Life’s Lessons

Yes, you read it right. I am sick again. I still have cough since we arrived from our trip weeks back. Now that cough has worsen. Last night I haven’t slept long because I am coughing all the time. Ace seemed not to care and so he slept because he has to work today and he needs enough sleep. In the morning, I am really coughing hard that I almost throw up everytime I spit out that phlegm. It’s not the usual hard cough. Seems it’s a cough due to allergy because I am “barking” ALL THE TIME. Carol jokingly said to Che2x “bigyan mo nga ng pagkain ang aso” (give the dog some food) referring to me. I had a hard time eating my meals so I ended up munching on some apple and drank lots of water hoping that it could help me stop coughing. I asked Che2x to buy some lozenge for sore throat but the pharmacy nearby don’t have a stock. So what she got is a menthol candy. In a way, it helped so I was able to take a short nap. But when I woke up, I felt feverish that when I took my temperature, it was 38.8. I took an analgesic and had another round of nap until I wake up sweating. Thanks God my fever has subsided so it’s the cough and the headache caused by coughing bothers me now. 

On the other hand, Ella was left here. Carol and Donald has some papers to process and they didn’t want Ella to tag along because she will only complain for walking always. The little girl bought a fake barbie doll from the store because she don’t have toys around here. After she played with it, she went somewhere else. We thought she’s playing outside only to find out she was sleeping in our room. She woke up after a while and went to the living room where she continued her sleep in the bench and then transferred to our room where she was still sleeping up to this time. She must have been so tired that her nap is longer than usual.

Last night, when I asked her when are they going back to Trento, she said they will stay here forever. I don’t know how true it was. What I know is that they should be in Trento by now because the shipping boxes full of household items that their Mama Ingrid has sent months ago might be delivered within the week. Hmmm….I hope they will stay here longer because I will be missing the little girl and though Ace don’t say it, he likes it much when they are around because the house is lively when they are here.
