.

Today (Monday) I'm coughing and sneezing all over the place and my family will confirm that when I get a cold - stand clear as I've been known to sneeze at least eight-ten times in a row, enough to blow your socks off.

The good news is that the worst is generally over within a twenty-four hour period. So I'm now starting to feel a little better, hence me finding the energy and desire in writing this post.

Having the flu thankfully only happens to me once or twice a year, but of course like most men - you have to make the most of it and string it out as long as you can.

AHHH - CHOOOO!
