Breath-taking Antagonism

You Can Heal Your Life is suggested reading in Happiness for Dummies and my friend, Hazira, has a version of this book, Heal Your Body so it was already on my radar.

When I went to visit Lori, another friend, the book was on the countertop and we started looking through it together.

I had gone to retrieve You Can Heal Your Life from the library when I almost busted my kneecap. Ironic, ain't it?

I decided to request You Can...because Lori and I had such a fun time looking through the little blue book (Heal Your Body) portion of it.

I was gonna read the whole book but, alas, my interest was mainly with the blue book portion of it.

What had Lori and I laughing?

I actually have something that I cannot heal right now. I started feeling off on Sunday and it's been downhill since then. I've been mostly horizontal, headachy and enduring chills (Mental contraction, pulling away and in. Desire to retreat. "Leave me alone."). My eyeballs even hurt. I can't remember the last time that I was sick like this and I'm hoping whatever my body is trying to shake off will make its exit soon. I can't take too much more of aching.
