Surrender to Stress
Last Wednesday I woke up with a sore throat and fever.
Out of nowhere! No symptoms beforehand!
And just like that, the flu and cold hit me like a thousand bricks in less than an hour.
I made my concoctions of fresh ginger tea, gargled with salt water, took vitamin C and zinc trying to beat the inevitable, as I definitely didn't have the pleasure of being sick.
I had two doctor appointments last week to make. They were not for me, obviously! I ended up handing over my mom's appointment, which was scheduled for the next day to my brother as the pain and ache came on by afternoon.
Try as I might, the flu and cold took over, and I became a couch potato! I drifted in and out of my feverish and chilly body temperatures!
I only seemed to summon up enough energy to pick up my child from school, went to the bathroom, and found some Campbell chicken soup to eat.
Natural remedies didn't work; vitamin and supplement didn't take effect; so I drowned myself with cold and flu over the counter drugs knowing for sure that soon my face would break out.
It happened as it had to be!
I am now riding out this lingering sickness, which brought on by stress, so I surrendered to stress and sleep whenever I could!
