I had a bad cold last week. I always seem to get colds when the seasons change. Usually I get colds in early autumn. I wanted to stay in bed all day every day and sleep, but I had to work. Luckily, I work for myself, so I could take breaks whenever I wanted.

At first, I thought it was hay fever, because now is “hay fever season” in Japan. Then I began to feel worse, and I had a fever, so I knew it was a cold. I took medicine, but it didn’t really work. So I ate chocolate, and that made me feel better! Maybe chocolate is not the best medicine, but taking care of yourself is important when you are sick. I took care of myself by eating what I wanted.

Sleep is also important, so I went to bed early every night. I slept very well. I think my body and mind were tired. Hopefully I won’t catch another cold this year.
