Sick.

I've been sick for only 3 days...and they've been the longest 3 days of this year.  It started with a really sore throat, dizziness, and lymph nodes so swollen I was acutely aware of how they hated me.  It then became a full-on attack from my sinus cavities, attempting to see which side could get more gloomy and agitated.  I've slept 23 hours in the last 2 days, thanks to my SWEET medicine that only cost $4, but every day I wake up feeling foggy and sluggish.  Not the best way to wake up, but at least I have been able to sleep through most of the fevers.  I've also been SUPER faithful to my neti pot, a kriya I swear by. My dear friend Megan brought me Wellness Tea with echinacea last night, and it both warmed my throat and my soul. 

I'm hoping to nip this sickness in the bud in the next day or two.  In the past when I have been sick, it's lasted months.  I don't often get sick, but when I do it's terrible.  I haven't practiced many healthy lifestyle behaviors in my past, so I'm hoping that with all my new-found wellness techniques I can take care of this sickness much quicker than in the past.  Not only because sickness, in general, sucks, but because my Ayurvedic fall detox begins next Monday and I'd like to be healthy while I practice this.  Further, I've been teaching my best friend how to ballroom dance so she can go out with me on weekends.  I know how very much she's been looking forward to going dancing, and I know how much I enjoy it myself, so I really need to be feeling great soon so we can go.

Here's to health and happiness!
