The highs and lows of the holidays

I love the holidays. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year because it’s a time to get together with the family members I don’t see on a consistent basis. My family is one of those that has a big Thanksgiving get together with 30 plus people at one one meal that spans four tables at my Grandma’s farm house. It’s great to see everyone and get some time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
However, it never fails that at either Thanksgiving or Christmas (sometimes both) that I get some sort of illness after the crazy day is over. This year, it’s Thanksgiving. On Saturday, I began to feel congestion in my sinuses and the next day my head felt like it weighed 100 pounds, and I could hardly see straight my head hurts so bad. It’s like the absence of the constant driving force behind the holiday causes my system to crash. So here’s hoping for a short bout with this cold and to feeling better ASAP!
