i had many plans over the weekend but they all kind of got sidetracked because i woke up friday morning to a fever. it was really pretty bad because while running a fever, my left eye and a portion of my upper jaw was in pain. driving myself to the ER was no walk in the park and i had to close my eyes everytime i stopped because of the traffic. thank God mom was there to accompany me to the hospital. imagine my relief when they shot me with a strong painkiller, paracetamol and two other stuff. instant gratification. i got my prescription antibiotics too.

its one of the things i worry about if i live alone. at least at home, when i feel sick, i know there's people who will be taking care of me. friday, i kind of felt helpless, well maybe not totally (remember, i still managed to drive) but having mom around was a relief. if i lost consciousness, at least there was someone left to call for help. so its times like this when independence feels overrated.

suffice it to say, being sick made me housebound the whole weekend (today included) and i watched too many shows that my brain feels kind of stumped already. it'd be great to go back to work tomorrow (or not!) because the change in scenery is something i need. okay, so i might regret that as the week progresses but hey its a short workweek so there's only four days left to work. yay for that.

while cleaning my room today, i realized there are a LOT of things i still need to take care of before the year ends - work stuff, personal stuff. i've been putting off rationalizing i didn't have the free time to work through them. i really need to calendar them soon.

meeting malousky in a while. some long overdue chit chat - over yummy charlie chan chicken pasta (adik!) and coffeee and dessert. the one good thing about getting sick is that i can eat anything. but that's me.
