Sick!

I paid good $10 for a flu shot this year.

Saturday morning, I woke up to the routine: fed dog, brew coffee, walked dog, came back, and turned on the computer. Hmm, was that a cold sneaking up on me? I decided to take it easy and not run my usual Saturday 5 miles.

Sunday, I woke up, thinking of the routine, then went to bed, thank you very much. Sunday night, I sent this message to work:

The throat was shearing hurt. I couldn’t talk or swallow. I did 5 to 6 times of salt water garglings Monday and drank lot of medicinal teas. Monday Night, another message went out.

Tuesday was an in-and-out day. I dozed off at the recliner 3 times and went to bed early. I bravely gave my status at FaceBook: “Sin-Yaw Wang is crawling back from a 4-day sore-throat and fever episode.”

Wednesday morning, I assessed, “Hmm, may be I am OK now.” I went to work.

Wednesday night.

Thursday afternoon, after post-lunch nap, I replied to Steven:

Then I dozed off around 4:30pm. Woke up hungry! It is so great to feel hungry. Wife made me congee, traditional Chinese comfort food. I had 3 bowls!

Thursday night’s me was a sedentary couch potato. After CSI, I went straight to bed.

Woke up Wife in the middle of the night, coughing myself to the point of choking. Felt my way to the kitchen for the cough syrup. Contemplated its taste while realizing the time was 2:30am. Waited for the cough to subside in the darkness. Felt my way back to the bed. Unconscious after.

Ran, Monday evening, 2.5 miles, slowly.

Ran again, Tuesday afternoon, 2 miles. Weighed myself in the gym. I lost 2 pounds. It was a nice, warm, bright and blue day. Wonderful.
