This is
when it starts. Actually, it probably started a couple of weeks ago, but I
didn’t get around to writing this until now. The flus and colds are flying hot
and heavy, and I work in an environment prone to exposure.
Last year I
felt fine, then woke up on Christmas day sick as the proverbial dog. I could
barely focus, barely eat, and don’t remember much of the day. There was a lot
of sleeping involved. Actually, I don’t remember much until a week into
January.
This year
I’m making sure to up my vitamin intake and limit exposure to students as much
as possible. Oh, and to avoid stress. A compromised immune system from stress can
be devastating.
