Chicken Soup for the Soul
Cough! Cough! Sneeze! Ugh! I feel terrible! Bunny caught a cold. Haha! At least I know that I am still human, vulnerable to sickness. This is a moment for me to realize that I am no superwoman and do need my rest no matter how busy I may be.
I started to feel under the weather since Monday, sneezing loads while working at the library. Jewel suggested that I should use a face mask while working, but I noticed that my body is feeling all weird then. By Tuesday my body was sending out sirens for help. I thought I felt better in the morning, but after coming back from teaching Asakura-san, my throat was gone. I had to take leave from my voice lesson in the afternoon. By evening, I had a fever rising. My health condition was in a total mess by the time I was done translating for the Women’s Dorm End of Office General Assembly. (Hmm, I think I had spread the virus to those who I was interpreting to. Yikes! Sorry guys!) I went back to my room around 10.30 and slept as soon as possible. My cough became worse this morning. I was coughing out phlegm and maybe, my lungs, while washing up this morning. My nose didn’t run as much… but hey, you get the point… this is one sick bunny!
Being pulled down by the weather of the season, I was starting to feel all sad and sorry for myself that I am all alone here, pitiful and no one to care for me, and yet I have to struggle to work on my assignments… I received a call from my big brother that he will be coming over in a while as I was working on my graduation thesis outline. When he buzzed me, I went out to see him carrying a bowl of hot chicken soup and my latest snack craze. Aww… I feel so loved!
Yup! I have experience things that I have only imagined in the past… someone making me, just for me, chicken soup! And this was done without being asked, with no obligation to do so… Aww… I am savoring every bite of celery, carrot, garlic, cauliflower, onion, and of course… chicken! Ahh… Well, I only get really sick once a year, I guess this kind of pampering is not too much to ask for. (Cheeky smile)
* Thank you God for your kindness and loved shown through the people around me.
I definitely feel much better now (in my heart… not too sure about my health yet). So, back to work on that graduation thesis outline!
