sick day

Sick day. Kept sneezing, showers of mucus (gross!)
dr placed her stethescope on my chest and instructed me to breathe deeply.
I probably deafened her with mucus-filled breath.

I spent like most of my day sleeping. I didn't even get the chance the take medicine and i was fast asleep. And i hate it when my mother keeps disturbing my sleep. I mean she can be such a pain. So I was sleeping and she was throwing out instructions that i should wash my pants, bring out the clothes to dry cos the weather looks good. She can't do that cos she is late for her appointment. The reason why she is late because she wanted to cook for me etc etc. Call me ungrateful, but she really didn't have to cook. I bought bread on the way home from the doc's for lunch. And while i was sleeping, she had to call me on the house phone, which wasn't loud enough to wake me up. So she called on my cell phone and the 1st thing she asked was "where are u?" I don't know why after so many years of living together, she just doesn't get it. She still don't get it that when i am asleep, the world cease to exist. And do not disturb. I mean it.

I rarely get flu without fever. this is one of those times. So actually, i feel rather fine. but better to not go to work since now that we are all seated in a very small room, its easy to just pass the flu bug around. I thought it will be rather interesting if everyone in my room fell ill -- great testament to our thoughtful seating arrangement.

More on that. We currently have 5 people in a 2.5m by 2.5m space. Actually, i think its slightly less then that. Studies have shown that crowded conditions leads to agression among rats. Cities, crowded cities tend to have higher crime rates too. I wonder when we will start to sabotage each other's experiments...

so 5 of us. 3 gals and 2 boys. 2 dirty boys. I mean it. It totally creeps us up.
