Yesterday I woke up feeling horrible, wondered if I was getting sick, decided I was just dehydrated, drank lots of tea, and went off to school. During they day I realized I was getting sick, and immediately berated myself for doing too much, for not sleeping enough, for consistently forgetting to take cod liver oil, etc.
And then after school I was working on the display case outside my classroom (time to take down the cutesy signs about "Microsoft Office" and "Typing Tutor" and replace them with the things I'm actually teaching). I was doing a lot of getting up and down to put glue on things and then stick them up and I started realizing that my left leg felt tired. And then I went to get the stapler and thought, oh, crap, I'm having trouble walking. There's nothing like a cold to get the ol' immune system all hot and bothered.
Fortunately, I already had a chiropractic appointment scheduled, and after 45 minutes on the table out at Lifeworks, I was feeling a lot better. Today I'm home with a yucky cold/flu -- not even taking violin students tonight. Time to listen to my body and give it some TLC.
