I guess the stress has caught up to me. Buying a house, selling a house, getting a house ready to sell. Covering two other desks at work. Worrying about my son moving to CO by himself. Just stressed. This morning, I still have this lower intestinal tract bug, though it’s better, and now I have a sore throat and a headache. My son has had a head cold, I probably got it from him. UGH.
In addition, I keep thinking I need to tell my boss what is going on with me, which is a big stressor. He hired someone to replace my friend who retired a couple months ago, but this person is too irresponsible for this job. She is a really nice person, but she misses way too much work. For legitimate reasons usually, but if you miss a day or two of work every couple weeks, it’s just not a good fit. Her desk needs someone there. When she’s not I have to cover it, I get behind. Anyway, if he’s going to replace her, which I’m pretty sure he is, he needs to do it soon, so I can train the replacement, before I have to train my own replacement. No one else knows how to do the job, so it would be up to me to do the training on both that job and my job. I don’t want to be trying to do them both at the same time if my house sells.
More stress.
So, I took my probiotics for my stomach. I took a bunch of immune things he got from his job for the headache sore throat, and I took some zinc, which usually seems to work for me.
I have an appointment for my hair tonight after work. That should make me feel better. 🙂
I don’t want to get really sick. My bff is having a bonfire at her house Saturday night, and lots of my best friends, and I want to go, I don’t want to be sick. She is known for throwing great parties, and this is kind of spur of the moment. She sent out a group text inviting people, there were 22 responses in about 20 minutes. So my goal today is to head this cold off at the pass.
I always read before I go to sleep. It calms my mind. I read until I can’t keep my eyes open. I usually have at least two books going, one fiction, one non-fiction. Last night I was reading the fiction book, which I bought off of Bookbub for 99 cents. It looked pretty good, but it seems a little dark for where I am lately. So I scanned through my kindle and I have a book I just bought, by Marianne Williamson, The Gift of Change. I bought it a while ago, and forgot I’d bought it. I started it last night, and it was perfect. Continuing lessons from A Course in Miracles. She is brilliant. With all the change happening in my life, it is the perfect book. I know it will help me to make the changes I am making more easily, and remain true to myself. She, and Brene Brown, and Elizabeth Gilbert are my favorite authors, speakers, thinkers. They just totally get it.
Need to get ready for work. And raise my vibration a little, to manifest my health back into shape.
Love and light all.

hope you feel better soon my friends, and yes, stress does make us more prone to getting sick,sucks, just when we need it the least!!! I will email you later today, we have a lot of catching up to do! I want to hear all about what is going on with you. I aren’t been on line much Talley, still writing every day just not posting, kind of taking a break from, well, everything…. love and light to you. M.
Keep a bottle of Zinc and Vitamin C in your medicine cabinet at all times. When you start feeling the least bit “not right” start popping them. Zinc is an active ingredient in most common ailment drugs and we all know about vitamin C.
I keep them and if I have a little sore throat or have been around somebody who is sick, I take a Zinc and a vitamin C. You can take them several times a day but they really do the trick. Now….it will help but won’t be as effective if you wait until you are full blown sick.
Rest up and this will all be in the past…once you have hit sunny Florida! 🙂
Normally that’s what I do exactly that. But because of the stomach bug I was afraid to take anything too acidic like vitamin C and even zinc can upset my stomach at times. So I just took the probiotics and went to bed. Oh well I took everything this morning that I needed to take for this. I’ll get better quick. Thanks so much. We think alike. 😊
Sorry that you are stressed/sick!
I hope you feel better soon! I always eat a small piece of rawa garlic when I start to get sick. It seems to kill the bacteria/virus. Works every time for me. Hugs
Well I ate olives stuffed with garlic last weekend! Does that count? Lol.
Hmmmm… not sure! It may be that that was too long ago! It has to be the same time as your cold is in your body doing its nasty stuff to you! In comes the garlic and fights the cold like a true champion! BUT it has to be raw garlic. Break off just one small piece, peel and eat. Plus c-vitamin ofc, but you already know that. 🙂
Last night my stomach thing was so much better after a few days if pro biotics. So this morning I took all the cold stuff, and the pro biotics. Well the cold stuff totally aggravate the stomach issues. So not gonna take anything for the cold again and just deal with the stomach. It apparently doesn’t like zinc, vit c, airborne, and immune complexes. Came back with a vengeance. Oh well. Onward, as they say lol.
