AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY

...as they say. What do you usually do when you feel you are coming down with flu? Do you take any medication, get enough sleep and rest a little more than usual? Or maybe you just take a sick leave and stay in? Autumn and pseudo winter in our country are definitely infectious seasons. It is difficult to avoid picking up infections at work or in other public places. And how is it possible that, even though I've been living in the countryside all my life, I have become allergic to nobody knows what (I was diagnosed allergy-based runny nose). The GP said there was nothing to worry about and I would make a full recovery. She prescribed the right treatment but didn't refer me to a specialist. Although I seemed to be recovering, I suddenly took turn for the worse. 

I felt a bit under the weather and ended up longing for a holiday to recharge my batteries.
