iNfirmity

I have been sick with a cold/sinus infection/virus for nearly 1 month now. It is preposterous.
The festive season has crippled me!

If it were any other time of the year, I would stay home and probably recover in a matter of days. But since it's christmas and new years, I went out every couple of days. And the days in between I wasn't out, I was delirious with sickness.
I would recover slightly, then go out again, empower the bacteria's hold over me, and wake up the next morning feeling like s***.

Here's the first instance of the cycle.
Three Thursdays ago, I developed a sore throat and was rapidly losing my voice.
-> Friday the 19th, we had our end of year BBQ for yg. So we're all hanging out outside and it was quite chilly iirc.
--> Saturday, I wake up with my throat absolutely decimated and call my boss (my mum), with a very convincing gravelly voice, telling her I can't work that morning, so I stay home all day trying to recover, and I start taking a bit of Codral.
---> Sunday, I have developed a runny nose, and I have church in the morning, so I go and cough all over the PA system. And THEN AT NIGHT, I go to the Christmas party at Elisa's, chat my head off, get mascara (or whatever it was) put on by Cat and obliterate my throat further.
----> Monday morning I cannot remember too well. Needless to say, I was deliiirious and I would've honed my nose-dripping skills further.

TADA!

I sincerely apologize to ng and my sister for probably spreading something to them. :(

I can't wait to be healthy again. Hoorah! :)
