Down in the Doldrums

My song of the moment is “Promiscuous” by Nelly Furtado feat Timbaland…really love the catchy beat otherwise life is in the doldrums. I am still stuck under heaps of work which hopefully will all be over by tomorrow…keeping fingers crossed. Meanwhile, my face is plagued by adult acne due to the tremendous stress faced at work and the onset of my PMS. Uggghhhh…I could practically joined the ugly pimple dots on my face right now, it’s so depressing. I have already downed 2 cups of coffee since this morning and that’s before lunch. I think I need another one to pull me through till evening. This is really terrible.

I just had food poisoning over the last weekend where I had slept through day and night scrunched up like a prawn, with a woozy head and a queasy tummy. That, after throwing up in the early hours of the morning!!! I finally visited the doc in the late evening after having been unable to withstand the torture any longer. The pain did not subside as I had fervently wished for despite sleeping for what seemed like donkey hours to me. The doc diagnosed me as having food poisoning and suffering from food indigestion due to oily food consumed. Right, that means eating bland food for the next few days. I took the Mon off as my stomach was still troubling me and when I looked at food, I felt nauseous. Very well for taking a few pounds off albeit the hard way, this was how a friend consoled me. LM was in the same boat as me, suffering from high fever and throwing up occasionally. So, there we were, 2 miserable souls wallowing in self-pity sms-ing each other to keep abreast of our ‘recovery’. If it wasn’t so painful, it would have been hilarious. Anyway, I got some vcds to keep me company, alternating between watching the serials and drifting off to la-la land.

I managed to summon enough energy to go gym for my BC in the late evening and as usual, I arrived on the dot. I am sure I looked really wan and dreadful and my gym buddies looked surprise to see me as I had been MIA for BC for quite awhile now especially Mon class. I became tired very easily and resorted to stopping after every track to catch my breath and sipped some water to keep me going. Fortunately, SGP was tired as well since he took a break at every track. I left immediately upon finishing the class to go bathe for fear of the long queues.
