A Sick Day

As the atmosphere started cooling down it accompanied with a flood of sick patients. Managing all these patients was quickly becoming a problem, confused what to do next I looked towards my classmates all of them were wearing confused and stressed expression on their face.

But without giving us a moment to think on, the interns quickly jumped in taking control of the situation and effectively managing the chaos. Things started to move smoothly and efficiently after that.

Going home at 5:00pm in the evening, I was dead tired, refusing to talk a walk back home I waved at incoming cab and got in. Paying the fare I got out of the cab infront of my home. Taking out the keys from my bag I opened the door, giving my mom a short greeting I headed to my room to get freshened up.

As I got out of my room heading towards the kitchen my eyes fell on the couch in the living room where my little brother and sister were lying sick to the bone. Rubbing my forehead at their foolishness, I wanted to reprimand them for not covering up while going to study. Seriously! What excuse is fashion sense when it is going to make you sick.

And now sooner or later the whole house is going to be effected, I am already starting to feel under the weather. Heading to the kitchen I saw  my mom making a pot of soup, seeing her flushed cheeks and watery eyes I immediately knew that even she was starting to feel under the weather.

Helping her with the soup, I grabbed a bowl for myself and sat down on the chair to eat. My body was starting to ache, maybe it was because of the increase workload today or maybe I was starting to get pyrexia. Anyways I think it is better to sleep it away.

Bad decision! I woke up at about 3:00am with a stuffy nose, watery eyes, body ache. It seems I have also become a patient. Getting up from the bed was proving to be a strength of resolve. Walking to the lavatory to get freshened up after that I headed back to the bed.

The pounding headache and a foggy mind was proving hard to think straight. Even now looking at the screen was becoming a tedious task.

So here I am advising you all to cover up and bundle up in layers as winter approaches. And for those of you have annoying younger siblings like me, scold them and force them to wear layers and prevent them from becoming fashionable heroes in one-layer winter clothes. Because face it health is wealth.

With that done I decided to fill my empty stomach to boost my immunity. Standing up on wobbling legs, I went to the kitchen. Grabbing a bowl of berries and apricots, I wobbled back to my room. Resting against my pillows I took a handful of blueberries popping it into my mouth.

I think the fever have effected my taste buds because the taste was too bland trying it with the apricots, I got the same results. But anyway I ate a few before putting a lid on the remaining. Taking OTC relief medication, I am headed to sleep. Maybe I can sleep the sickness away.

Its fascinating to find how your body functions are linked to one another. Like fever for example will effect your entire body from altered taste buds to over-functioning kidney. But anyways have a nice day to all of you. Take care of yourself and bundle up.
