Week 20, 2009 - Mostly ill...

Took my first sick day this year on Wednesday, when I felt like crap cos I had been up half the night cos of the inflammed tonsils and fever I couldn't sleep. Got to stay home and watch daytime TV, which is always a good thing. Must remember to lay off the dairy.

Got free Escada perfume - Ocean Lounge from the MDG blogger contest on Wednesday, thanks to the sibling for making the trip down to Nuffnang's KL office. But the first note was too sweet for my taste (reminds me of those cherry flavoured meds) and the smell lingered a little too long for a EDT. Mum's got it now, but am not sure if she wants it for herself, or else I'm thinking of hawking it.

Got my Kuru Toga v2.0 in the mail Thursday, which I liked more than v1.0.

Wasn't too well this week: Been coughing so hard from the inflamed throat (then tonsils) some of the muscles (I didn't know I had) in the abdominal area hurts, which makes the coughing hurt more. D'oh. It was so bad I saw the doctor TWICE - the second trip was to get the MC and antibiotics that I didn't get the first time. It's not just me - the 'rents are also coughing, and they've had it a little longer than me. Doesn't help that we keep each other up at night with the coughing.

Speaking of eating, I've been having a load of soup and porridge (which is usually "sick people food"... then again, am not exactly in the pink of health at the moment ANYWAY...). Nothing improves the taste of plain porridge like Bovril. Mmm. Been packing the leftover porridge to work cos I can't be arsed to go outside to look for lunch and sweat like nuts in the afternoon sun. The weather's so hot you HAVE TO switch on the a/c, but the dry air keeps triggering the coughs. No win situation.

Malicious me has been coughing on everything I've touched in the office this week, hoping the boss might get infected at some point. Yes, I have a mean streak - so shoot me. Must remember to wipe down desk with antibacterial wipes tomorrow.
