The stress of the last few month of transitioning and downsizing has my immune system completely out whack. While this climate is everything I&#8217;ve hoped for I left 30 degree weather behind along with my winter coat, long johns, boots, scarves and my gloves. Shorts, t-shirts and a smile &#8211; my new daily attire suits me so much better. I was a bit under the weather with a horrible sinus infection. Thank goodness I brought along some Tylenol Cold and Sinus medication. Just as I started to feel a bit better the coughing took over and I sounded like I&#8217;m was about to bring up a lung! I decided no Spanish class for me &#8211; don&#8217;t want to spread my germs. I continued to take the Tylenol but wake up in the middle of the night and had a hard time opening one eye &#8211; oh no Pinkeye! I quickly realized that I was really sick. I called my Taxi driver friend Randall Perez, Taxis Unidos de Grecia TAXI 59 (8533-5688) to take me to la farmacia. Not only did he stay with me to make sure I got my antibiotics but he brought me back to my apartment. I took the first round of pills and laid down only to be awaken hours later by a knock on the door &#8211; Randall with the best soup I&#8217;ve tasted in awhile. I am finding out very quickly that this was not an isolation incident, that these random acts of kindness happen all the time. Needless to say, the next day I was close to feeling 100 percent.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the last year I have been stressed out at work with a boss that I oh so wanted to punch him in the face!
