It never rains but pours

What nice feeling to wake up to the sun's warmth beaming on your face. For the last few days, it has been raining cats and dogs that I thought I would not see Mr Sunshine again. I dread waking up and going to bed feeling cold and miserable. What's worst is that the weather did not lift my spirits, since I was trying to recover from the flu through self-medication, trying to clear patient referrals as fast as possible and attending the evening HMDP lectures at TTSH.

When I finally decided that last night was the last straw of self medication, I paid a visit to my doctor to seek medical advice and knowing that I will get an "earful" from her - which I did and she was strict with me that she ordered I stayed at home for 2 days before I return to work.

So, here I am at home recuperating from my flu while at the same time enjoying my much needed break away from work - for the wrong reason. It is nice not to counsel patients for awhile since I am almost certain that they would not want to hear my husky voice. But on the flip side, I had to cancel my date this evening. Oh well...as I dream more of him, I hope it will put me on the fast road to recovery. Off to take a nap since the meds are making me drowsy.

Till the next one, take care peeps! Don't let the flu bug bite!
