Hey, it’s your boy, Choujin.
Today your boy’s been hit by an old enemy that everybody’s been going through since the dawn of time: The common cold.
I’m sure you are like me and are fighting the flu as we speak or some of you may have a friend, loved one or co-worker fighting it. I can simply tell you one thing about the flue: It sucks!
I bet you’re wondering why it sucks? Well besides feeling a whole new level of ick like sweating or hacking up flem. Sometimes you might get that nasty headache and fever that makes you feel you don’t want to do anything except sleep or veg out. As a kid, this may be awesome and perfect if you got a school day, but when you’re an adult? Ooooh boy, you wonder why kids cheer for sick days in my time. Though of course, it was a more simpler time when kids would watch cartoons. However, that’s another story.
“but Choujin, it’s just a cold. All you need is some soup, warm clothes and that’s it”, i’m sure some would say. My response is this: sure I can do that, and I can recoup. However, it doesn’t make it less of a blech experience for me or others. For starters, I don’t want to get sick on the day of the release for the new Star Wars movie, or to remain sick during my Driving Writing Exam. Having a cold and doing an exam doesn’t mix very well, and I mean it..it’s not fun. Sure I can veg out and relax, but I’d rather do that while I’m feeling healthy than being sick.
Then the next problem if you do decide to leave the house (whether you want to or not) is that you end up spreading it to some other person. Especially to your friends, loved ones (if they’re elderly) and other people. Unless I need to pick up medicine or something urgent, I’m not going to spread my cold to other people and would rather sit at home and rest up. Perhaps take an opportunity for some basic housework or getting things done rather than sitting here and doing nothing or being a moron and being the many that spread the flu.
For the time being, i’m writing this article while coughing and sneezing whatever I caught. Though I’m not going to let this cold get to me for writing or studying for my driving writing test. For this short time, your boy will be taking some cough medicine, maybe some soup and a sandwich and just do some basic work while keeping myself warm and not getting sacked by this cold. For those who haven’t caught it yet this season, I’d heavily suggest you get a flu shot from your local doctor or hospital. If you are like me and have caught it? Make sure you take flu medicine, do not push yourself too hard and try your best to not spread your cold to other people (washing your hands, not touching doorknobs).
Hunker down, keep warm and make sure you don’t make it worse in the end. Though luckily the cold goes away and doesn’t linger for long.
For today, this is Choujin saying to you all to hunker down this Flu Season.
