Hi fellow Hiveians,

Today I wanted to chat about the challenge of not feeling well!

# Down With The Sickness 

It’s been a heck of a winter season for us! My poor son has come down with another bout of the flu, we are doing all the letters now lol! Flu B this time which was lovingly given to me. Sharing is caring! 

You definitely don’t appreciate the normalcy of not being sick until you are in the trenches of it and struggling. I’ve been lucky enough to gone most of the winter season without getting sick but the two times lately have really knocked me on my ass haha. I hate when you are feeling it come on at the end of the day - where you’re feeling tired more than you should and then your body aches. That’s when you know you’re in for a ride!

I’m lucky in that I’ve got sick time at work which I know is a luxury for a lot of people - it’s not something that everyone gets. I still worked for a few hours but I was able to sign off and focus on resting and getting better. 

The crazy part about it all is that we rely so much on some of the basics of modern culture and manufacturing. Being able to get cold medicine from the store down the street is a wonderful thing - and having access to information which can help us get better such as home remedy’s for the sickness like garlic, onions and soups. Yes these things have existed for a while but the ease at which we can access them these days is important!

We’ve got a lot of the things down for helping us get better. Knowing which medicine to take when seems like it’s a little basic but it can help with the overall recovery for sure! I’ve got lots of the alternative things in the house and those work really well such as echinacea and goldenseal. Those things are powerful as hell! 

I’m really hoping that I can sleep well tonight and wake up tomorrow feeling a lot better than I do now, it’s not guaranteed but it would go a long way to helping me get back to my duties as a dad!
