…does your body have time to be sick.

It’s Tuesday night. I’m just settling into the bed. I’ve come off a really long week wrapping up office projects, freelance projects and a sold-out four-night run of a new theatre production. You could say I’ve been busy.

But it’s only when you slow down (last night and tonight) that your body has time to catch up and throw a horrible head cold at you.

I’ve been blessed health-wise since I turned my diet around at the beginning of the year. Admittedly, things have stopped moving in that area thanks to two back-to-back theatre productions but the knock-on effects of sharpening up food-wise are still being felt. I don’t usually get colds, don’t usually get sick, don’t usually get chest infections, migraines, everything is under control.

I don’t get sick because I don’t have the time to get sick - there’s always something to be doing.

However, allowing myself Monday night off and finding Tuesday the first week night I’ve had off in a few weeks, I’m lying in bed cooped up with a nasty headcold and the laptop.

My cure for the headcold? Starting a new project… something I’ll be doing on Thursday after picking up another nice job earlier in the week.

In the downtime inbetween, it means that I get to spend tomorrow planning from the bed, cleaning out my inbox of the 100+ unread emails from during the week and making headway on the project start for the end of the week. No point in sleeping it out now is there?

Do you find the same? It’s only when you slow down that you get sick?
