30-Minute Warning XXXI

Hello, Diary. It has been a while, and I missed 2 blogging days this week – this Wednesday and Friday. Let me explain my short absence.

The past few days have been rough for me physically. Remember the last time I blogged here; I said I didn’t get a fever even if I was expecting to? Well, the day after I posted that, I got a fever and my coughing and itchy throat became worse. Overall I officially got the flu. But thanks to plenty of rest and water, Koolfever, and Bioflu, I got better slowly.

As soon as I was cured of my fever and coughing, I joined my parents and cousin May in grocery shopping. I joined because I had a feeling I would see some 4-packs of Jack and Coke Zero in the store. And when we arrived and I checked the alcohol section, I was right – there were lots of Jack and Coke Zero. So I took 2 4-packs. Thank goodness.

After coming home from grocery shopping, I was told by my family to get some rest. Yes, I don’t have a fever anymore and I’m not coughing like hell, but I’m not 100% well physically. But before I got my rest, I had to work a bit. Good thing I don’t have that much on my workload, so I finished work early.

Anyway, I’m 100% well now and celebrating it by having an ice-cold Jack and Coke Zero while typing this post. I deserve this cool beverage.

And that’s it. That’s about it. Happy weekend!

I have some good and bad news about my physical health.

The good news is that I didn’t get a fever even if I’m expecting to. The bad news is that I’m still coughing, my throat is still itchy, and I still feel weak. I’m so weak that I skipped work today. I should have a checkup soon.

I wish I could tell more about what’s going on with me, but I truly feel weak. Get well soon, self.

30-Minute Warning XXX

An update on my mental health: After finishing work tasks early, getting rest, remembering my long-term and short-term plans, and starting Season 4 of my favorite show Person of Interest, I feel better now. If I do get anxious or depressed, I can handle it better.

However, as for my physical health, I feel a bit weak and my throat is so itchy. I drank my medicine already so my itchy throat does not become a full-on cough or (worse) a cold. I’m worried that I may skip my weekly affogato fix at my favorite spot if I don’t feel physically better this coming weekend.

What else? Oh… I mentioned that I’m now on Season 4 of Person of Interest. This is the show’s 2nd to the last season, and I’m sad knowing the end is almost near. But I can always turn that sadness around by re-watching Person of Interest again or watching another favorite series like Chuck or How I Met Your Mother.

Moving on, what are my plans that will keep me going? I can tell 1 plan: watching the upcoming R-rated superhero movie Deadpool & Wolverine with my brothers and cousins. I’m excited to see 2 of my favorite Marvel characters team up on the big screen! Deadpool & Wolverine, in Philippine cinemas July 24, 2024.

And… that’s about it for now. Happy hump day!
