Thursday Blues

This basically sums up how I'm feeling today.

I woke up this morning with a sore throat, which for me, 99.9% of the time - means tonsillitis.  I should probably talk to my doctor about having them removed, because almost anytime I'm sick it is tonsillitis, and I seem to get it about 4 times a year.  However, I don't think I ever have it severely enough to have them taken out.  But honestly - do we really need our tonsils?  According to wikipedia (which I usually take with a grain of salt - it isn't exactly the most reliable source), "the tonsils are designed to keep bacteria out of the stomach to prevent sickness" - well, I guess that means in my case they are working - the tonsils are catching all the bacteria! 

Apart from sickness, I'm just feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything - work, study, life in general. 

I exercised yesterday but only my Irish Dancing class.  Today was going to be my day off from exercise (as I work until 9 - and yes, I'm at work today even though I would prefer to be in bed!) which has worked out well, but hoping I'm better tomorrow and can step it up for the rest of the week.

Anyway, I guess the main thing is to make sure I stick to the nutritional side of things while I'm sick - unfortunately having a sore throat hasn't made me any less hungry, even though I don't particularly want to eat because it hurts to swallow!
