*WAILS*

what happens when u get a scratchy throat? u cant fall asleep cos it hurts when u swallow ur own saliva and u keep doing it cos your throat is so dry. ur body aches and it doesnt help tt it's wintery cold - without the heater or air con, the room feels like it's well air-conditioned. i think i am finally falling ill.

i havent had a sign of a flu since i've moved here 11 months ago. even when the boy was ill, i've not caught anything. though the weather is wonky, i've managed to stay strong n healthy. and now...i think it's finally happening.

one of my biggest fear is us falling ill here. cos though we are insured medically, it is still unnerving to have to visit the doctor here (finding a hairdresser is scary enough, imagine a doctor who will ask u to say "ahhhhh").

i feel like i have something more to type abt but my body aches, n i'm wrapped up in a sweater n huge blankie, n the only thing tt can go down is green tea and raisin bread. so my mind is gg blank.

*wails* I AM SICK!!!!!!
