I’m a baby when sick. Yes, Derek, I’ve officially been persuaded. I got sick today and I feel like crap. I find myself whining incessantly and wishing that my wife would wait on me hand and foot. Luckily she’s nice enough to just laugh it off and bring me some food, then leave me alone.
I was writing earlier over at The Abundant Artist about not forcing things to happen. I have found that when I get sick I have to allow it to run its course or else it just becomes much, much worse. I once got sick and tried to go out and work. After being out for about three hours I had to go home. I went to bed and slept from 10 am until the next morning at around 8 am.

A person’s health is directly related to their emotional and spiritual health.

Until then, I’m going to take a rest and allow myself to recover from whatever is going on with me. YouTube always makes me feel better when I’m sick. I leave you with this bit of enjoyment:
