October is really a month full of turbulence …
Sick Sick Sick … everyone’s falling sick. It started from my aunt who developed a cough and flu, then the kids caught the flu, next was my mom who came down with a nasty sore throat and high fever … and I had gastric problems …
Few days ago, my bro caught the flu bug and had a fever … his symptoms didn’t subside and got worse that he was sent to the hospital yesterday and was put on drip. Right now, I am down with flu and slight fever.
They took meds, saw doctors and tried not to spread the bug around but somehow this bug was nasty. I realize how worried and concerned when one is sick in my family, constant calling, sponging with cold water, providing food and fetching them to the clinic but the fact is… all these are distant to me. Since young, whenever I am sick, no matter how drowsy I am, I drag myself to the clinic on my own and pretty much take care of myself. Probably due to the independence I have shown all these years that everyone kind of leave me alone. Of course, they still call and check on me but what I meant is usually I am on my own when I am sick.
Hahaha! I just take medication, sleep and prepare food for myself. It is a routine that I am so familiar with. I do yearn for someone to take care of me, give me a warm hug, cook a bowl of congee or cover me with a blanket when I am shivering but … the someone now can only be Myself … Hahaha! No worries aite, I am a tough cookie.
While typing this, I am feeling a throbbing pain in my head and the massive drilling noise from the upgrading works is making it worse. Wanted to nap a little but I cannot. I have to doubly clean the house and disinfect the place to provide a clean and hygenic environment for all.
It’s scrubbing time!
