...and someone said it's because of the weather. I had chills and fever last night; woke up today feeling nauseated with a bitter taste in the mouth. I have been eating small bits of food frequently and I'm glad I'm keeping them down; still feeling hungry though but we think the nausea will be gone tomorrow so I'm looking forward to eating a lot by then! I really enjoyed a chocolate sundae - the cold and sweetness cut through the bitterness so that was good. Took one Omeprazole {losec} so I wouldn't throw up but I think I'll keep the trashcan close to the bed tonight to be sure. I had a temp of 38.7C for two days prior too. I wasn't able to take my temp last night when I had the chills but I bet it was at least 39C. So if you're feeling nauseated, I suggest eating ice cream or sundae or sweet tart or any other sweet dessert - they cut through the bitter taste in the mouth and you can enjoy eating again. Of course, you can't just have sweets all

yesterday's tocino our old linksys router is acting up. we've had to power-cycle it to get it working as it should {power cycle = unplug then plug in power strip after a minute or longer}. i think we started noticing that issue in june or as early as april if i refer to my entries here! but it hasn't been happening regularly so thank goodness for that. anyway, i try to turn the power strip off altogether when i get the chance but it's hard to time it right {like when no one's around or they're sleeping}. we had fish sinigang sa miso for dinner. it was delicious. sinigang + garlic fried rice = good combo. sinigang + coke/soda to drink = bad mix.

August is here! What's up? After the fever, I started coughing; the barking kind. Now, I'm not "barking" so much and I think I'm recovering well. A typhoon passed through. Sad to learn that many areas were flooded. For two days, we lost cell signal from Globe Telecom. The signal came back yesterday. Our old dog got away and there was havoc for four days. That old, tiny dog's so territorial. Anyway, all's OK now except that someone's nursing a small dog bite that we think is healing and drying nicely; as long as they don't scratch the scab there shouldn't be a scar. They're going to the hospital for shots too. WAH update: I'm not bookkeeping anymore. Well, I'm still wrapping things up but after that, then, that's it. I was so behind and not confident with what I was doing. We parted ways with no trouble. Many years' worth of paperwork will remain here and will be disposed of accordingly - four years storage is wh

... 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!
