Balloon Head

Remember those commercials that had a guy saying that taking cold medicine made you feel like you had ahold of your head via a string, like a balloon? Yeah. I feel that. I am in the early stages of being sick. I had a good run. After quitting the daycare, I was sick for like a month straight. Stupid immune system. Then I came to the wonderful world of New Zealand and I wasn't ever sick ever again. Until now.

I have been frantically, or dare I say desperately, trying to avoid the full onslaught of illness. I drink water constantly, take multivitamins, eat vegetables and take naps. And yes, I do those things on a regular basis, but now I am in health overload. Plus, I take these sweet little red sinus pills my dad got from his old job. They are awesome. But they make me feel like my head is floating around above my body. Small price to pay.

Even with the pills, I woke up at four in the morning because it hurt so intensely as I swallowed. Downed some more water, went back to sleep. If I keep up this routine, I will overcome!! Or I'll be sick and my spirit will be crushed. Any takers on which of those it's bound to be?
