down with the flu



 i started feeling sick last thursday. i had the difficulty to breath. a familiar feeling actually. something like how it felt when i had an asthma attack when i was younger. i've been sneezing a lot and coughing. 

i don't usually get sick. not even with the flu. with this pandemic going on around us, i feel alarmed but not to the highest level. i've been taking great precaution.  but i guess, once in a while my immune system weakens, too. 

yesterday, i was just home, reading and watching videos in bed. i was okay and wasn't really bothered by the flu. after dinner, we watched a movie in the living room. while laying on the sofa, i had to turn around a little bit because i found it hard to breath. daddy opened the window right away and the fresh air helped. before i know it, he was already calling to the emergency clinic. he was telling them my symptoms and asked for a COVID test. i was shocked! i mean, yes, i'm quite sick but not so sick. i protested about going to the clinic because i didn't think it was necessary and i didn't want to spread any virus there. but he insisted. 

about 11 o'clock in the evening, we drove to the clinic. they checked my temperature, took a blood sample and the doctor checked on me. he said, there's nothing that looks unusual. i had a little fever, nothing to be alarmed of. he told me to take paracetamol.

i said my thanks and got out of there as fast as i could. 

i still feel a bit down. i didn't sleep well last night because of my cough. but other than that, i'm fine. 

this baby is keeping me company

p.s. stay safe, everyone 😊
