Sickness and flu at home<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So for this Mindful Monday, my message is to focus on the things you can control, rather than the things you can’t. I’m bummed that I got knocked down by this, but now I will give my body the best chance it could have to recover — with fluids, rest, and a ton of tissues!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that point, my immune system will have been double jabbed, boosted, AND infected with Covid. I think that makes it the immune system of steel, LOL. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I figure we have like 3-4 days of miserableness before symptoms wear off. So there’s nothing to do but just hunker down on the couch here at the Clower Covid Compound, while my immune system puts this virus to bed!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus on what you CAN do, and don’t let the other stuff bring you down.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
