Why is it when there is so much to do that a sinus infection causes us to succumb? Antibiotics, soup, and sleep seem to rule the day. I cannot give in. I associate illness with a flaw and do not tolerate it well in others or myself. We were to be off to the beach for inhalation of the fresh air and a windy blush to the cheeks. Instead our noses are red from repeated blowing. I wish I could turn this forced slowing down into a positive. At least now I do cut back on exercise, read more frequently, and drink tea. What an unexpected, disappointing start to this next phase of my life!
