It is so easy to say.

This is my third day of being sick.  Winter started few days ago and flu is very common.  I felt better now though in the sense that i don’t have the fever anymore, but the colds is still here as well the headache.  I also got rid of my body ache.  Thank God, at least I can do more at home now although I still refuse to work much online.  Exposing myself in front of the computer for a long period of time aggravates my headache.

It will take few more days before I get back to normal.  When I say normal that simply means without colds, sneezing, blowing of nose and headache.  As everything still seems to be the usual routine even when I am sick.  I have no choice.  I have to do chores, or else everything will pile up.  I still have to do the usual shopping routine or grocery trips, driving, running errands, bringing and picking up the kids from school.

All I am depending on now is my ever loyal Panadol (lol!), lots of water, not to forget – lots of coffee as well, 6 hours of sleep which is longer than usual.  No matter what happens, moms have huge responsibilities in the family.  We are not actually allowed to get sick.  Thus, it is very important to look after ourselves and make sure that we do not take ourselves and our health for granted.  We are precious.  P R E C I O U S…tell that to yourself.  It will make and motivate you more to love yourself.  Have a great day everyone.
