sick of being sick...

I'd been sick AGAIN... yes, not just again, but again and again... & i simply have no explanation... I fell sick on the week of Sep 6 2008 (when I moved into my new house)... then I fell sick again around Sep 23 2008, and I'd been sick for the past 4 days.... *sneeze* I had fever for the 1st 2 days, body ached like bird, and I thought I'd contracted dengue fever... it was horrible... till I went back to doc and asked her for a jab... Then the flu and cold heightened.... *atishoo*

My boss asked me why, my friends asked me why, my parents asked me why.... I ask myself why... and I can't find an explanation at all...

- lack of rest? Not really... my average sleeping time is about 11pm...
- stress about the financial crisis? Not really too (or so I think)...
- not taking care of myself enough? No leh... I'd been popping vitamins, taking Scotts Emulsion, drinking lots of "cooling" stuff, eating home-cooked (or rather, self-cooked) food...
- ah...maybe the housework...??? Maybe... just maybe... this is the only additional activity in my life that can get quite "siong" when I'm at it... But how bad can washing and scrubbing the toilet and glass shower screen do to my body....? My dear husband has asked me to go easy on the toilet-scrubbing... I am not sure I wanna bow down to the toilet so easily...
- lack of exercise? This is universal, isn't it? But ain't that toilet-scrubbing a form of strenuous exercise? I perspire like bird and feels so tired after that.... doesn't that feel or sound like exercise...? U are free to comment on this...

With this bout of sickness, I stayed in my mum's house for the past 4 days... with ready-cooked food, and my 2 nephews who never fail to entertain me.... My wonderful husband suggested that on the 1st day i fell sick, cos in his absence (to work), he wanted to make sure I was well taken care of...

Back to work tomorrow... my nose & ear are still blocked due to the cold... I'm starting to cough a lil... *cough*.. God, I dunno why.. but You must know what's happening... and it gives me comfort to know that You know why... maybe You are telling me to take care of my body and it manages the past-30 phase....

*sniff sniff cough cough*
