i caught a cold. of all things to catch.
anyway, yes. last night, i started feeling 'flu-ish'. but i thought it'd go away. this morning at work, it turned into a major cold@flu attack. and yet i couldn't take leave and go home. not that i couldn't because the office wouldn't let me, but i couldn't because i have so much to do and so many people to see [for work].
i was actually mentally trying to 'fit' the sick leave in! i mean, how bad is that? i have events and things to do everyday that i actually tried to sort a time-to-rest-and-recover day in. well, i realized;
today : nope. got a morning and aft appointment
tomorrow: nope. another morning appointment
friday: nope. a movie screening i have to do
and then i realized, by then it's saturday. what's the point. i would surely have recovered by then. yucks. this IS how bad city life can be. you get so caught up with work and life that sometimes, some things, you just don't know where to fit in.
so yeah. crazily, i have no time to be sick.
p.s. tissue in hand while typing and working

Well, Grace, why don't you just tie a string on your finger and be done with this cold!
I hope you're feeling better in the morning.
haha you know what?
the chinese method for curing fever and cold is by wrapping yourself in layers and layers of blanket to sweat it out. in other words, detox. it actually works too. but i already felt horrible enough without the sweat so i had to endure one day of being ill.
But it would be difficult to wrap yourself in all those blankets since you refused to leave work. Wouldn't you look funny wrapped up like a cocoon lying on the floor by your desk! But at least you'd be lying down, which is perhaps what you most needed to do.
So you are feeling better now?
