I have been in bed most of the time (I have a cold! argh),having nightmares all the time. Now I’m awake, hungry, thirsty and my nose feels sore from the many times I had to blow my nose. I can no longer breathe through my nose. :| I look pale but my nose and the skin around it are red. I look horrible. :x My lips are also very dry and cracked. I already applied some of my favorite Nivea Med Repair lip balm to my lips but it doesn’t seem to be as effective as it usually is. Yikes. I keep drinking water but apparently still not enough because I feel like a fish out of water. My throat hurts if I don’t have a drink of water every 15 minutes or so. Darn. The water bottle on the water dispenser is now empty. No more drinking water left. :( I’ve just put some water to boil and I’m waiting as I finish typing this entry. It feels like years since I last drank boiled water.
From personal experience, I know that I’ll feel better in a few more days (I usually need one week to recover). My bf has been very good to me but he is very busy with a big project right now. It’s his first paid project and I’m really glad for him. Haiz. I hate being sick.

Right now, I’d love to eat the chicken soup my mum usually makes when I’m sick. Many people think that eating Chicken soup really helps when sick but many others disagree. I always feel better after having Chicken soup. It does wonders for my sore throat. If I feel any better tomorrow, I might just go buy the ingredients for the Chicken soup and make it myself or rather try to make it. I’ve never made it before. What else to do when I’m so far from home with no one to take care of me when I’m sick? I’m old enough to be taking care of myself but I feel very weak when I’m sick. Anyway, who doesn’t like to be taken care of? Argh. I must have my Chicken soup!

( Happy Independence Day! :party: Today Mauritius is celebrating its 39th year of Independence and 15 years of Republic. Right now, I kinda wish I have a little flag of Mauritius to hang on my wall. Back when I was in high school, Independence Day also meant one day off school and also marching and performing during the flag-raising ceremony at school as well as during the official ceremony in Port-Louis in front of the Prime Minister, the President of the Republic and other ministers as well as the public. I miss my majorette (baton twirler) days. :( I was looking at the old pics the other day. So many memories.)
