If the cold and flu season is a person, I'd beat it to a pulp. Make it bite on a curb and stomp on its head. Plus points for you if you get the American X reference.
Anyway, most of my colleagues at work are feeling under the weather. They were sneezing and coughing. I kept my mask on at all times when I work and I make sure I'm always hydrated. I've even added lemon in my water for some flavor. I also try to eat more veggies and meat and cut out processed food. Of course, I can't stop from drinking soda so I just make sure, I drink more water when I drink a can of soda.
I also try to stick to my sleep schedule and get enough rest. At work, I eat my lunch during my first 15 minute break and then spend my lunch time sleeping at my desk. IF I'm hungry by the time our second break comes, I eat a sandwich. If I'm not hungry, I try to take a power nap. Sleeping is a luxury many of us take for granted. I really wish our office has better sleeping quarters. I also find myself either washing my hands or sanitizing it more often. Same goes for the mouse and keyboard I use at work. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
I've also been more active. This past week, I've boxed three times and did weight training four times. Being active keeps my body and mind healthy.
Glad to be back here in myLot. See you around!

Sorry to hear about the Covid situation getting worse there in Australia.
Can't believe people actually think that this Covid situation is already over.

@allen0187 We went to a concert the other night - nearly all older folk but I reckon about half were wearing masks.

That;s the worse when everyone around you is sick. I always be like I am good at avoiding sickness, but not that good. I will see you all later when you all better. That is trick, but work makes you do things.

That works for me too.
You get healthy and better first before I mingle with you.

@allen0187 Normally, If I was sick, stay away from me. They make me come in sick. I am like I am sick, feel the freaking wrath. Who the freak wants sick people, corporate world apparently. Money can never wait, they do know its imaginary, a resource that will never serve a true purpose.

I got the reference and I loved that movie..controversial as it is
Yes you are taking good steps to stay healthy. Good job.
I don't drink soda..
At the first sign of a sniffly nose, I take something called Elderberry and Vitamin C.

Glad you love the movie Becca.
I'm taking 1,000mg of vitamin C every day and it has helped me a lot.
