Tips on how to worsen your insomnia #3

I haven't written anything on here in so long that I've almost forgotten how to formulate a blog post. At least 15 minutes have passed since I opened the 'new post' tab and still my mind insists on remaining shut, my fingers disabled from typing anything half decent to read. Introductions were never my strong point, you see. Neither in literature nor in the realm of the living. My procrastinatory skills, however, are far from lacking as one may or may not have noticed, and I oft find myself repeating the words -Focus, Vic. Stick to your topic.- So, here's to another post about things which fail to be kind on the insomniac soul.

It's cold out and the rain hasn't even considered taking a break. Queue long speech about childhood and times spent reminiscing about England. I had a post about that somewhere, possibly on the music-love-peace blog, but alas I can't seem to find it. Right, back to today's topic of discussion. It's cold, it's rainy, it's Malta. 'Why did she mention Malta?' you ask. Here is the answer-

I spent the weekend in Gozo. Enjoying the sunshine, greenery and overall Mediterranean weather. I come back to Malta late Sunday night and awake Monday morning to find dull clouds and humid pavements. Conflict of weather causes conflicts of Internal Body Temperature which in turn causes sickness. Here it is, people, the climax of this post. The next tip for aggravation of sleeping problems: I got sick.

After much time spent rolling about in bed, too restless to sleep yet too exhausted to get up, it was concluded by Madre Superiora that I was coming down with the Flu. Not the common cold caused by Rhino-viruses, but 'Influenza' an RNA Virus that travels through the Peripheral Nervous System making you feel like utter shit. Symptoms include a mental fever, pain all over the body, coughing and headaches among others.

I feel I have ranted on long enough, so to sum it all up- It's cold, it's rainy, it's Flu season. Do yourself a favour and try not to get sick, else fear the rath of many a sleepless night.

With this I leave you,
