The best medicine - Laughter

haha ... found this off the blogger homepage ... not the funniest but something to chuckle over now and then ...

I pick this one for today's chuckle =)

it's the *sniff* flu bug

it's official ... now i'm down with flu ... got 2 more days of MC (did return to work but my headache was killing me - synflex wasn't working so had to get a jab). Turn out I had fever, which explains why I was so doozy ... basically was gong dai dai and sleepy till I couldn't keep awake. After lunch (just next door so it's not so bad to walk) I tried to settle in but my headache was getting worse so I bailed out and wanted to go home. Barely into the cab ride I changed my mind, I had to go see the doctor.

Found out that I had photophobia (fear of light - which makes sense since sudden bright lights tend to trigger off migraines), and I had fever. Ok, so that explain part of my headache. Doc gave me a jab too - wasn't too painful but my butt ached for 15 minutes on the way back. Sweetie hubby came to pick me up, and thank goodness for it too. It was raining so heavily! And besides. I forgot to bring out my house keys (yes, again).

Came home and just went to bed. Rascal was fussing around but I didn't bother about him. He everntually woke me up while BARKING in his sleep (he was sleeping in the corner next to the bedside table).

Still having fever and I feel the onset of sore throat. Geez, not a good start to the year of Dog is it?

Aching, headaches, and giddiness

For the past few days I haven't been feeling very good - headaches and backaches and slight giddiness. Today it got worse, my finger joints started to hurt too with the giddiness getting a bit more serious.

Called up Silvercross @ HV and 2 of my favs docs are on duty (one till 5pm and the other after that). Was quite happy since they are quite familiar with my medical history and they are very doctors who show interest in their patients.

Anyway Dr Soh thinks my problems (excluding the backache) is due to my nasal cavity being congested, hence the symptoms of "heated eyes", giddiness, headaches as well as my nasal sounding voice (not blocked nose). Gave me medical leave to cover for today (I went about 4pm - my hubby came and pick me up) and for tomorrow. Came home, took my medication and tried to sleep. It was terrible - I kept having nightmares and keep waking up every 10 minutes or so (checked the clock). I just hope it goes away soon ... It certainly doesn't feel good. Yes it is nice to have medical leave to rest, but it just means my work gets piled up. Also, we work as a team, my absence means stuff gets delayed for other people. And to be on medical leave because I feel like this, it's definitely not worth it.

No, I'm not preggy.

*grrrrrrr*

I just rebooted my PC and I was wondering why it wasn't recognising my Olympus camera cable. I looked down, traced the end, and it was ... BEING CHEWED BY RASCAL! He's REALLY good ... he hid the end of the wire with his toy and so from top view, he's chewing his toy ... until i pulled the wired to see it attached to his mouth!

Argh! He chewed off enough to expose the cables (probably some wires too), and now he's being punished - ignored and locked up at the back.

No more photos till I find a replacement cable =(

Didi I mention I found him tearing holes in my carpets and rugs too? Innocently too, until I spotted him chewing an old rug i wanted to throw away. Then i spotted the balding patches on my carpet. So now, he doesn't have any rugs with him in the day time, unless it's under supervision.

*grrrr*

Let's send postcards! for a good cause =)

Saw this from http://www.stefmike.org/mt-blogs/daxiang/ This will be fun to do, and it's going to cost you less than a dollar and just some efforts to locate the nearest postbox! What are you waiting for?

Dear neighbors:
My name is Lisa Cowart and I am a teacher of some of the most wonderful students in the world!
It is on behalf of my students that I would like to ask a favor of you.
I am teaching sixth grade social studies in Columbus, Georgia at Richards Middle School. Our class is emphasizing international studies and we are trying to learn about the world around us. A geography project that I am doing with my class involved us trying to get postcards sent to us from all over the United States and as many countries in the world as we can. When we get the cards, the class and I locate the place on the map. This is a great way for them to work on becoming familiar with the world outside of their own town. To this end, I need to help of anybody who would be willing to send us a postcard from another state or perhaps from another country.

We will be happy to reciprocate if the person gives us their return address. If you know anybody at all who lives in another state or in another country, would you be so kind as to pass this request along to them?
Please send our class a postcard at the following address:
Mrs. Cowart's Sixth Grade ClassRichards Middle School2892 Edgewood RoadColumbus, Georgia 31906 USA
Please pass this request along to anyone who you think would be willing to help us by sending us a postcard.
Sincerely,
Lisa Crowson Cowart

Rascal and my hubby sleeping together on the floor ... isn't it sweet? =)

Rascally yours ...

Rascal will soon be 6 months old! On that very day, he will recieve his very FIRST grooming *hehe* ... I've already booked an appointment with the Royal Pets Paradise (recommended by Eunice) on the 17th (one week later the price will go up becuz of the CNY) as well as the transport. His eyes are now permanently shaded by his fur (really wonder if he can see anything) and people are calling him FAT cuz of his fluffy fur (I fluff it up after i shower him).

Oh I've been trying to get rid of the stains on his beard and paws (really regret giving him flavoured rawhides) with this shampoo meant for dogs with white fur (has a pic of a cute Bichon in front) ... worked a little but his bread is still RED ... *sigh* I couldn't find this other brand as recommended by someone else in a forum, so i'll just try this one out first. In anycase, this one I got is good too, since it is a tearless formula ... as rascal squirms and tries to escape everytime he gets a shower, he ends up being wet from head to toe (ya and he looks a very wet rat) ...

I'm trying to persuade my hubby to get a second dog. He says no time for it and it's double the costs! I am going for "but Rascal needs a gf! he's all alone when we go to work!" line ...

so far he's agreed to consider it if I get a pay rise of at least $500 ... *sigh* let's hope my boss reads this and loves me enough to give me that raise :P

oh *rofl* i finally got my confirmation letter ... dated April 2004!
