Thought I’d make it through this winter without getting sick, but I was wrong. Too little sleep and too much activity left my body vulnerable for catching something. It did — a cold. From past experience with winter colds, I knew what I had to do — drink lots of liquids (hot toddies are my favorite), get tons of sleep and ease off on exercise.
Plans to go recreational skiing were shelved. But, I needed a subject for this week’s article. It’s hard to write about skiing when you’re home in bed.
