Remember how just a few weeks ago I had what I called a ‘girl cold’?  Well, it seemed to hit me again last night.  I felt like I was hacking up a lung.  Poor Roy must not have gotten too much sleep…but I really, really didn’t get hardly any.  I woke up just before my alarm was meant to go off in a complete fit.  It felt really horrible.  So I called in sick…I didn’t want to do it as I had a lot to do today and I know now that I have to go to school this weekend to make up for it.  But I felt so horribly I had to do it.  I then went back to bed…and slept until 11:45am.  Clearly I was fighting something.

And now, though I feel a bit groggy still at 1pm, I don’t have the sensation that I’m going to cough.  The sleep was what I needed to really fight it off. 

At least I’m really starting to look after myself.  I’ve begun to eat in a much more healthy manner, with lots of veg and fruit, with smaller portions of the main course.  I’ve begun to workout.  Last night I went to the gym with a friend and she gave me my first squash lesson.  I had such a good time…it showed me how unfit I am, but I loved it.  And then we went climbing at the rock wall in the gym.  I really think I’m going to feel so much better if I can do this regularly!  And hopefully, sleep will be better so I don’t have to worry about getting sick again!
