Since late November, I’ve already been having what I termed “Holiday Sickness”, which usually means intermittent bouts of cold, cough, and wheezing (which sometimes reminds me of how my cat must feel like whenever he chokes on his own furball…only that I don’t choke and, of course, I don’t accumulate furballs in my throat). In my experience, it lasts until late January or February.
But then, of course, “Holiday Sickness” is not the right medical term for it. I suspect it’s just an allergic reaction to some allergens common during the cooler months which is from December to February.
It resolves with the usual antihistamines but sometimes, the wheezing can be quite bothersome, even if it just spontaneously resolves.
But what I find more bothersome is that I get more easily distracted lately. One day, I can come up with loads of blog post ideas and then, when I’ve finally decided to write them down, the thoughts disappear. Poof! Gone. And when I try to bend my mind this way and that, I still won’t be able to recover the lost thoughts until maybe a day or two when the thoughts will be back inside my head again. And then, when I try to write it down, it will be gone again. And the cycle goes on.
So, how do I get myself out of this?
Sleep.
The body needs to slow down and heal itself and the mind is better receptive when it’s well-rested.
Good night.
