Let me get this out of the way first—I like holidays. Who doesn’t? However, I dislike it when they end, because that means getting back to work again; who was it who said everything has a beginning and an ending. And so it was with the recent Chinese New Year holidays—it was a five-day break for me, but what a heavenly break! To be plain lazy for five days, though I still did my laps in the pool.
Maybe it was pure coincidence, but I felt a little sick yesterday—it was like the flu bugs attacking me at a time when I was most vulnerable. Took an actifed tablet last night an hour before going to bed (this cold medication causes drowsiness, so it was appropriate for me to take it just before bedtime) and felt better this morning. Went for a swim to release more endorphins.
It is Sunday, February 1, as I write this. Tomorrow it’s back to the normal routine. Won’t think too much of these post-holiday blues, so hopefully they’ll leave me and go bug somebody else.
