I said I needed a vacation and now I’m actually getting one. It’s not the kind I wanted but being able to stay home on a workday is still okay.

I ran in the rain at the Rock and Run race last Saturday. I thought my body was invincible enough to stand the cold. I still went to work on Monday but that night my body finally gave up. I was practically chained to the lavatory, sneezing, coughing and throwing up. I had fever by Tuesday and could hardly get out of bed.

It didn’t help that Kernan also left for the land far, far away yesterday. What timing eh?

Good thing my girls have been well-behaved and keeping me company. Jamaine keeps reminding me to take Biogesic while Kalia has taken the task of wiping my nose. Thanks too for wifi and Twitter on my mobile, being bedridden was quite bearable.

I’m still lying on the bed as I write this while my girls are watching Lilo and Stitch for the nth time this week.

Thank God for paid sick leaves.

I’m feeling better today but I still have the pestering coughs. Kernan also called this morning to check on me which made me feel even better.

Hopefully, tomorrow I’ll be good as new.

In the meantime, I’ll imagine I’m here:

How’s your week so far?
