I Want My Golden Voice Back
I’ve been absent from my job for four days straight and this has been the longest sick leave I’ve ever had. Imagine how much money I lost from being sick. I don’t want to think about it cos right now I’m more concerned about getting my (golden) voice back. The aftermath of cold or flu. It seemed that me and hubby were attacked by some kind of virus these past few days and thank God, it wasn’t strong enough to kill us. It came unnoticed and left unnoticed, chooo, chooo!
I’m feeling better now, up and running. But my voice sounds terrible. I had a chat today with my sweet family in Davao and they were all surprised to hear my cracking voice. “What happened to your voice?” Then followed by “drink some lemon” and “drink much water”. Thanks very much my dearies. I needed your comforting thoughts at times like this.
And thank you too, my well-wishers for your kind thoughts. Now, I need some tea with honey to perhaps soothe my throat. I missed those small “calamansi” pressed into juice.
Sick Of Cold On A Monday Morning
To call in sick on a Monday morning is not really a good start of the week. Ahh, this cold strucks me again and this time’s not getting any better. With fever and headaches, muscular pains and backaches. How could I endure the day when I’d feel all of these early in the morning. I knew it the moment I went to bed last night, I felt a chill creeping inside me and I was shaking a bit under my blanket. I said I should take medicine before it would get worse. But it’s a situation out of control. One moment I was groaning in pains, the other moment I was sneezing and coughing bad.
Drinking a lot of water would help in some instances but the pains and aches take some time to disappear. I thought I needed massage as what we usually do in Davao, but no one could do it to me here, not even hubby who’s not keen on such thing. I got this ointment that my sister bought for me and it helps, but I could not stand the smell, yacks! I have been trying to get used to it’s disgusting smell.
Medicine, medicine and more medicine to get rid of this dreadful cold. It’s the only thing I could do now and hope it would help me feel better soon. I just have to get some sleep and see if I feel any difference when I wake up tomorrow. Otherwise, I have to stay in bed and let this cold disappear anytime it wants.
