WHAT'S THE DEALIO?


Yesterday I felt a cold of some sort coming on. Slowly but surely, it travelled non-stop through the night and arrived promptly this morning - lodged securely in my head in the form of an annoying cough and sore throat. Is it just me or is there an over abundance of germs and virus' floating around, contaminating each and every one of us? I swear I just got over a stupid and long over drawn sickness, so what's the dealio? I take my daily vitamins (multi's/C's/Omega 3-6-9's), eat more than my fair share of veggies, keep a mostly clean house, and wear a coat and hat when I go out in the cold, so what's the dealio? I know yesterday I played hockey without shoulder pads while sweat completely drenched my frigid yet warm body. But, what's the dealio? The older you get is it easier to get sick? I'm no doctor, but I'm not idiot either and I think something's up here. Up until this past year I'd never heard of a cold lasting more than a week, week and a half tops. Now, I'm not so sure I even got rid of that stupid and long over drawn sickness I mentioned earlier - and I felt that one for close to three weeks! Or so I thought. Bizzel even gave me a set of those immune boosting pills he so vehemently stands behind. Nothing. What's the dealio? I thought that once you caught and got rid of a cold, there was some sort of buffer between the next time you get one, like at least a month or two. Or, are there so many different, and undetectable virus' roaming unprovoked amidst the open air that a defense against them is futile and a waste of what little energy is left? I wouldn't care much, because it's freezing out and I have a lot of reading to do, but we have a show tonight and it seems that whenever we do, I don't feel my best. I would like to feel my best when performing in front of complete strangers. Singing isn't the easiest thing to do in the first place. Especially when you have to play the guitar at the same time, let alone when your throat is all torn up. I'd much rather fight stage fright than a cold any day. What's the dealio?

THE 1 THING I LEARNED TODAY

If you ride your bike in 4 completely different directions. You can tell exactly which way the wind is blowing. That is, if you're fairly good with directions.
