Sick

Heartsick, sick with a fever, sick of work, sick in the head, sick as a dog…

So many ways to be mentally and physically not well. 

Everyone I know is either getting sick, being sick, getting over being sick, caring for someone who is sick or trying to avoid everyone who is sick so they don’t get sick – good luck to you on that one! 

I’m sick and tired of sickness, but how to heal? Take a pill? Get plenty of rest? Starve a cold, feed a fever? Or is it starve a fever, feed a cold? Detoxify? DeStress? Check in or check out? Get in touch with your inner child? Eat more garlic? Blah, blah, blah…

Yes, it stinks to be sick, your brains turn to goo and start running out your nose, you get a major abdominal workout by coughing up a lung and nothing is more motivating than the fantasy of staying in bed all day long.
