Not feeling so well

I wish it was Monday so I could blame my under-the-weather-ness on that, but alas.  It’s Wednesday.

One of the busiest days of my week (the day I either drop off or pick up my youngest, and today was a PICK HIM UP day, WHEE, which means he is back in my house where he belongs), and I’m sick again.  Or something.  I don’t know what this is, but it has me and it won’t go away.

I thought at first it was just a… how do I put this delicately… CLEANSING sort of thing.  We’ve started baking with flaxseed meal, and eating oatmeal for breakfast, and a side effect of eating a lot more fiber is that your colon lets go of a lot of stuff that’s been, for lack of a better word, just lying around not going anywhere.

It started out that way, which on the one hand was rather like having the flu, so icky - but on the other hand, I had no other symptoms because I wasn’t actually sick with anything.  Except that, since getting rid of a lot of what my body was storing and didn’t need, I have lost a lot of energy because I haven’t been putting enough good stuff back in.  So then my immune system decided to take a break, and now I am coming down with a cold, I think.

I have a sort of headache and I’ve been blowing my nose all day and sneezing.  And my throat is scratchy.

STAY AWAY! IT’S THE PLAGUE!
