Moody and Sick

10.21.2014

Call it tradition, call it coincidence, but like clockwork, I ended up sick again, with an upper respiratory tract infection in October, weeks before my birthday.  It sucks to be sick…I know, the chance to stay at home is heaven (since my mind always resisted going to work anyway), but being sick makes me feel so down.  I am actually less “down” than when I got sick around July.  Back then, I was like, it is not October yet!  I can’t be sick!  and I ended up crying in self-pity as I found it unfair that when the “mom” gets sick, no one takes care of her.  Of course, I was over-acting, but I did cry.  Now, I am actually relishing the time off.  Although my ear ache like crazy (and it has been this way for two days now – man, I need to go to the doctor), I actually attempted to play with Nicole’s musical instruments (she has a guitar, ukulele and keyboard in her room).  The ukulele, which we got after hearing rave reviews from older relatives, especially my uncle who claims it was their choice of music instrument post World War II, is an interesting musical instrument.  It is easier to play than the guitar, and there are a lot of tutorials online. 

Who knows?  I may be going back to work with a new repertoire.
