Still Sick

I am still sick :(...... Severe allergies. Itchy painful eyes, dry irritating cough, clogged airways and alternating sneezing and runny nose.

I thought I was feeling better yesterday because I was able to go to Glorietta and Rockwell but I had a hard time waking up again this morning. I did not take any medication which would make me drowsy, but I am still a bit groggy. Not confident enough to drive yet.

I plan to make soup for tonight. I have pata in my freezer. The plan for that pata was Paksiw with saba banana and dried blossoms but Nilagang Pata sounds a better option.


I was talking to Jing on the phone and told her my symptoms. She said, all I need to do is drink lots of water. True enough, after drinking several glasses of water, I could feel my air passage clearing up! Aside from doctors, the next person to ask about these things are mothers! She has kids who suffer bad allergies also.

I hope to feel better soon. On the positive note, I am losing weight because I have no appetite. The pair of shorts I was wearing yesterday was so loose and almost fell down my ankles!

 

The Wriggly Chronicles

I am so glad Wriggly is so understanding. He had to sleep outside my room last night because I cannot breathe when he is inside. Today, I opened my bedroom door and he wanted to come in

 

but I told him that I am sick and if he could just bunk down in his bed which I placed just outside my room. We are 5 feet away from each other ... I told him, "Wriggly.... I can see you and you can see me." I guess that was enough for him.
