January is a rough month. I know so many people who have been sick. My friends with kids tell me it’s been like a loop of illness for weeks. Here in L.A., we’re not cloistered inside as much, so I like to believe we’re less susceptible, but I’ve been washing my hands a lot more lately, just in case. How are you feeling?
Cruelest Month by Roz Chast
Very grateful to have been healthy this month so far!
What do you do to keep yourself healthy during the winter months?
I haven’t been doing anything in particular to avoid illness. Maybe not being around kids, walking the dog most mornings, and keeping a humidifier going makes some difference.
It seems that my friends with kids get sick a lot more than I do.
Oh, I’m just filled with dread that I’m going to get it. So I’m washing my hands lots and lots and trying to get more sleep. We’ll see.
I agree that getting sleep is a key ingredient to staying healthy. When I’m sleep deprived, I’m the most vulnerable.
