Still sick.
The cough disappered for two days only to return yesterday. It's now an asthmatic type of cough and I had to use the inhaler last night. Had to turn down another invitation to lunch with the Family. The coughing really makes me feel shitty. The tummy area around where abs are supposed to be has suffered most terribly. Feels likes someone made me to do a thousand sit ups last night and then kicked me in the guts. Damn is coughing a strenuous activity.
Having been confined at home for the past two weeks, (not counting bringing hubert to yamaha on monday) I haven't seen anyone except my grandmother, brother, maid and the doctor. Wonder what's happening in the world out there. Boon says on her blog that jun is in hong kong. When did that happen? Xinying is easier to keep track of as she regularly posts the soppy events of her melodramatic life on her blog.
My energy level has been very low. This is the first time in days that I've enough energy to use the computer.
The doctor has put me on my third course of antibiotics. The pill is bright yellow and supposed to be a very strong japanese brand. Doctor appeared perplexed by my illness and asked if I have recently visited anyone in hospital. I think he suppects I've got some new superbug as the past 3 bottle of cough medicine and 2 antibiotics haven't worked. If this new course of medicine doesn't work, I'm going to check myself into hospital and let them pump me full of all the antibiotics in the world.
Even as I am suffering and lying on my death bed, my parents and sister are having a great time down under. The asshole of a sister just emailed me pictures of the huge lobsters and scallops they are eating. She put her soft toy next to the lobsters for scale comparison and boy are they big!
The evening before I got the asthmatic cough, I took adela's rabbits down for a run. (irony of it all, the very creatures I want to eat). This boy, one of her friends came up to me and said, " Adela, what happened to you? Why you look so pale?" I looked up at the strange kid and it was some moments before he realised his mistake and scuttled away. Blind children people have nowadays. He was right about the pale part though, being cooped up at home and out of the sun has caused me to become even fairer than I was before. And the sickness contributes an interesting greenish pallor to the overall dead creature look.
