An Apple A Day, Eh?

Thank you for all the get well wishes. I didn’t recover as soon as I’d expected. It took two trips to the doc and two rounds of antibiotics before I got better. And no, I didn’t cave in to my cravings, I’ve actually been eating apples daily for the past three weeks. Something else has cropped up so I’m going off to the doctor’s again later. Hmm…

Something’s Not Right

I dragged myself to the doctor’s office yesterday after a sleepless, breathless, wheezing, cough-filled night. My husband was diagnosed with bronchitis less than 2 week ago. He’s okay now but it seems that it’s my turn.

When I’m sick, I crave for all the things that’s bad for me – French fries, Ben & Jerry’s New York Super Fudge Chunk, Oreo cheesecake, icy-cold drinks – and none of that chicken soup or porridge thing. Right now, I could use some Famous Amos chocolate chip and pecans cookies. I really don’t know why but I don’t think alone in this (craving junk food when unwell).

Posting will resume when I’m better. Or when I get my ice-cream. :o

(Apparently I also have a habit of drawing when I’m sick)

After the Rain

The landscape is saturated with the smell of warm, wet grass. It was raining an hour ago. I’m going for a quick run.

Ouch Good Pain

One of my ex-colleagues pronounced the name of this bakery as “Auuw Bon Pain (as in painful and not pahn – the French word for bread)” and thought the words translated to “Ouch! Good Pain”. It was very cute and quickly became a running joke among us — every now and then someone would announce that he/she is “in the mood for a good pain”. :D

Today I’m in a lot of bad pain so good pain sounds like a great option. Well, in any case, it’s good to remember that this too shall pass.

Bright Spark In A Dark Place

I am in between health right now. At the moment I am battling brain fog and nausea so it’s a bit difficult for me to write coherently. I’ll be undergoing therapy the next few months and I look forward to getting better. :) The key for me now is to find things to be thankful for and concentrate on them:

1. My sense of humour is still intact – it’s wearing thick steel underpants!
2. I have the love and support from family and friends (offline and online) to keep me going.
3. I have developed a stronger sense of appreciation for good times and good health.
4. I’ve not lost the drive to draw. :)

Hello, Remember Me?

Hello everyone! I’ve not updated this blog for a week. It’s been a long time, eh? A whole week — that’s like 2 months in Internet reckoning?

I had been under the weather for some time and finally succumbed to the flu last Monday. I took a few days off work (and blogging) to rest and recover and got better mid-week. However, I have amassed a 50-layer work-pancake , which I’m still trying to slowly crawl out of today. :O

But…it’s good to be back! Thank you everyone for the get well wishes and for sticking around! :D
