I almost always get sick over the holidays - between plane rides and being in close quarters with a ton of other people during bad weather, it seems inevitable.
Fortunately, this is just a cold + skin conditions this time around and not something more serious. Ralph postponed his flight home and went to Urgent Care, but I think it's kind of pointless to go to the doctor for this kind of stuff. The last time I sought medical treatment for an illness, I'd fractured my rib from whooping cough and the only advice I got was that it would heal when I stopped coughing. Great. Thanks. Take my money.
(Before you take my advice, you should also know that my avoidance of doctors also led to me getting a kidney infection and a poorly-healed broken finger. There are some things you should go to the doctor for. Nash says I get such lackluster treatment because I downplay how severe my symptoms are, so next time I'll try complaining more.)
Anyway, the sickness was annoying enough that I didn't want to deal with the hours-long uploading process. Instead, it meant I got to read my book and lurk on other people's Steemit posts, which was really fun! I still filmed some clips each day, so this is a compilation of my last 3 days in Billings. We spent massive amounts of time socializing in spite of the germs, and since I'm still not comfortable filming other people mostly all you get to see is the boring stuff anyway. Sorry bout that.
If you are also ill during this time of year, my sympathies go out to you and I hope you feel better soon!
