... was my temperature yesterday. After going around the household, I think this bug finally got me. Earlier today, it went down to 38.7. Tonight, I think the fever's gone but I feel nauseated. There is a bitter taste in my mouth and the only thing I happily ate was a sweet egg tart at dinner. I took Omeprazole an hour earlier and sucked on half a losenge. I'm saving the other half of the candy for later. Hopefully, I don't throw up in bed. Happy Monday!

fever and cough people around me are getting sick  - one had a fever, one has a fever, one has a cough. must be the change in the weather. there are bursts of rain. it's not so humid anymore. i dare say the air has been cool and dry since yesterday. then again, at this point, i know that the weather can change just like... that! albite on symbian latest bedtime reading is a nice classic from the '20s. happy that i found the albite reader for symbian many months ago and because i don't jump between books, using it has been ok; plus, it looks nice. i finally let go and uninstalled the old b&n e-reader on my nokia yesterday; adding ebooks to it was a chore. nook app finally bought nookbook#3 of "a song of ice and fire" {thanks, you-in-the-us!}. it's figuratively gathering dust but i'll get to it, eventually. it's in the desktop b&n nook app though reading from the monitor gets a little uncomfortable on the neck and bum.  i don't know but

strange day. sleep was staggered. woke up several times before i decided to get up even if it was too early for me. ate breakfast. tried to nap in the pm; i think i napped for an hour before i woke up. ate an early dinner. the photo above was my second dinner so i had two meals within two hours of each other. it is now past 10 p.m. and i am full and sleepy. fingers crossed that i will get a good night's sleep tonight and wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed tomorrow.

i have the toilet flush repair fund ready right here. now we're waiting for someone to call a plumber - hopefully, they don't forget. we've been having bursts of rain. they don't last very long and it does get very humid before it pours. i notice colors on my specs when light hits it {prism?}. is that normal? the optician i saw didn't really explain the prescription to me. now, i think the specs should have been anti-reflective too but they did not mention that to me at the eyeglasses shop. they were just pushing me to buy up to thinner lenses without talking about it much - only that it won't be heavy and will look better. for what i paid for, i think they should have given me more useful advice than that. then again, the colors in the reflection i'm seeing could be tint from anti-glare coating; but they never mentioned the lens would be coated. i don't know anymore! happy monday!
