I got sick yesterday.
A fever slowly crept up, along with a tummy ache and chills.

I’m pretty sure it’s a combination of Clem’s birthday excitement the past week,
with all that drinking,
as well as running back and forth meetings and errands in this terribly humid weather.

I also told him roughly a week ago that i felt like i wanted to stop drinking.
He panicked, called me from the office and said, “Maybe you should take a pregnancy test…”

I was like, “PLEASE LA.” I can’t be pregnant, i’ve been on the pill so… that’s that.

Still, his words bounced around my head as i was driving last week, and i suddenly thought, “What IF i’m pregnant?!” And i COMPLETELY PANICKED. I felt like this hand swooped into my chest and tightened itself around my heart. I need to move house this year! I need to source for furniture and overlook the renovations! I have a project i want to kick off in May! I can’t do all this while throwing up all over the place!

Anyway. That was my mini panic attack. But i’m very sure i’m not pregnant.
And i don’t plan to be any time soon.

Back to me being sick, i tried not taking Panadol at first yesterday.
I avoid taking medicine (unless it’s cough mixture heh) cos i’d like to let my body try to fend for itself first.
Imagine if every time you get sick you just drop a pill… I think you’re destroying your own body’s immune system!
After laying around my parents’ house like a sick dog (went over there for lunch) and dragging myself to The Curve to exchange one of Clem’s birthday presents, i was so so relieved to get home and lay flat on the couch and rest.

I succumbed to a Panadol (and four more since),
and Clem offered to watch a cartoon movie with me – i chose Winnie the Pooh.
I chirped up, “I feel better already!” as the show started.
Not bad, he sat thru the whole thing and even laughed at some of the right parts.

I need to find more great cartoon movies to watch.
Suggestions?
