I'm as sick as can be and I have been since Saturday night. It's miserable. I feel like I have the flu, a cold and bronchitis all rolled up into one. I wasn't even able to go to my two morning classes Tuesday (my late EMT one was canceled due to weather, praise Jesus!)
I've been watching all of my family and friends get sick, and just Friday evening I was bragging about how I hadn't caught a bug yet. Well, it came back and bit me on my lower posterior plane.
-aha, the joys of being an EMT student. Med-term-talk. You're all gonna love me for the next couple of months.

- At the first sign of sickness, start taking medicine
- Take vitamins when you hear about someone close to you being sick
- Exercise, it'll boost your immune system
- Get the sleep and rest your body needs
- Keep a healthy diet
Keep to these tips and you should avoid taking part in the flu season all together! In the meantime I'm gonna take a nap...I have to go to work today or I'm not gonna have a paycheck. So, I'm forcing myself to go...ugh.
Everyone, have a blessed day!
