I wasn't sick much during 2010.
But it all came down almost at once in December.
I hate missing work for any reason, but I missed several days of work with illnesses in December.
Started with a mild food poisoning in one day, I had to leave work early with nausea once, and finally after the Utah Trip, I was hit with a cold - the first cold of 2010 came only 3 days before 2011, and stayed through the 2nd day of 2011.
Yep. All I did during the NY weekend was stay home and cough/sneeze/blow my nose.
I could not concentrate on reading, so didn't read any, and I just played some PS3 games.
I still have like 6 of my PS3 games in plastic wrap, and I finally played the Batman game after holding it untouched/unopened for a year or so.
Not to mention that I forced myself to eat 3 meals a day,
which resulted in a severe weight gain in a short span of time.
At least today, I was well enough to do some apartment cleaning.
It turns out everyone who gathered for Christmas in Utah ended up being sick, so one of the people gathered was a carrier. So it was not a "lonely" illness. Also, it looked like I shares sympathy pains with several people across the globe - some of my friends in Korea and Philippines were kind enough to share the pain.
Come to think of it, this December was not so nice.
On my way to the airport to go to Utah, my car was damaged with a flying stick that cracked my bumper, grille, and took my emblem off. I am just glad that stick/pipe didn't fly to the windshield and didn't cause me any harm.
Also work-wise, this month has been a hell of a month, working almost consistently even after I got home, even during weekends and my plan to read and relax after exam was a total fail.
Of course my exam didn't go so well with my horrendous workload.
Last year, I even had luxury of mind and body to make 떡국 by myself (although I had to eat that for next 3-4 days because I cooked a huge amount). This year, I am just glad I didn't eat any instant noodles on the first day of 2011.
I originally had a plan to attend Cam's party for NYE, but I could not go and I am glad I didn't go. I worked through the night before NYE at home to finish a report that I could not finish while working from home because of sleepiness incurred by medication. I had to avoid medication through the night to stay awake and finish the report on my tiny-ass laptop, and my condition became worse by NYE evening. If I had gone, it could have been pretty disgusting for everyone.
Well, now, I think I am well enough to go to work tomorrow, so I just shaved for the first time in 5 days.
Also was able to do read some news today.
At least, it doesn't look like I will be sick on my birthday.
I already prepared for my birthday. An instant 미역국. Thanks to the freaking car incident, I don't have luxury for anything right now, plus I don't know what to buy.
I bought 2 used books for myself for Christmas, I guess I will say one of those is also for my birthday.
I could not get myself anything fancy because I did not pass any exam in 2010, so I just spent $9 for myself during Christmas, and now, that includes my birthday as well.
I should give my all for my career and my exams in 2011.
No more goofing around.
