My body have a peculiar habit: only to get sick on vacations.... Not happened automatically, of course...hehehe.... I used to train my brain to take control what should be happened on my body at certain times. That way, I could minimize any damages, especially on critical and most important moments. Of course, sometimes it also ruined my vacation....who wants to stay on bed while you have the whole day to have fun? Uh, wait a minute...stay on bed all day is also fun...hahahaha....
Last week, the third week of November 2012 was a busy time for me. Plus, there was an extra vacation in the middle of the week. On Monday, I had a feeling that was something wrong in my body. Finally three months under the extreme heat of our dry season had begun to affect me. Too many iced waters, sleep under AC or fan turned on at maximum speed combined with less of quality sleep at night.
Fine - I thought - let's go back and drink more hot waters, instead iced ones. I don't have time to fall ill on this week, there are so many things to be done....so I thought.
On Wednesday, I felt a PMS coming over. Usually it was no problem for me. But maybe because my condition was slightly under the usual form, I felt that I need to take an antacid as a precaution. And everything run smoothly as planned...
On Saturday, as usual when on vacations, I prefer to eat light and fresh food, like salads. The extreme heat that day made me reluctant to eat anything else. So, for lunch and dinner I just had one of Indonesian salad called asinan. It's consisted of tofu, potatoes, bean sprouts covered with mixture sauce of crushed peanut and vinegar. It's quite refreshing for a hot day. Too bad, I can't show the picture of it, because I practically ate the most of it....hehehe....
And that was the trigger of my suffer. Everything was still okay till midnight. I was still up, playing online games when suddenly I felt a very bad stomachache. I couldn't sleep at all, spent every two hours going to the bathroom, felt there were so many gasses playing around in my abdominal. On Sunday morning, I couldn't keep stay up for long.... And in the afternoon I developed a slight fever. Fortunately, after that the antacid I took finally worked. But I had already lost so many energy, that I had to skip work on Monday...made a havoc in the office....hehehehe....
Have I already been fit again today? That's still a big question.....hehehe... I have been back to work since yesterday, still not on 100% good condition. But still I need to go, there are so many things waiting for my attention...and so many chaos stories, too....[sigh!]... I'm still having trouble to sleep these last two nights....the after-effect of my illness... My body insists to take its own time to heal, apparently....hahaha...
