I've been AWOL from this blog for a couple of weeks, first with an uncooperative digestive system then followed by the flu bug. I'm totally distracted by this bout of malaise so I'm not writing about anything else except about it. Hee.
Why I'd be so lucky to first come down with food poisoning (it WAS the mee rebus for sure) followed soon after with a cold, I have no idea. Can only guess that my body was already very weak from all that throwing up and exiting of bodily matter. I recovered enough to start eating normally for a few days before I started feeling funny again. You know how the Chinese say one is 'heaty'? I usually feel REALLY heaty just before I'm coming down with a cold. It's just like the insides are burning but you don't actually have a fever that can be recognised by a thermometer. That's when I'll overdose on Vitamin C and barley water and hope for the best. But this time round, I just couldn't ward it off. I really hate it when I get a cold or a cough. My throat will get really itchy-scratchy from all the post-nasal drip and I can't control the horrible hacking cough. I noticed that not all my friends or relatives get this when they get a cough. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I had asthmatic bronchitis as a child? I don't know. Weak lah.
You'd think that after a week (or two) of loose stools followed by a week (or two) of coughin' and wheezin' that I'd have lost some weight. Evidently not. Permanently that is. The scale did shift in my favour just a wee bit and then as soon as my tummy grew stronger, the hunger (and greediness) just over compensated and re-balanced itself. For a few days there, I actually saw a flat tummy again. Sigh.
I'm sorry some of you haven't yet received your shoe orders. Will be in touch with you soon. Very soon....
What started as a blog about hand painted shoes has become an online journal for a simple working mother, in search of Food for the Heart, Body, Soul and Mind.
