The flip side of doin’ it all

Well, who knows how related it is, but I was at least forced to consider the possible negative implications of “doin’ it all”. On Sunday night I ate my vegan version of “spaghetti and garlic”, the ground-beef version of which my dad used to make on Sunday evenings when my mom ate popcorn. Anyway, when I was going to bed (early, I was very tired), I felt like I had a piece of flat parsley (featured in the dish) caught in my throat. I couldn’t get it out. *shrug* I went to sleep.
I woke up with a peculiar sore throat. It pretty much went away during the morning, but I still felt pretty out of it on Monday. I still thought that maybe I was just tired from my exerciseful and otherwise busy weekend. But, I did a lot of blowing my nose and sneezing on Tuesday and Wednesday, and today I’ve been coughing. All a pretty normal progression. I certainly can’t say I’ve been miserable, but I’m pretty sure that I had a mild case of something.
So, maybe doin’ it all can lead to a depressed immune system. Even if that’s true (which is questionable, I mean, I might have just gotten sick) I have no regrets. It was a fun weekend.
And another is coming up!
