Lying Low


MichelleLea

1,103 views

I've been sick this past couple of days--since Monday actually. Our training room at work has an ac vent that blows right down your neck, and I didn't have a jacket to ward off the chill. Funny to move from Minnesota to Florida to get out of the cold, only to freeze in air conditioning. Not sure that was the cause. Anyway, it started as a nasty cold Monday afternoon. I should have stayed home on Tuesday, but we have a new recruit that I was scheduled to train, so I did spend a couple hour with her. She even felt sorry for me and bought me some deli chicken soup to take home. The soup was good by no cure. I think it's flu since I have achy bones and am running a `100-degree temp. I've read several times what the difference is, but I don't remember. I did get my flu shot, but they are not 100% effective. 

Note: I began this on Thursday and my computer decided to do its own thing, so I'm back again on Friday. For some reason, I didn't lose what I had written. Anyway, after sleeping my way through most of the week, I am back at it again. I'm not totally out of the woods, but I definitely feel better--more myself. Maybe Emma was right in that I needed a break, and I was going to get one whether I wanted to or not. Fortunately, my week was light. I did some follow-up today, and should,  be ready for next week. I am reading John Connolly's Every Dead Thing. I've read it before a long time ago. It's a somewhat grim tale but well-written. It's good to be reading fiction again. I like to keep up on the news, but most of it is so depressing. Hopefully, this country can be saved. My opinion.

Dear MichelleLea,

Am sorry you got a bad cold, but colds and flus are going around.  Got sick Sunday, June 3, in the evening and I am just starting to move again.

Lived in Florida (Tampa Bay - Clearwater, St. Petersburg and Tampa - Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties) for 35 years, and despite the beautiful weather, I got my share of colds and flus!  A lot of it has to do with HUMIDITY and ICE COLD air conditioning.  

A lot of people move from their cars (air conditioned, usually), into the heat, and, say, run into ice cold air conditioning, such as the mall or work, and get a chill.  

Even up here in New York, as I find myself popping in and out of malls, stores and restaurants with friends, I seem to perspire and get body odor.  

One thing I try to do is bring a light jacket or sweater with me, to prevent chills from A/C.

Hope you are feeling well, soon.

Your friend,

Monica
