NOTE TO SELF: REST

I woke up today with colds and a really bad headache. I'm sick AGAIN. I blame it on the fact that I haven't been taking care of myself lately. The past week, I went home late every night, on account of which, I seem to have developed a bad case of insomnia. So I've been sleeping late (if at all) and waking up early. And then last Friday and yesterday, I was out until 3:00 am even though I knew I had to be up really early the following day.

I know that my body couldn't keep up anymore with the schedule I used to keep five years ago. I know I can't afford anymore to go sleepless for two consecutive nights the way I did when I was in law school. I know I shouldn't be out almost every night of the week especially when I can foresee that my weekend would be full. But still, I do it. And for reasons I don't understand.

So now, I'm paying for it. I have to get well in time for the RLTC in Baguio on Wednesday. Which means I have to go to work tomorrow to finish the case I'm working on before Wednesday. But based on my current state ( I think it's the start of a bad flu), it looks like the only things I'd be doing for the next several days are sleep, rest and contemplate on how I badly need a major lifestyle change. I can almost hear my mom saying, "I told you so."
