Fragments of Disjointed Thoughts

Hello everybody! Yes, I do know I’ve been MIA for so long, nobody misses me anymore

Yes, I have moved and survived the move. I’m in the midst of unpacking, yes I know I own a lot of junk and have been systematically getting rid of things so there is a big improvement. I’m going to be spending the rest of the month organising things and then packing to go back to Malaysia.

I’ve just put a bottle of blonde hair dye into my hair tonight. I know it won’t turn out blonde but I was aiming for light brown so we’ll see how it goes in sunlight tomorrow. I’m a bit zonked cause I’ve had a long day and driving back and forth to Rockingham (1 hour+ each way cause of the rain and traffic) and we went back there again just now for more clients. So if you hear me act like a bogan or talk like a bogan, you’ll know why.

Well, the update for today is that I managed to get soaking wet going to Rockingham, which is definitely my least favourite place in the world at the moment. I get out of the car and it decides to bucket down and there were huge puddles of water (I’m not joking, I’m talking like about 1 inch deep puddles) and I managed to get soaked. My pants were dripping wet from knees to foot, jacket was drenched and I was wearing a thin shirt. Not the best idea in that kind of weather. The weather is bloody weird, its supposed to be end of spring and it just buckets down! And it was freezing too. Walking around in wet clothes is probably the worst feeling. I guess I’ll definitely be packing lots of extra clothing in my car from now on.

Anyways, today is a pretty good day apart from that. I guess I found out things about myself that I have forgotten, like how I used to be a control freak and have finally given in to the fact that I can’t control every aspect of my life and to take things as they come along. I guess I’m finally coming to grips that I can’t control everything and things will just have to be the way it is and that I shouldn’t obsessing over my future and the way things in life work. Live and let live.

Me thinks I need a holiday. 16 days and I’m off!! Now, to find someone who is willing to drop me to the airport. Please?? Pretty pretty please?

I admit, I’ve been thoroughly lazy lately. Ever since I fell sick, everything too a back burner and the most important thing was for me to get well again. While I was on the mend I was back at work but still taking things a bit easy as I was still coughing like crazy.

So here’s the 411 on my situation (always wanted to say that, teehee ):
I was diagnosed with asthmatic bronchitis on 090909 by another doctor. He also said that my nose was caused by the Sudafed the other doctor prescribed. Also, he put me on 2 more course of antibiotics and added another antibiotic to my regime. He told me the other doctor shouldn’t have prescribed me with the Symbicort puffer as it contains steroid but should have put me on Ventolin instead as I was wheezing quite badly. I have residual wheezing but have stopped the inhaler as steroids scare the crap out of me. Which reminds me, the antibiotics messed up my digestive system (normal side effect) so as a result I have 2 ulcers in my mouth and my eating habits are somewhat varied.

Its been a month to the day since I got sick and I have been so out of whack that I have not gone back to my workaholic habits. It feels so strange to sit and read a book for hours at night just so I don’t have to strain myself thinking and worrying about things.

I’ve picked up the pace today: cleaned my room and sorted out some documents that had to be filed and put away, cleared my clothes as it was in a pile on the floor, done some notes for work and eaten lunch.

I’ve gotta modify my skirt for my GM at work since its a 50s themed night. Yes, my company is funky like that So I’ve bought a skirt for $9.25 at my local Good Sammy’s, some black cloth for the poodle design and a dish cloth like thing for the scarf. For obvious reasons I won’t post pictures of my outfit up just yet as the meeting is on Thursday. Wanna get the full effect of the outfit

Well I guess that’s all I have for the time being as I’m arming myself with some safety pins and needles to fix the skirt. Its a size 18 but I have to modify it to fit me (size 10/12). So I sure hope I don’t poke an eye out while doing this

Well hello all. I’m typing now after being in bed for a week with a very bad case of the flu. Well that and hives and ear infection as well. If I didn’t tell you, you wouldn’t believe me.

It started with a very mild sore throat and cough on Saturday, which developed a bit more on Sunday. I didn’t think too much of it, since it was a very mild case and I had dosed up on echinacea and fish oil and multivitamins on Saturday and Sunday. They usually work well to curb anything that comes on. But it didn’t this time.

I woke up on Monday morning with a slight case of the chills and the cough and sore throat was a bit worse. I felt quite rotten and didn’t want to go into work but knew at 6 am, there wouldn’t be anybody awake that I could call to get them to see a client of mine at 7.15am. I sent out an e-mail and sorted out that I’d still go in for about 2 hours or so and go home after that.

Went home at about 11am and slept. And slept.

Woke up about 6pm and realised I have a bad case of hives. As in BAD case. My whole stomach area plus the back was raised with lumps. It spread so much that it just became one huge lump. So I decided to take a shower. Cold shower in an effort to try and cool down. It helps a bit, but it was itching like crazy and I just had to sleep it off and not wrap myself in a blanket, lest I over heat again.

So back to bed I went and woke up the next morning with a fever and a cold. Went to the doctor, who gave me 3 days off work and told me to take cold and flu tablets. Take them I did.

Then came Wednesday. Then came the day where I blew my nose and that was when thee whole build up of pressure in the nose happens during the cold. You know, the one where you blow your nose and then your ear feels blocked? That’s the one I had. That night came the slight fever again and the nausea. I woke up in the middle of the night and felt like I was about to puke. Nearly ran to the toilet a couple of times, but thankfully I didn’t need to puke.

Thursday was pretty much the same, though I had the nausea a few times throughout the day. By today, my butt was starting to hurt from sitting in bed nearly the whole day. I was developing bed sores out of all things as well. Gah.

So Friday came and then I trooped off to the doctor yet again as I needed another MC. Clearly I wasn’t going to go into work with my condition like that. That was when she discovered that I’ve got an ear infection on top of it. So clearly fluid my my lungs/sinus went into my ear. Don’t ask me how, I wouldn’t know the mechanics of it but yes fluid got into my ear and got infection. So she put me on antibiotics. Bloody hell, it cost $20.95 for 5 days worth of antibiotics. Talk about expensive drugs. The doctor also stopped the cold and flu tablets and asked me to take Sudafed.

Saturday and Sunday were a blur as I went out to the pharmacist to get some cough medication and went to Kongs to get Pei Pa Kao. Haha…I’ve stuck with Pei Pa Kao just cause it tasted nicer

Monday came and I still had the runny nose and cough. Same today, though the cold has started to taper off, the cough is pretty much still very present.

So I’m going to troop off to the doctor again tomorrow to ask for more antibiotics or at least something to get rid of this stupid cough. Its really draining coughing and trying to talk at the same time. Oh, and I still can’t hear properly out of my right ear. So I’m going to try and get down to that as well, cause I do intend to hear properly again. I rely too much on my hearing to have anything happen.

Anyway, I’m going to go to bed now. Have to get to work at 7.15am tomorrow and then nip back to the doctors. I’m so sick of being sick. I can’t wait to get back to full health and getting back into routine. At the moment I don’t quite have a routine as I’m either working or sleeping after that. Good night for now!
