Diary of an illness

Saturday. Big Wet sneezes. General air of low grade misery. Blame it on allergies.

Sunday. Mucus mucus everywhere! Require afternoon nap. Use up entire box of aloe vera tissues. Cook up a luscious veggie and bean stew thing. Unable to taste it.

Monday. Overnight, the mucus has turned a yellowish-green. Very fashionable. Yellow is very in! Wake up every two hours to dispense of nose gunk. Start coughing. Uhoh! Inhale plenty of asthma medication in the hope that it will not turn into bronchitis this time. Stay at home and proceed to burn my cheap frying pan (and eggy remains) down to charred rusty mess by forgetting to turn the stove off. Also spill contents of jar of raw honey onto rug. Do two loads of laundry (including rug) and stagger inside, winded from exertion and sunlight. Fantasize about homemade chicken soup with fresh ginger. Mmmmm....

Cheer up a little by looking at absolutely gorgeous rattie photos while drinking troublesomely-gotten ginger, lemon and honey tea.

Hmm!
