I missed all the fun Earth Day stuff on Saturday because I was sick all weekend (and still am... I'm home from work today).

I'm not sure why I got sick, but it's mainly in my lungs and throat. I don't want to be paranoid, but pollution really affects me badly (trying to reduce it is why I started this page and the Metropass Affinity Program), and it may be the cause of this.

I biked the long way home on Wednesday and Thursday, biking beside the car-clogged Lakeshore Boulevarde for long stretches of time, and I was coughing a lot on Thursday.

Friday, I was at work with a very rough voice and a tight dry throat. Saturday I woke up and couldn't breathe very well and my sinuses were clogged, low energy, etc.

It's good that this is happened, because it reminds me that I'm encouraging biking and transit and less pollution for people with respiratory diseases and children with asthma.
