In no particular order: Sore throat. Interrupted sleep. Headache. Snuffle.
More tissues than usual were used by clients this week. Not very many tears were shed, which usually means there are a few bugs doing the rounds. Perhaps I caught it whilst at work. Perhaps not. Sometimes causes are less important than cures, or at least management.
"Sickness shows us what we are" - Latin proverb
Early night. Rest. Echinacea. Plentiful fluids. Vitamin C and Zinc.
I have learnt to respect my body enough to listen to the early warning signs, and take heed. Denial only makes matters worse.
Sometimes we need reminding to slow down, and occasionally we are required to stop. A bit like driving; there are more regular 'Give Way' signs than there are 'Stop'. Noticing our own internal speed limit is important, for the penalties for exceeding them can be high.
