Sickness.

I know I haven't been posting that much lately, and I suppose that correlates with the fact that I haven't had a lot of hours in the gym or any life changing moments of epiphany or new recipes or anything.

Last week I felt terrible and after a trip to the Health Center, I found out I had/have strep. I'm on antibiotics right now to get better.

Then yesterday, my roommate came down with an awful case of the flu, and I've been taking care of her. After 2.5 hours in the Health Center this morning, I've literally been chugging Emergen-C. My hands are already dried out from so much handwashing, and I think I'm investing in some of those face mask thingys.

Honestly ya'll, you can't be too careful. Just having a minor case of strep has put me out of the gym for a week. Fortunately, I've gotten a lot done school-wise, including writing a 16 page paper. Woo.

Be safe and healthy, everybody! Cold and flu season is in full effect.

P.S. I would like to announce I successfully avoided eating any candy in October, even on Halloween! (Granted, I had froyo twice and some 70% cocoa organic dark chocolate. At least I avoided the mainstream really bad for you stuff!)

I'm proud of you for taking antibiotics though, and getting better! Don't underestimate the power of masky things. Do it. Hold up a sign that says, "My roommate has two strains of the flu." People will understand.
