It isn’t a fun feeling when you wake up with a sore throat and sinus infection after only a month of just getting over a bad one.
But that is what I am facing now and I think it probably came on because I was eating too much sugar.
I was doing a zero sugar diet, and I mean no sugar at all, except for fruit and naturally occurring sugars in whole foods. I broke down last Friday night and got a chocolate ice cream cone from the store. It was really good but now my body’s heating up with a fever and I am sitting next to my whole home air purifier trying to breathe in fresh air. Today I don’t have too much on the plate with this cold and I plan on taking it easy most of the day. I will do my heating and cooling system work online for a few hours and then take a much needed nap in air conditioned luxury in my bedroom in the back. I canceled my dentist appointment and yoga class this week and I will resume the class when I’m feeling better. I teach at this local business but I don’t want to spread my cold to the students or to all the HVAC techs who work with me at the HVAC company. I will try to stay in my office most of the day and keep away from other people till I am feeling better. My HEPA filter is keeping the indoor air quality good for my flatmate so I don’t get her sick too.
