It eventually happens to us all.. where we get sick!

I've been pretty fortunate the past several months. My son has been sick twice but I've steered clear of getting it.. until now! Thankfully it's really not bad, but at the same time it does put a wrench into some things.

I was doing really good with not getting sick and taking care of him when he's not feeling well. He ended up catching walking pneumonia once and it was pretty brutal! Thankfully I held out and was able to take care of him as well as my wife who also got sick. There comes a time though when your luck just doesn't last as long as it did haha.

I have been very lucky in that we have a fair bit of experience with this type of stuff at this point and that means we've picked up a trick or two. My latest trick that really reduces how bad it gets is I eat a shitload of raw garlic. I absolutely smell like a fucking Italian sub but the garlic does an amazing job at helping my body recover quicker! I don't get as severe of a cold or flu as I used to, and that's absolutely a win as a parent.

The added benefit with that is I also don't have to take the nasty pharmaceutical medicines like Dayquil or shit like that. They have their purpose and use, but they are sadly also full of all kinds of nefarious chemicals and things that I just don't put into my body. I've talked to a lot of people over the years, and have shared similar sentiments and initially they call me crazy but then I tell them to just try what I'm doing and see how it goes. Most of the time they say that they actually end up feeling better and recovering quicker with things like this, and then aren't as offended by the information. It's almost as if nature has most of what we need to live, right?

The issue I've been having with the sickness is that it's messed up my flow! I was doing good catching up on writing posts but then the past 2 nights I've just slept instead of doing writing. Thankfully I've gotten to engagement and the other important stuff, as well as catching up on much needed extra sleep but it's one of those things where we are feeling like we are losing out - especially as things are heating up in the markets with the price of Hive at the moment. I don't intend to sell any Hive, but I have been enjoying playing with the market fluctuations and trying to get some extra Hive for my HBD swaps!

Thankfully I am feeling a little better tonight so I'm able to write.. but I'm hoping that I wake up in the morning and feel a fair bit better so that tomorrow night I can do a good amount more writing just in case I end up getting sicker LOL Not the worst thing in the world of course, but we all have the things that we enjoy!

What about you, have you felt under the weather lately and it has hurt your fun times? Let me know in the comments!
