Living Viruses

The Big Yuck. That's what this first half of the week has been. Have I exercised? No. Do I feel guilty about it? A bit, but I'm trying to squash it because it's really not my fault (how many 5 year olds do I sound like right now?). Monday is one of my "rest days" and I didn't think that Tuesday would bother me. But it did. Here's how:
I didn't walk yesterday morning because I was supposed to go to yoga last night. What I didn't think about was the shots I was going to get yesterday afternoon. I went to Hattiesburg yesterday for an appointment, and afterwards I stopped by the Forrest County Health Department. You see, I'm going to Uganda in March on a mission trip, and there are a few immunizations one must get before visiting Uganda. So I went to the Health Department and told them what I needed: Yellow Fever, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, Tetanus, and Polio. (I have to take malaria pills while I'm there) As it turns out, they don't keep Yellow Fever in stock so I will have to make a trip elsewhere in the state for that one. But I got the other four. Yup. Live viruses coursing through my body. Needless to say, I didn't make it to yoga last night. By the time I had gone to Target (on my death bed I woulnd't pass up a trip to Target) and driven back to McComb, I couldn't lift my arms over my shoulders. Those shots sting!! And this morning did I walk? Nope. Running a low-grade fever. It's gone now, but the big yuck sums it up nicely. Tomorrow is a new day, hopefully without temperatures and aches.
