somewhat sille, that's me!

i was supposed to be making this:

garlic and lemon roasted chicken with potatoes


but the chicken ended up being an ingredient in this:

chicken lotus root soup with peanut, red dates and wolfberries

which is still very yummy but for the circumstances about it. cos you see...

arggghhhh..

i'm all miserable and whiny now. it started with that tiny cough on Tuesday evening just before i met up w FL in bangsar (glad to finally meet up, and again, congrats re. the bun in the oven! :D) -- i knew the moment i coughed that cough that it was not a good sign.

by the time i met up w my parents and bro (who came back for a quick visit) on Wed nite (ate in serdang.. yummy!), the itchiness has flared up..

Thursday night i was a good girl and stayed in, but the cough persisted. i'd begun taking cough syrup (remainder from a previous visit) - it was the non-drowsy type so i was kept awake until i slept from tiredness.

by Fri morn, it was *coughcoughcough* and when i got into the office, i felt feverish. saw the doc, got a half day MC, hung on for a meeting after lunch (thankfully, it ended early) and left for home by 3. hubby said he cld pick me from work but as the weekend coincided with the PC fair, driving to town is insane so i took the train.. got home by 4ish. had lunch/dinner. spoke to chongy for a bit (which reminds me that by now she kinda owes me a story :D) and went to bed by 6.

slept til 3ish when my fever came back and got me really restless. i was going up and down the stairs going to the loo, drinking water, taking panadol (i just finished a whole strip in 24 hours argh) and more cough syrup, re-cooling the ice pak each time it got warm, switching on and off the aircond to adjust to my body temp, and generally waking my hubby up each time i move about. arggghhh...

hubby woke up at 6 to go hiking at bukit gasing -- about the same time i fell back into prolonged sleep.. got up and 11ish, stayed in bed til 4ish. watched the Informant! (matt damon ooh) nose started to get runny and itchy. went for music prac nevertheless (i hope i didn't infect anyone -- i stayed far away from everyone). came home aft prac. drank soup (yums!) and now. in bed. miserable. argh. ARGGH.

i feel like my weekend's been robbed! noooooOOOoOoOoOoo.. why? WHY??

/end rant/

God, i pray that tonight's sleep will restore health to my body. thank you that my body is working hard at combating whatever germs and diseases i've caught.
