Project 289 - Day 55 : More Pills Than a Spam-Sending Pharmacist!

I am ridiculously healthy. Usually.

But this year my body, despite lots of 5 a.m. walks (which speaks to a disturbed state of mind more than anything!), some swimming and mostly healthy eating, has decided that illness is in, and rudely good health is so passe, darling. Not much gratitude for tending after it well, and making sure it doesn't look or feel 43!! I even took the flu vaccination jab at work this year, and while I didn't feel fabulous for a few days afterwards, that's pretty standard, and I rightly expected that my body, supine with gratitude towards me, would reward me by refusing point blank to contract any of the nasty flu currently rushing around our office from person like person like a partygoer at a rave on speed - "You are ze flu yes? Ha! I reject you, and look scornfully in your generale direction! Huh!"

Now to be fair this latest bout of sickness isn't the flu. So in that respect at least my body has somewhat played it's part. What it has contracted in a moment of "Oops did I leave the door to the immune system open? Sorr-rreee!", is a head cold and slight chest infection. Not the end of the world, and certainly channelling every last skerrick of my overwrought Protestant work ethic (and my mother's 'I may be deathly ill but I shall go to work anyway' example), I made it to work, and got lots done. But could I have performed better? Yes. Did I want to curl up in the Cubicle of Death and Greyness and sleep till Oprah comes on? Yes? But did I do any of that? No! Yes - I am an idiot!!! LOL

So today's photo, and yes those followers who are counting there is only one photo today 

(although the bylaws of the blog, written by me do state I can cram a whole album in here if the mood takes me! LOL), is of all the medication I am taking to make that the Good Ship, Andrew the EA, stays afloat during the working day, even if he limps slowly back to port at day's end, crawls into bed, and watches the Oprah re-runs he taped earlier in the day.
