I have flu
October 20th, 2014
To stay in bed while everybody goes to work it feels something quite good. It does make you feel special and excited. There are reasons while that happens and that is in my case because I am an actor and when I work everybody else is normally enjoying their free time.
It is not only the actor profession, waiters, policemen, etc, there are many professions like that.
This time I stay in bed because I have the flu. Yes, I have the flu.
It is something normal and something that happens to me every year or around this time when the weather should be cold but it is not cold when the weather should be wet but it is not wet and when the weather is hot when it should be cold, I mean the autumn.
Yes, it does look really good, it is full of pretty pictures of nature but it is really boring to experience in your body.
Perhaps that best feeling that there is, is the moment when you feel a light cold in your skin for the first time after the summer. You may be sitting down normally enjoying the end of the summer. You have gone out and you are out drinking beer and talking to your friends and suddenly the hair of your skin gets erected. You tremble and instinctively you pass your hand over the skin in your arms. That give a small comfort, it is all it needs. Psychologically speaking something deep has changed, our animal body is ready to face the winter and your body is starting the slow process of heating up.
Perhaps when I was a young man I will have a much more exciting experience of these moments mainly because I will spend most of my time on the streets. That moment was the moment to start to go out with a jacket not just to be cool but to be warm.
I tried to go to beach, better say I tried to get into the water this morning but as I arrived the sea was quite big and I could feel the breeze getting colder and colder and that was stronger than my desire of going out. Even with my flu and with the fact that I am not going to close to sea for quite a while. The beach was beautiful and the sun was shinning, the waves were beautiful but too big and my body was tired of fighting the flu.
Now I have flu and the winter is coming.
