Sick post for 3/3/15

[Author’s note:  Hopefully this will be the only sick post I ever write but then again you never know.  So I’m adding a date to the title.]

I’m coming down with some bug that’s going round town and I didn’t honestly want to write anything today but I figure I might as well use the opportunity to reflect on how all your plans and everything you want to do gets thrown out of whack by such a simple thing.

Just think about it.  A flu, a cold, whatever you want to call it.  Microscopic things like bacteria or viruses can lay you low and affect your work, your social life, and can make you put plans on hold or even cancel them.

A rise in of 2 degrees in your body temperature can make you feel miserable and a sore throat?  Sore throats are the worst!  Can’t even concentrate when I have those.

No, that’s the worst part.  When you’re sick you can’t concentrate.  To me that’s worse than all the aches and pains and anything else that an illness brings on.  Your body screams for attention and you can’t think of anything else and you know that you’re falling behind in so many other aspects of your life.  Just misery heaped on top of misery.

Why is it that we can’t figure a way out of this?  Just send out those affected parts for repairs and work with a loaner.

But that’s the way life is.  The littlest of details can mean the difference between success and failure so that’s why we have to look to the little things and make sure that we take care of these things before they escalate into major illnesses or problems.

So anyways.  Short post.  Hopefully my next one will be a full post.
