For the second time in about a month, I’ve caught whatever bug is going around and have been out of commission for a few days, so there’s not much
interesting to report on my end (although my Animal Crossing town is THRIVING).
Like a lot of people, being sick comes with the added stress of falling behind with various work projects and other commitments. It never comes at a convenient time when you’re not busy either. It’s always when you’ve got a stack of to-dos that need finishing and plans on your calendar that you’re suddenly
forced to shut everything down and lie in bed for a few days, watching 30 Rock and mainlining Gatorade.
I’ve started to reframe it for myself as the universe’s way of telling me that I needed to take a break and regroup for a few days. I’ve been beyond burned out lately, so I’d be lying if I said a part of me wasn’t incredibly thankful for a reason to do nothing for a bit. Although in a perfect world, it would be nice to get to take a break from everything without having to come down with the flu first, but that’s a discussion for another day. Until then, it’s back to hydrating and napping for me!
