Felled by a cold
I’ve been out of commission for a while now. My last full martial arts class was last Wednesday, 11 days ago. Nine days ago, I went to Friday night’s Hapkido class. I wasn’t feeling great at the start of class, and got progressively woozier until I decided I kind of had to leave and go home.
Spent the weekend with possibly a mild fever, an increasingly sore throat, and a great deal of lassitude. The work week was much the same — I worked from home on Monday and Tuesday, went to work on Wednesday (a mistake, which I mitigated by leaving after less than half a day), stayed home on Thursday, then went in on Friday. Congestion has replaced the sore throat as my primary complaint, but it is also one that screws with the inner ear such that doing martial arts would not be a good idea.
Unfortunately my hunger didn’t go away this week and the combination of eating and not exercising has left me kind of squishy. With this week being Thanksgiving, I’ll put on some more weight and get more out of shape. Oh, well.
