On Tuesday, January 1, the first day of 2013, I woke up feeling not all that well. I decided, in the spirit of it being the new year, that I was going to triumph over this little setback and not let it cramp my style.
I went straight for the herbals (which have definitely worked in the past, so don't lecture me on avoiding western medicine) and such and by about 10AM, I was feeling great. I had a big to-go mug of hot tea and was ready to be social!
A couple hours and half a lap around the Mall of America later, I realized that this was not to be. I excused myself from my friends and took the train home.
I called in sick from work the following two days - I call in sick so infrequently that I had to ask someone how to do it. It's apparently not that difficult.
I wish to take this moment to tout the healing properties of Dr. Singha's Mustard Bath. It seems a little strange, but in addition to having detoxifying properties, it is also very relaxing. I took a few of these baths while I was down for the count, and they all made me feel a lot better, even if I just needed to feel better enough to get some sleep. Evidently I am not the only person who thought that this was a good idea, because I wound up buying the last of the supply that The Wedge Co-Op had on their shelves.
I'm still not feeling 100%, but I'm back at work and in the land of the living.
