As I get older, I start to recognize my body&#8217;s signs a lot easier. For instance, if I ever sneeze more than three times in one day? Sick. Like clockwork. I started to countdown my sneezes yesterday and decided I should sleep a little longer last night. <\/p>\n<p>I desperately wanted some comfort food. The kind that warms you up from the inside.
