At the same time, I have also been really really sick. I’ve been coughing my lungs out for the last week or so and I’ve been throwing up most of the food that I eat.

But then because I am really really busy, I can’t quite get off work to just rest and get better.

For now, I am surviving on manuka honey and will power. I go to bed at 9:30pm every night not by choice but because I fall asleep while trying to put Peanut to bed.

And then I am still tired like crazy.

Something is not very right, I thought about 2 weeks ago when I began to feel progressively worse and worse.

So we saw a doctor.

And now, I am mother of two.

Even while still trying to clear some seven and a half days more of maternity leave from having Peanut.

It’s been really interesting so far. I play a game called Food Lottery several times a day. I eat something and wait to see if I throw it up. If I do, I try again in half an hour with something different.

And then I was told yesterday that this will probably persist for another 2 to 3 weeks more.

Oh well.

If I can get through filing 3 sets of submissions one after another and doing 2 hearings in between and still answer some of my correspondence, I can get through this little inconvenience, right?

Méla can do this.
