Oh man, let me tell you about this “wyatt sick” thing. It was a doozy, and not in a good way. I woke up one morning feeling like I’d been hit by a truck. You know that feeling, right? All achy, head pounding, and a throat that felt like sandpaper. I knew right away this wasn’t just some regular cold.
First things first, I dragged myself out of bed and made a beeline for the medicine cabinet. I grabbed some over-the-counter stuff – you know, the usual suspects for colds and flu. I also started guzzling water like it was going out of style. I remembered reading somewhere that staying hydrated is key when you’re under the weather.
Then, I did something that felt like a total game-changer. I put together a little “sick day kit.” Sounds kinda silly, I know, but hear me out. I stocked it with chicken broth (the ultimate comfort food), some herbal teas like elderberry and ginger, and a jar of honey. It was like having my own little arsenal against the sickness.
Now, about work – that was a whole other beast. I’m all for being a team player, but I also know my limits. I decided to call in sick. I sent out an email to my boss and the team, just a brief explanation, nothing fancy.
I spent the next few days in bed, resting up and trying to keep my energy levels up. I made sure to eat healthy meals, even though my appetite was pretty much nonexistent. I followed some tips, one was tracking my fluid intake to stay on top of hydration.
Here’s a little list of what I did to manage this whole “wyatt sick” situation:
- Took over-the-counter meds
- Stayed super hydrated
- Made a sick day kit with broth, teas, and honey
- Called in sick to work and kept my team in the loop
- Focused on rest and eating healthy
It wasn’t fun, not one bit. But I made it through. And you know what? I learned a thing or two about taking care of myself when I’m not feeling 100%. It’s not always easy, but sometimes you just gotta prioritize your health. So, if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, remember these little tips. They might just make the whole ordeal a little bit easier.
