It’s about that time of year when everyone in the city is getting ill. My flatmate is coming down with a cold, my boss is sick, everyone at work has the sniffles and worst of all, today I had to interview a guy with what sounded like the chest infection of doom. I’m pretty sure it’s my turn next – a belief supported by the fact that I am definitely not getting enough sleep and public transportation seems to be better than a nutrient-rich petri dish for growing bacteria. Thank goodness it’s the weekend and I can stock up on sleep, soup and sanity.
Generally when I feel myself getting sick, I just try to eat a lot of fruits and veggies (right, so, need to go shopping for said healthy things tomorrow), sleep a lot (already failing… it’s late and I need to get to bed!) and not think about stressful things. This weekend I’m going to take a day trip to Windsor Castle as I haven’t been there year but other than that, the plan is to eat, sleep and maybe, if I’m feeling particularly motivated, do some laundry.
What do you do when you’re starting to get sick to ward off the germs?
