Sick

Lack of sleep plus clocking in over 12 hours of work daily equals weaken immune system.

Weaken immune system plus pathogens equals sore throat which developed into fever and cough.

Taking a relaxed pace now to heal myself and administering a cough syrup that makes me drowsy. I need to sleep more.

Talking about cough syrup which I bought over-the-counter, a 17-year-old track star died from over usage of anti-inflammatory muscle cream, the kind used to soothe aching legs after exercise. Never would have imagined that this cream can kill people. The old philosophy of exercising, "no pain, no gain" is flawed. We should listen to our body and rest when it is hurting too much.

Rest when pained to go further,
Gained by no injury to self.
