The Streak is Over.....

.....at least I think.

I don't think I've been sick in at least two years. I apparently have a powerful immune system, but I attribute it to the fact that I exercise EVERY DAY. I'm glad it's good for something, because it certainly isn't melting off any pounds.

And I'm not really, really sure I'm sick now.

It began yesterday morning. I had exercised, and I was getting ready for school. I hadn't eaten breakfast, but I often take something with me to eat when I get to school. Suddenly I felt extremely dizzy. Hubby blamed it on the fact that I had worked out but not eaten. It didn't really feel like a low blood sugar dizzy, though. The vertigo continued through the day, but I didn't have any other symptoms. I almost hesitate to write this part, but it's true: the vertigo is worst when I cut my eyes to the right. Not left, not up or down. Only to the right.

Naturally I still went to the gymnastics meet last night. It would take a heck of a lot more than a simple cold to keep me from going to gymnastics.

Today I've become more and more congested, and now I feel achy and possibly feverish.

This isn't the way I usually get sick. Usually I wake up one morning with a sore throat and feel like a truck has run over me.

It doesn't usually sneak up on me like this, one little symptom at a time.

I'm waiting for the big whammy. But I'm attempting to ward it off with drugs.

I'm sorry I couldn't write something more meaningful than a state-of-my-health post tonight. I'll try harder tomorrow.

Ugh! I hope you're feeling better soon. By the by, I had a really bad case of vertigo a couple of years ago. I couldn't even sit up because it was so bad. Turned out to be an inner ear infection, but it was the absolute worst. I'm sending positive, healing vibes your way.

Thank you both SOOOOOOOOOOOO much for your well wishes. They must be powerful, because today I feel fine. No more dizziness... Well, no more than standard for me.

It was either your well wishes or the drugs, and I'm betting on you guys. Thanks again! Mwah!

I hope you feel better soon! Since you haven't been sick for two years, maybe the common cold is taking revenge and trying to get your in a stealth manner.

Take care of you!
