Sweeet2th's Journal, 19 November 2014

Hi, Folks.
I've been battling a bad cold for the past week or so, so that means no running, since I'm gasping for breath by the time I climb a flight of stairs! Alas, I am not the immortal superhero I think I am and it's the first time I've been sick in at least 3 or 4 years, so I'm not handling this gracefully. I am super appreciative of The Sig-O for taking care of me and tolerating me because I've been acting like a giant sniffling baby. In the past week, food-wise, there have been a lot of veggie soups, smoothies and green juices, so I know I'm on-track, even though I haven't been logging my food. This cold has been challenging in particular because I'm used to making this homemade magical cold remedy tea with fresh ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, jalapenos and lime juice, but I don't eat nightshades anymore, so no magical cold tea for me this time! *insert sad, pouty face here*

On a non-health/wellness-related front, I have sold one of my drawings for $500! It's a picture of cute little girl with the head of a giant lizard/demon, wearing a flowery dress, holding a huge lollipop and teddy bear, who has been abandoned on a desert road with buzzards flying all around her. Yes, it's a bizarre image, but the unexpected extra cash will help make Christmas a little more fun, for sure and has definitely help lift my spirits while I've been under the weather.

I'm hoping to be able to ease back into exercise in a few more days, when my breathing gets back to normal, so I'm sure I'll be running circles around the town sooner than I think. I have been reading your journal entries and want to lend my encouragement and support during this difficult holiday season. Stay strong, stay focused, have fun and be safe!

Kale, Kettlebells, Kleenex and (air) Kisses,
*achooooooo*

Hope you feel better soon, being sick is awful but it sounds like you're taking good care of yourself so you should be good as new before you know it! Congrats on selling one of your drawings! It must have been awesome to sell for so much, and such a good time of year to have extra money coming in. :)

The drawing you describe brings to mind "Shark Girl". Cool. Congrats on the sale. And get well. The magic tea you speak of is something my Taiwanese mom makes when she's feeling under the weather.
