The attack of the damn *BUG*

Just as my motivation soars to get this diet on the roll and get back into shape.. I had to come under the attack of the flu bug.

Day 2 of my diet and i was coughing away like there's no tmrw. I was sitting in a pile of tissue paper, in my bath robe looking no less than pathetic. I just hate the flu. You're not that sick till you can't function, but you're sick enough to stay home from work and be of no use.

My body works like a magic clock in terms of getting the flu. Every August , without fail for the past 3 years I have been sick. It's like my body tells the germs in the air... " hey, it s August.. We've given her a break for a year.. time to invade friends". And before i know it.. Kabum!!!! I'm sniffing the night away.

It's times like this where I truly appreciate Alexander Fleming for stumbling over penincillin.. the only weapon that would get rid of these bugs. Of course , when Im cramming my head full of AB info... i despise it and curse their very existence.. but oh no.. when im sick, I run to their aid..

Coming from a pseudo-medical family, I have been granted the opportunity to self-treat. My mum packed me a good supply of all types of AB ranging from penincillins, to bactrim, to cephlosporins.. one for each disease that I frequently come under. And of course, being a pharmacy student.. i managed to obtain some good ol decongestants with absolute ease.

Right now , I have about a million things that I know i should be doing. But .. im SICK !!!

So i ll just stay in bed.. put my warm robe on, sip on lemon tea and watch desperate housewives
( I did say I can still function :P ) ..

Toodles...

You poor gal!! Hope you get well soon. It's annoying with the bug. Anyway, we shall make another trip to Movida because someone said that it is worth going back again to try mushrooms and churros. :P I'm sure you can figure out who it is by now. ;)
