One way I know I am myself is that I have a fairly high energy level combined with a good appetite. Those have both been missing for ten days since I caught a rather nasty head cold. I’ve been uncharacteristically malaisy, a combination of the disease and the meds I took for it. Nothing smelled good. Nothing tasted good. I couldn’t hear very well.
Then today, lunch sounded good. Abby gave me a Subway gift card (which she got from her work’s healthy eating program), so I had my usual veggie patty sub. It was great. I bounced around town, once again excited to be taking pictures. I shot well.
Then by four o’clock, I was hungry again, and got a veggie burger from Burger King!
Finally, and I can’t stress this point enough, I got over this illness without a doctor visit or antibiotics.
The Muh is giant again.
Welcome back Man.
Glad to have you back among the healthy*. :-)
(* I use the term loosely for most of us.)
For most of my life, I stay hungry when sick, often even more so, though my tastes will often change and I’ll crave things I normally don’t eat. Fortunately, I haven’t been sick in a couple of years (fingers-crossed, knock on wood).
Glad for you to be back, RB. And that is a magnificent shot, by the way. Nice to hear it has warmed back up out there, too.
I will now retract what I said in my previous comment. I was very sick yesterday, and did not eat a single thing. I’m a tad better this morning, but still reeling.
Carry on.
