Things I’ve noticed about being sick


I haven’t been sick for a long time (not counting that food poisoning incident earlier this year) so I forgot a lot of the lovely things about being sick, namely:

  1. Food has either no taste or bad taste. My favourite frozen mango pieces? Taste awful. Chocolate? Tastes awful.
  2. I have no appetite – not sure if this is good or bad 😛
  3. My body aches all over – ribs hurt when I breathe, legs hurt when I walk. And I can’t even blame this on working out and feel good about it!
  4. Duvets are either way to heavy or way too light. There’s no getting perfectly toasty in bed.
  5. Sometimes sleeping on the bathroom floor is the best thing.
  6. Living alone when you’re sick really sucks. This is prime time for parents and mine are on the other side of the world 😦

Okay, enough sad sacking it for me. I probably should eat something since it’s been a while and drink more water. Maybe stop working and get some rest too.

Bah – and here I was all getting into the rhythm with running!
