Last week I was thinking to myself "Its been a long time since I was last sick" - speak about the devil, I fell sick last Friday.
Woke up with a terrible neckache and I thought it was due to my flat pillow. Went to office and felt my whole back aching. Told my colleague that I suspect the flu is coming and by noon, I was shivering.

Went to see the doctor and she gave me 2 days MC right away. Though that was 3pm, I was busy till 6pm before I headed home to rest. The whole night, I was breaking into cold sweat for a few minutes and then, perspring the next few minutes. It was terrible.

Slept through the whole of Saturday and thought I will be ready for the Vertical Marathon by Sunday.. but well, I guess I better stay home then to exhaust myself. By Sunday evening, I was even well enough to attend Ryan's wedding!

Me being sick also cause Dearie to loose lots of sleep. He constantly calls on me and check if I am better. When I go to sleep he is awake, when I am awakem he is still awake - to the point that I need to force him to sleep!

Today, I woke up with heavy head again - the bug just didn't go away. Went to see doc and was "awarded" another day of MC.

Now I am totally stressed out, thinking about the things sitting on my desk, waiting for me to clear. Ironically, I have a very clear mind on what is outstanding, top urgent and even thought of some ways to speed up my work and who to passed those things to! Hee, guess the Chinese saying is right.. To rest, is to prepare for the longer road ahead".
