Despite the fact that I turned thirty, that is how I'd describe my birthday. Not that we didn't make an effort. It was all because of this darn flu.
I woke up a bit better, still dizzy and weak. At least, the fever had gone. By noon, I was well-enough to go out for lunch. I didn't enjoy it much. My throat was sore, I had a hard time swallowing. I would have loved to go around and shop (w/o guilt), but I was starting to get tired. We just made a few stops to get some necessities. Then we left my "office."
That evening, we could've gone out to get something special for dinner but Vic had meetings scheduled till 8PM. I ended up cooking our dinner, in between watching over Johann and Javi. I didn't have the energy to concoct anything special.
All the activity that day drained every ounce of energy left in me. I went back to bed with a fever.
-----------------
One of the greatest gifts I received was the newest addition to my household staff. (Staff daw o).
The one that replaced Johann's yaya had to go back home because her husband was hospitalized and was in critical condition. I didn't want to delay her till the end of the month because I want her to be with her family when they need her.
The one I got yesterday, c/o my parents, is a quite old. She can't help with Johann, but she definitely fill in the need for the general house chores (laundry, daily upkeep, ironing, cooking, dishwashing and the like). I was quite grateful for her arrival because we really needed her then. I haven't fully recovered from my flu. She arrived just in time to clean up my mess in the kitchen.
