Male Female

I would like to tell you about one day, one particular day when I felt very ill. I would say that it was recently on a weekend. I woke up and was doing my daily routine, having breakfast and cleaning my room. Suddenly, at one moment, I felt fatigued. I couldn't understand why it happened, so I decided to continue doing my usual activities. After a few minutes, I realized that I was getting a fever. So, I decided to have a short nap. After that, I slept for a long time. When I woke up, I realized that I had lost my appetite. Because of this, I was forced to cancel my meeting with my friends since I was under the weather. To be honest, everything was going according to my plan, so I was totally disappointed because of this. Also, I really dislike being inactive because I always prefer to maintain a healthy lifestyle and do sports all week. But that day, I realized that I had stopped.
