My flight home and this Sunday (19th) gone just like that!

Haven’t been the 100% me since we got back from Japan

During flight

Fell sick one hour before boarding the plane. Thanks to hubby who passed it to me. I can only say it’s him coz he carelessly left his mucus filled tissue paper next to me when he was sick. 每次不会注意卫生。Sigh….

Felt cold so borrowed hubby’s fleece top. Took Tylenol and fell asleep when boarding, which I don’t think it’s the medication causing drowsiness but rather I was over-exhausted. For the record, I was only awake for 15mins or less for my meal which was served after take off. Not sure if drinks were served but lao niang was oblivious to what was happening. I was roused from my sleep when I heard some noise, the CS was asking lil’ one her choice and served her first on the way out. It took me some time to register what was happening coz I thought all meals are served at the same time then I heard him saying he’s coming back for us adults later. Haha! I wanted to tell him she’s 18years old leh! Slept so much that I didn’t even register the complimentary wifi. Woke up for another 5mins after a lull period as I needed to go to the toilet and stretch out my legs. Ehh..how long was the flight time? 7hrs plus. I slept so much on the plane. 

Tested

Nope! Not Covid. Tho with all the variants now, I wonder how accurate the tests are. 

Camping outside

Last year the girls camped outside, this year I camped outside. The man is still coughing so i guess it makes no bloody difference that we’re going to cross-infect each other. I didn’t sleep in the same room as I didn’t want the aircon, it always make my stuffy nose worse. Slept outside for 3 nights, lugging that heavy mattress from lil’ one’s room. No joke man! Was thinking to self that next time if I need to isolate myself from hubby then how? Should I buy a foldable mattress? It’s going to be huge and I have no place to put in the bomb shelter. During one of the camping out night I went online and bought a mattress protector just for the sofa. Yup! I will sleep on the sofa next time. I am able to keep the protector together with the rests of our bed protector in the shelf, thus will not worry about where to put it. 

Back at home

As we all know cough usually take a long time to recover. I was not only coughing and nursing a runny nose as well, for some unexplainable reason nothing seems to agree in my tummy. I wonder how is it that I have more output than input but yet didn’t lose weight. The cold damp weather only made it worse for me. Plus housework, with CNY looming close, heater rack spoilt, all the extra work in getting clothes dry. I have no idea when I will handwash the sweaters and thermal, it’s late this year. Normally I get everything washed within a week including the sports shoes but not this time. It’s impossible with the rainy weather and spoilt heater, I might end up with moldy shoes and sweaters. 

Not doing any Ōsōji in particular coz cleaning in my home is an ongoing process. But it’s me trying hard to close two eyes to the mess in the home lor. Should I nurse my health or die over-exerting myself? 

CNY

Also no mood lor! With things happening, who have the celebratory mood for CNY? I just want to pass the day quietly and rest. 

It took me days to put up the decorations and I didn’t have many coz I was not going to stick anything on the wall from now on. 2025 is almost like 2022’s CNY where we only have two weeks to CNY after returning from our trip.

This year not buying any NY goodies as we always end up throwing them away as nobody eats them, now our house looks just like any other day except just a bit of red deco. 

And …. I just remembered didn’t shop for new clothes!! Haiyah! 算了吧！not like we’re going anywhere also. 

Sleepy, lethargic, sleepy on a Sunday (19th)

Doctor prescribed hubby Metophan (cough mixture) on Wednesday and he said it’s pretty effective and asked me to try. I hesitated until last night (18th). I drank and past one in the morning I woke up and vomitted. Wah! Stayed awake for the next 2 hours feeling sleepy and queasy, didn’t want to choke on my own vomitus in my sleep 🤣. Woke up doing just the minimum housework and then nuah. Ate my lunch and fell asleep in the living room.  I have no idea when hubby left the living room switching off the TV, I woke up at 1+pm and decided to lie down on the sofa and woke up from deep sleep at least twice and went back to sleep. The next time I woke at 6pm, I dragged myself up. Took a late shower and had my dinner. Now at 8.20pm I’m feeling sleepy again. No more cough syrup for sure. I don’t want to end up vomiting in the morning again. How many more days will I continue to feel so lethargic? Is this the 所谓 - 老了很难病好？🤨
