My sore throat seems to be infected.
Argh.
Finally I have antibiotics.
And it’s not like I didn’t go see a doctor about two weeks ago. I did get pills that stopped working as soon as the course was finished so clearly they didn’t solve the problem.
I’ve been sick since just before niece number two’s aqeeqah.
So that’s about 5 weeks and MORE.
It’s not been so bad some days but most of the time sore sore throat so bad it hurts when I yawn like someone scraping something against my throat. Worse it’s been hurting always not just when I yawn.
Well, let’s hope it goes away.
I was supposed to help with niece number one so that sister could take care of nephew number one (whose aqeeqah was done in Guyana although his head was shaved here (DUH) while i…slept!) and also get some rest. I’m not sure if she’s getting any sleep.
*sigh*

I’m an aunty for the second time!
My brother’s daughter was born yesterday at 10:55 am.
She weighs 6 lbs 8 oz and is 51 cm long.
And she looks surprisingly like my other niece (and her father!) and less like her other cousin (who was born 8 weeks ago and herself looks like her father!).
Either my mother (we blame mom) has very dominant genes or my brother’s in-laws have very recessive genes :-)
But yay.
But my brother isn’t here.
Oh.
And she’s very pink! and red!
I returned home from a two week trip to Guyana yesterday at 11 am.
We reached home at 1:30 pm.
On the way we stopped to see my sister-in-law and I opened one of my suitcases and took out some of the stuff that Big Sis sent for her.
It wasn’t until the next day (today!) 5 am, after we ate Suhur (meal before the start of the fast in Ramadhan) that my mom asked me if I had any dirty clothes.
Yesterday when I dragged myself upstairs I was so excited to tell my sisters that I wasn’t interrogated and no clothes were forcibly wrested from me. I slept. So I am announcing it to the WORLD!
By the way…Ramadhan (muslim month of fast) has started. We did our first fast on Thursday so RAMADHAN MUBARAK!

Okay, Mom bought them for me…
I’ll work on taking a better picture.
I love them tho :-)
that I can’t even recognize when I have a cold/virus/flu.
*sigh*
Thankfully SuperMom is always around to prescribe panadol multisymptom and tell me that I have a cold or something.
How would we manage without SuperMom?
I would think my sleepless nights and tossing and turning on the bed and 20 hours a day of lying down on the bed (not necessarily sleeping) is me just withering away … Alhamdulillah for SuperMom!
But today I managed to make myself stay awake for….6 hours so far? And I talked to people (brother, SuperMom, daddy) a lot…so much that my simple sore throat (only sign of a virus I could see) is thinking of escalating into my losing my voice! I could barely talk to sister and niece on the phone!!!
Yes, I am no longer in Guyana. I’ve been home for about two weeks now but I haven’t had the energy to post, comment, send much email…actually do much. I had to shut down the computer a couple days ago and I haven’t even logged back into IRC. I feel so lost. But I can’t even sleep in my bed so what’s the point since the computer isn’t where I’m sleeping.
I’m so sick.
I’m fed up of being sick.
And people think I should reconsider my job.
Hmph.
Isn’t being an aunty fun? :-)
Been sick the last month…very horrible…slept non-stop and it wasn’t restful.
Still enjoying this unemployed feeling tho. Got last paycheque. Hope to post *something* of substance one day. I posted pictures on flickr the other day….I will try to put links…feeling tired….must sleep….plane in 8 hours

ME,
RANT!!! — Lilandra @ 10:40 pm
Oh klutzy me!
Three hours after I finally fell asleep last night, there I was on the bed, moving closer to the big mound of pillows, getting more comfortable, lifted my head to rest it on said pillows and “WHAP!”. OW!
:-(
I moved my poor head and hit it against the wall.
HARD.
Weirdly enough, mom was not sitting down at the computer to come rub my head but she did a few minutes later. I think they think it funny. I was so wide awake.
Thankfully I fell back to sleep.
4 hours later, I got off the bed because we have to paint, right?
I walked out of the room and straight into the door frame.
OW!!!
I figured it’s not time for me to get off the bed…so I just move and sleep on the comfy SOFT couch for a couple hours or so.
poor me
(I washed my hair. Why does it still smell of alcolado?)
