Weekend Flu Package

I try to take care of myself, I really do. In fact, I feel like I spend most of my time when I'm not working or dancing, doing just that. I eat well, I always wear a scarf outside in the winter, always wear slippers or socks inside, wash my hands, take my vitamins, stay active. So WHY am I sick for the third time this winter?!?!? Rex Arrow thinks it's stress and my body asking me to slow down. So this weekend, that's exactly what I did. I bundled up on the couch and read and read until I finished The History of Love, a beautiful and endearing novel that my brother (writer Nick Bakshi) gave me for Christmas. I watched Mad Men. I drank Theraflu(a last resort), lots of tea with honey, and ate grapefruits like an Olympic champion. I took a bath. Ahhh. And, best of all, when I regained my appetite, Rex took me to a dinner at my favorite restaurant, the cozy Vinegar Hill House, where I had Pulled Pork Cannelloni and Guinness Chocolate Cake w/cream cheese frosting for dessert. I certainly feel well rested, but I'm already antsy about when I can get back into dance class and move my body around. I finally feel that flu-y ache leaving my body, but I know I should take it real slow, I want to get better for good!
