Occasional sniffing. Check.
Runny nose (now when did it ever learn to jog?). Check.
Watery eyes that ironically feels hot. Check.
Coughing (barking is more like it) that hurts the throat like hell, at the same time inducing a mild headache or side stitch. Check.
Aaaachoooooo! Check!
Okay, if I were in nursery school, I'd probably get three stars stamped on the back of my hand for doing well. But I am not doing well, and I suppose these are good enough reasons to go home early. That, or stay half of the time in the office restroom, dabbing my face with cold water just to soothe the stinging in my eyes and wash off the tears.
Yep, I have contracted the virus circulating at this time of the year, when the weather cannot decide whether to stay cool or not. Sometimes, it feels like it's already summer, and then it rains in the afternoon when it's not supposed to be the rainy season yet. The times are changing indeed....literally. And I thought I was adapting quite well because it has been quite a while since I popped medicines for cough and colds and some antibiotics to add flavor. Well, here I am with these blue and green "candies" courtesy of the nurse. Don't they just look cute? My two favorite colors. Makes taking medicine more fun! Except that, taking medicines was never fun for me, particularly those big tablets that would take half a liter of water just to shove it down my throat. Still, I have to be thankful that I was given capsules and not hard tablets that I need to chew, depending on the size. Cough syrup would have been better, my favorite is the orange flavored one.
Forgive me, I am not having a senile moment here. I am probably just a bit delirious. Or simply making fun of myself here. I actually feel feverish now, but I guess that's just the virus dancing around with my antibodies.
I guess I better finish this hot tea (Surprise! It's not coffee) to down the blue capsule and head home in a while. Uggghhhhhh! (gagging at the antibiotic I just took) I think this calls for a much needed rest. Hope tomorrow would be a feel-better day for me. Hopefully by then, my thoughts are more coherent.

I know how that feels, Brewed. But I didn't get my recent bout with the flu from the virus in the air like you did. Rather, I got mine because I got drenched last weekend. Yup, I love the rain but I hate getting sick. :) Oh well, I hope you get well soon. Take care, Brewed.
Yay,I'm late,lol! At least now for sure you're already feeling well sis! Take care always!
Be safe always !!
