i'm cold, i'm so freaking cold... all dressed-up and under a blanket but still shivering...

I caught a sneaky virus on Sunday night - which proved to be more resilient than i expected (It's my fault for tempting the Gods - i was pretty sure nothing could go wrong that day and maybe i was to cocky about it : ). Switched to meds as a last resort... they made my head really dizzy - but the fever kept coming back after awhile. Today on the other hand, the temp was normal all day - so i thought i finally beat it - but now it's 39.2 *C... Could be a Scorpio Virus with Aries Moon... ^ ^ Pesky little bastard... can't remember the last time i encountered one of his kind (and i do have a good long term memory : ). Well, it's part of life, just doing his thing same as everybody else, thus... his tenacity should be admirable - i suppose (i hit him with strong dozes every 2 and 4 hours for 3 days in a row : ).

On the other hand, in times like this - i may bare a closer resemblance to a stereotypical Gemini... somehow detached from emotions and feelings - except the ones covered by the physical receptors (or, is that how they're called...). Those are still autonomous. I may be to numbed by meds right now, or it could be the fivor - or maybe my survival instincts or kicking in... either way, due to its rarity of occurrence it's somehow fascinating... Normally, i should still be able to summon feelings like sadness and sorrow - but my Aries Moon won't allow it (that too is autonomous right now - always kicks in in times like this), while...feelings of love and happiness seem to be out of reach. Hmm... i guess that because i'm closer to death - a destructive force which resides at a lower frequency, while so called love and happiness - are creative by nature - thus they're representative for higher frequencies (if not the highest). I hate feeling so weaken tho... i'll try a cold shower - see if that helps with the fever...

Bottom line... I'm fine. 🙂 It's no biggie (even a 6 months old infant - goes through stuff like this and overcomes it - i'm a freaking adult). ^ ^

Why does yawning and stretching feel so good?

Well... Muscles that are not moving start to build up waste products in the blood, which takes blood circulation to a low. Stretching will move the blood and re-distribute the waste products, which feels good. The muscle fibers that are created when muscles contract remain, partially, once the muscles have relaxed.

As for the yawning... For a number of reasons. First, the brain is cleared and receives more oxygen. This is especially helpful when waking from a night's sleep, after a nap, or even after sitting for a sustained period of time. When the body is at rest it uses less oxygen, breathing becomes shallower and the blood circulates more slowly. Stretching galvanizes the body's metabolism and kicks it up a few notches, almost like turning up a rheostat.

I have a head cold and a slight fever that I caught from my cap...which is total karma because I was taunting him when he was sick.

Other than that, all is good.

And you?

Is the fever gone now? Hang in there, this is all temporary guys. Don't worry.

I'm good, thanks for asking.

And remember guys...

Always have one of these with you. It's not expensive and it works. And remember to wash your hands ALWAYS.

Any questions how to use it ask Virgos. But @starwars got the flu too, so this virus must be very strong... be very careful.

Thanks. 🙂 It's just a bad case of flu. In past years i managed to dodge it with the help of vitamin C - but this case proved to be tougher than i anticipated (still ongoing). And since it kept me in bed the whole week - i tried to make the best of it - by conducting a personal research on myself (also a way to entertain my mind - to keep focus on something more useful or peaceful : ).

Apparently, it's hard to find peace of mind - when the whole body is at war. ^ ^ Tho, as the fever drops, around 37.5 degrees C - it becomes more manageable with the help of music. Right now, i'm trying something that worked in the past: binaural beats therapy (another for of sound therapy : ).
