So my kid and I somehow got infected with a viral flu. As I'm writing this, it's the 3rd day of the infection.
It's funny because I feel like I've rested more than the vacation days during December. It's probably because I spent the first 2 days just sleeping, eating, cook a bit, minor laundry, and then sleep again. So yeah, I've slept more than I had in these past months and it feels great although I'm not fully recovered yet, and my body is yearning for more sleep.
They say 43 is just a number, but it's a number you can actually feel especially during recovery from sickness. You recover more slowly and the body pain is becoming more intolerable unlike when you were young. I really hate the muscle pain and the occasional sharp pains I experience.
During idle time as I lay down on my bed just reflecting, I get to think about the life choices I had such as should I have had done this or done that. It's funny that I never thought about money specifically, but I thought that I'm lucky to have a house to keep me warm tonight; will my children be okay if I pass away, and so on. It's like my mind is telling me to appreciate what I currently have and, yet, be prepared if this happens again or something worse happens to me.
The minor headaches are starting to shoot up again. I'll rest for now. Stay safe, guys, and always take care of yourself.
