Throughout today, I have been sick. I hate being sick. It might sound weird but I liked being sick this time. It gave me the perfect excuse to stay in bed and get pity from my friends. No, don't look at me like that, I am always the one who comes off as strong, so I needed to prove I am human too. I too can be weak.
I must confess, although I was sick in the physical, my mind wasn't. It was still there working careful analysis of the various acts that I have put together in the last few days. Then, she continued to move pawns as though playing a chess game, teaching and guiding me on what to do in the next few weeks and months, if that counts.

I stopped myself from dipping into my account and getting funds to buy drugs, I just wanted to be sick. I wanted my body to realize she can't do what she wants anytime she wants. I am in control, lol.
And I am typing this because I think she got the gist. She is recovering. Well, I think you should know that she started recovering when she saw me boil two eggs for dinner. Haha, I guess she loves eggs, she should have said so, instead of trying to get me all weak and stuff.
Here was the plan, to prepare Noodles with boiled eggs, take some pills, publish a post, take my bath, and then sleep till tomorrow. With the assurance, I'll wake up fine tomorrow. Now, my body doesn't want to wait till tomorrow to be fine, she is grateful for the protein I gave her, and she rewarded me with healings.
When I was small, I loved the dry season because I didn't like the wet one. However, the dry season always made me sick because I am allergic to dust and a dirty environment. Mum always complained that I get sick more than I should. And for this reason, I often tried to hide most of my illnesses in order not to offend her. In the process, I began to learn about my body and I found out I was constantly sick during the dry season as I explained above.
Knowing this, I tried as much as I could to always stay in clean areas, and be very cautious during the dry season. You will most often find my bedsheets clean always. You will notice my bathroom, toilet, kitchen, and the rest of the rooms I occupied cleaned always. You may applaud me for being a clean person, what you wouldn't know is that I am slaving away for my body. I answer to her.
My parents were those who complimented the fact that I always clean and do laundry every time, without complaints. They will always ask me to take up chores that involve cleaning because I'll be happy to help out. And I was happy to help because I knew if I didn't, it wouldn't affect anyone else but me.
Now, you see why today, I was trying to tell my body to submit to me instead of the other way round. Shockingly, she is still the winner because I cleaned my house and made sure all of my bedsheets and curtains are cleaned yesterday for her sake of course. Today, she was trying to prank me into thinking I did something wrong. I might have done something wrong because I did exposes myself to a large percentage of dust when I spent time with my friends these few days.
Nevertheless, maybe I won, maybe, my body won, it doesn't matter. What matters is that I am recovering and I can go back to doing the things I love very much.
You may not be allergic to dust as I am but I need you to understand that health is wealth (I know you've heard this a lot of times already). Therefore, if taking care of my environment keeps me from being sick for a long time, then, it will do the same to you.
You need to always take care of the places you live, and breathe in. It's important. You do not want to spend a huge amount of money on health care when you are old. At the same time, you need to be strong enough to live long enough to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Therefore, take care of yourself and the people you love.
Eat right, exercise, get enough rest, take proper medications, have fun and you'll be fine.
