What happened? I know what happened... I got sick from the inevitably enormous mental, physical, and emotional stress last week. I knew I would get through it ok, but did I want to? NO. I was already very anxious in the weeks leading up to last week. On one hand, I feel liberated now that part is over, but on the other hand, what comes next? At this stage of my life, I strive to maintain a good relationship with my body and listen to it carefully. However, after this level of anxiety and stress, getting sick afterward is unavoidable.
I have been coughing day and night for a few days, and I woke up this morning with a yes-definitely-sick sick feeling. I immediately thought of -and reminisced about - 국밥 gookbop 🍚 🥣 or any type of Korean hot soup, not the WholeFoods’ ready-to-eat Chicken soup or anything like it.
Whenever I get sick, ever since I started living in New York 25 years ago - WOW, this number still hasn't sunk in for me - I even ended up disliking it when somebody mentions ‘chicken soup’ at me, which is a symbol of American comfort food for sickness. Because in my heart, head, and body, I am desperately longing for my mom’s 소고기 무국 sogogi moo gook - as I write this, I'm pouring lemon juice into my mouth instead.
This morning, I woke up to that feeling again… and this time, was thinking it might not be so bad if I had a man in my life who would make the soup for me and sit next to me while I slurp the soup for comfort. But only that time ... just that time ... 🤔💭
Here is the Cozy OOTD for a NOT-SO-WELL Day. I went for anything cozy and easy, putting them on in 5 minutes, and thought I would share it with all of you. 😎
