Tired of vegging!

I have had bronchitis for most of the week. Maybe a litle pneumonia.
Anyway, I have just felt lousy!
There are certain things I need to do so that I do not get sick so much. I need to refrain from eating foods that my Doctor and nutritionist tell me that I am allergic to. Somehow, they represent some comfort to me - but then I end up sick.
I need to like and support myself more. Anybody else ever gone through this kind of thing?
Ther is so much I want to do and learn and I can't do it if I am laid out with illness!!
My daughter suggested that I seek blogging buddies who are interested in some of the same things I am ---
Genealogy (esp. gooing back to old New England)
Choral Music
Health, Alternative Medicine, Mind-Body work
Being a late bloomer
Vacations
So--- if anyone is lurking out there and would like to respond, go ahead and post. I won't bite!!
