Ugh, I haven’t been sick in soooo long.. so long I don’t even remember.. so it’s been a couple years at least.
How do I do that? Well, I know how to ward it off I guess. When I feel it coming on I normally make some homemade soup, take some elderberry syrup and start feeding my immune system with good for you herbal teas, probiotic foods, garlic.. etc etc etc
Then I usually kick that meh feeing before it has a chance to catch me and move on with my life. 🙌🏼
Well after the munchkin was at a sleepover and one of the other munchkins got a high fever in the middle of the night, I knew it was coming. So, I did all those things above for her and we kicked her fever in a night. wahooo
It’s so much easier taking care of someone else, rather than yourself.
So, this would then be the time I do all those things for me to ensure I don’t get the same yuckies..
But, instead I spent 3 days framing a house!
What the what?
I know, weird Segway there.. but for anyone who doesn’t know I’m building a small home on my families ranch and this was the weekend I had help showing up to frame it.
So I instead of taking care of myself, I over extended myself and followed none of my own suggestions 😄 and now I’m paying for it.
BUT good news is, we made some progress on the house and soon I’ll have this view with my morning coffee, and all will be right with the world ☺️
(minus all the construction equipment and missing floors and such...)
Anywho... 8 days since my last blog post and all I can offer you is a sad visual of feverish me with a non ending cup of herbal tea, a warm blanket and the most cheesy hallmark movies humanely possible. I hope you’ll forgive me 😜
Moral of the story..
Take care of yourselves people! Because when you don’t, it catches up with you...
Much Love,
Justine
Am I the only one who loves getting sick at least once a year? :D Call me crazy but it's a time I realize I should always put my health first, and it's a beautiful feeling even though I might feel really bad physically. It's a reminder you gotta take care of yourself, drink those cups of tea and rest, no excuses anymore :) I hope you feel better soon!

Call me crazy but when I feel like I'm starting to get sick I go and workout... of course I wouldn't go if I felt really really sick, but since it is starting I feel like it helps. In my opinion the increased temperature of the body while working out and after working out decreases the normal bacterial and viral replication. At least that is what I think that happens, it already prevented me from getting sick a couple of times...

Take care of oneself , many reasons why i didn't or could not do just that .
Jo , you gotta make money , no time for sickness , i was born sick , ignore and go on , your little family depends on it . I worked many places that today are considered a health hazard risk . I was a expendable working class hero for most of my live . Some years back i got the bill for it , physically burned up and worn out , back-stabbed by wife and kids i lost all i had .
I have learned the hard way , take care of yourself first so you can stay a help and support to other's . Because the other way around no one will return what you ones gave .
Where i live a house on a location like that will cost you millions in cash , just to have the right's to build it . Ho yes you are so lucky with that view . Get well , stay well , enjoy your luck :-)
