My first cold in over 2 years

Hard to believe, but true. I have Zicam to thank for this. Because I was busy in Seattle when the very first signs of my cold started to appear, and it just wasn’t on my mind, I didn’t use Zicam nearly as much as I normally would have… hence, my first cold in a very long time.

This means:

Once again canceling our SoulCycle reservations. I was really looking forward to these for the second time! I already canceled once before. I promise one day I will try it out!

No exercising. I feel like crap. There is no way I’m going to force my body to work when it is BEGGING me for rest. The weekend will be spent in bed.

Canceling fun weekend plans including my already postponed dinner with two of my good friends and seeing the boy’s adorable niece and nephew.

Possibly not making the Maple Glazed Pumpkin French Toast as I had planned. I’ll see how up to it I am.

I hate being sick! I’m just trying to get through the day so I can rest. I can’t wait to lie down in bed with my book (The Reader — really good so far) and spend the weekend there. 

In other news, the nutritionist my doctor works with doesn’t take my insurance, so I made an appointment with another one who is close to my apartment for next Wednesday. I will keep you updated on this.

I’ll leave you with some good things. A picture of my brother smushing that baby puppy and one of me sleeping while watching Man on Wire with Santana (who woke up when she heard the picture about to be taken).

    hey! there are lots of natural options if you think you have a food sensitivity. if you want to shoot me an email, i can put you in touch with my father in law, who is a holistic doctor and may be able to help you over the phone or put you in touch with someone local.

    Feel better soon my friend. Sounds like you’re body needs rest, and I’m glad you’re planning on getting plenty this weekend. Your friends and the pumpkin glazed french toast will understand. 🙂

      Thanks! Sadly, the pup is closer to you than she is to me since she lives in Seattle! I’d love to get my own…
