sick

yesterday afternoon, when I was all alone at my place since my sister went to work, I suddenly felt chills all over my body. Not long after that, I had runny nose, sneezes, and my body started to warm up.

"Oh, no." I said to myself. "I need to take medicine before it gets worse."

So then I ate the spaghetti I just cooked, and I took one tablet of bodrex which I kept on my fridge. I checked the expiration date before swallowing it with a glass of water. When I was about to have a cold, I usually just sleep it off without taking any medicines. I was never fancy of that method, if it's not that bad I'd rather sleep the whole day and chug a lot of water. Considering current circumstances, where a slight cough or fever could be indications of this disease we now call COVID-19, I finally chose to take the drug, then went to sleep.

It was 5.30 pm when I dozed off, covering myself with blanket and not using any fan or AC. I wanted to sweat my body off, to let myself recover quickly. When my sister finally arrived home, I felt better, but still laid down to avoid any fatigue I might have. And now, I only have slightly stuffy nose. Thank God.
