Hello, and very soon, goodbye!

To the last page of the chapter of March. I was just about to finish writing my 2nd article for work when I suddenly got hit by a cold. Which would be nothing out of the ordinary for most people except for the fact that I NEVER get a cold.

Well, perhaps only 2 or 3 times in the last several years. I put a lot of this down to the fact that I always try to rest when I need to. And also that I grew up playing outside all the time, in the dirt, putting raw soil-covered potatoes from our vegetable patch in my mouth as a child.

This was all very good training for my immune system. Although, a lot of parents these days are hyper obsessed with hygiene and the elimination of all bacteria from a child’s play space. Unfortunately, that is a bad long term strategy for the child’s immune system, which needs to grow stronger through repeated exposure to pathogens. Of course, at an appropriate level.

Anyway, because of my strong immune system, I found it quite odd (and very ironic) to receive the unwanted gift of a cold at the busiest time of the month.

Alas, such is LIFE. Can’t have an amazing, energetic day every day can you?!

Wish I could. How unfair.

But catching a cold could also be a good thing sometimes.

Maybe its God’s way of telling me to slow down. Stop trying to juggle several things at once when you can barely even juggle one ball consistently.

Harsh.

Anyway, probably time for a nap. Oyasumi.
