I have been having sore throat and cough since last Monday. But with things to do in the office, I thought I would ride it out.
Then I started getting bloated. I had to take Eno.
On Sunday, I finally went to see doctor. After telling him about my sore throat and cough, I told him about the bloating. He asked me to lie down and press around my abdomen. He suspected acid reflux. (Today, a colleague told me exercise helps a lot. Need to cut alcohol too. That is not a problem to me. I only have DOM once in a blue moon.)
I was asked not to take spicy food (it is normal for me to have nasi lemak 5 times a week). Do more exercise.
I also told him I felt like an asthma attack was imminent. He used his stethoscope a while more and decided I didn’t need any asthma medicine.
Then on Monday, I left my medicine at home! I also left my watch at home.
Today, I got a reminder to submit my claims. I missed the deadline last month. Then I found out I didn’t have all the receipts with me. Must have left some at home when I cleared my bag the day before to went to the “clean” event. Then, I found a monthly parking pass dated 15/05/2012 to 13/06/2012! That means, the monthly pass on display in my car has been expired for the better part of a month. I deserved to get a packing ticket. I didn’t. Phew. Gotta be more careful. What was I thinking?
Then, one report could not run. I had quite a number of things on my hands. Things just came pouring in. I could not fix the report. This delays the work of my GM (that’s short for gan mei, or God sister / 干妹). She was visibly upset. I really grieved me a lot to see her like that. I was sad. I was helpless. I kicked myself for not being able to help her.
I left the office before she did to the church. After the meeting, I sent her a text telling her I explained the situation to my VP. She said she has already finished her report. Bright (and responsible) girl she was! I am so happy and relieved.
I am still not fully recovered. The delay in the medicine taking on Monday could have put a dent to my road to recovery. No matter. No spicy food for the foreseeable future. I have to tame my tongue.
My throat is itchy now even as I am typing this. I left my medicine in the office since I have taken all my dosage today. I didn’t want to bring it home and then bring it to the office again tomorrow. Perhaps I will take some Pi Pa Gao before I sleep.
This has been a good day. A good example of Rom 8:28. Praise God!
