Three Things Challenge #MM490

HAMSTER • HAM • HAMSTRING

Sometimes life has a funny sense of humour.

Today’s words made me laugh because whenever my salivary glands flare up, I jokingly call it my “hamster disease.”

My cheeks puff out until I look as though I’ve been hiding snacks for the winter!

Thankfully, there’s no actual hamster involved.

Just an unwelcome flare-up that usually means it’s time to slow down and look after myself.

As for ham, that’s definitely off the menu while my glands are sore!

And being hamstrung by a flare-up can be frustrating.

It reminds me that sometimes our bodies decide the pace, whether we agree or not.

So today, I’m choosing laughter over frustration.

A little rest.

A little self-care.

And the hope that my “inner hamster” decides it’s had enough snacks and goes back into hiding soon.
