So, here I am on my 16th day of not leaving the house and 2nd day of journaling. It’s one of those rainy/cloudy days, which I think mother nature has given us as a gift since some covidiots still refuse to self isolate and think this pandemic is a big joke. Either way, I’m grateful for these days because I feel like remaining indoors is a little more warranted and easier to digest.

I have to admit that as much as I got myself into a routine last week, it went to complete shit this week. I started the week off with an allergic reaction, well technically started on Saturday evening, so was pretty much out of commission the beginning of the week as the medication left me pretty much unconscious for the most part of Monday and Tuesday. The one thing I am doing religiously while this is going on is paying more attention to my body. And for a hypochondriac, that is a VERY SCARY thing. I was almost convinced on Wednesday that I had covid. I had just finished an afternoon zoom call and felt extremely tired and chilly all of a sudden. I immediately canceled my next call, made some soup and went to bed. This was at 6pm. Granted, even with the drugs I couldn’t fall asleep till after 11pm, I was sure by staying in bed I was much better off resting my body.

The one thing I have been doing consistently this week is eating my bone broth and drinking my lemon water with tea. Whether or not they really are keeping me healthy, I believe they are and though physical health is important, also believe this is a game of mind over matter. Think our mental health will also play a huge factor in the upcoming days so think we need to do what makes us feel better and what makes us feel happy to stay strong. For me, that is my hot water with lemon and my Brodo Bone Broth. Oh, and dissolving one zinc lozenge in my mouth before I go to bed. I’m actually running low, so if anyone knows where I can get some, please message me ASAP.
