i never catch cold

today was a hard day. it was almost nonstop action at the office and that's two days in a row. coming from a company where i was completely under utilized to a company where i'm part of the team, and a valued member of the team, i feel awesomely optimistic about my hard days. i know there will be rewards for working hard. but this is the time of year when my body rejects normalcy and i battle colds and flu and strep throat and colds again. i hate seattle falls!

i'm not sickly by any means but it seems like my body has been not been a fan of seattle. i've had the flue every year since i moved here. i've also caught an annoying virus twice and had strep throat four times! what does my immune system have against seattle? really!

but this year i am hoping things will be different. i eat healthier, i work out more, i get enough sleep (though this week i'm already in sleep deficit) and i take good care of my body. if i get so much as a wink of a cold i'm going to be pissed! being sick is not only a waste of time, but i'm a big baby and at the moment, i have no one to take care of me when i'm under the weather. i would have to make my own homemade chicken noodle soup (which is bomb.com!) and i would have to pick up my own meds. yep, it's the pits.

so my goal is to say this year for the first time since moving to seattle, "i never catch cold" and mean it.
