*cough-cough*
My chest hurts because the phlegm is deeply embedded in the alveoli yet the cough is dry, but if I coughed hard enough, then solid clumps of phlegm will fly out. Literally. Every time I cough, my head hurts like hell. Never before. It hurts to the point I just want to stop coughing and end life right there. Yet, the phlegm so wants to come out. Urgh. Sinus pressure causing the headaches, I’m assuming. Even when I blow my nose, it is solid clumps of coloured mucus. Sorry to gross you out but I have nothing else better to do right now. Is your nose feeling itchy? Are you feeling woosy already? My eyes are watering and oh, how my body hurts! It hurts like I’ve been squeezed into a 2 feet by 2 feet box for 8 hours!! I’ve been having this blinking flu that T2 passed me for more than a week!!! Enough already!!!
And I only had 3 hours of sleep last night. How is that, you ask? Well, I had to go out for a business meeting and I can only do that AFTER the kids are in bed. Thus by the time my meeting actually started, it was a good 1am before I arrived home and then of course, I just HAD to stick the thumb drive my boss had just given me to start work. Work is SO MUCH MORE FUN than taking care of babies……no kidding. This is my 7th year going, shut up.
And before I knew it, T2 was awake.
What a busy day it has been. I’m hammered.
I spent the whole morning chasing down Blackberries and trying to get some business phone lines sorted and then searched into accommodation options and tried to make a bank transaction. All of which got my blood pressure soaring. Now I remember why I quit work. Could it be because the systems in Malaysia just drove me mad?
Take this example. I applied for a bank account 2 months ago. 6 weeks later, they sent me my click-click security clicker after me hounding them over and over and over and when I finally tried making a transaction today, there was a problem. Now, wouldn’t that just PISS you off??? And I’ve been calling the bank for weeks on end always talking to different people, being passed on from A to J, when finally today, I screamed at them. I SCREAMED SO LOUD until I don’t even know myself what I was saying to them for the words just SHOT OUT LIKE A ZOOMING ROCKET and finally, someone paid me some attention. Did it have to resort to this? Ahhh…..orgasm.
All this while I was coughing, head pounding with nerve pain and baby going “Mama! Mama! MAMA!! MAMA!!!”
And do you know why the bank didn’t want to pay me any attention? Because I did not have 20 million in the bank account. Sad, but true. Those that did were on the high priority list and unfortunately, there just wasn’t enough staff in the branch to share between all the corporates. Well, I will certainly remember this when the bank account does fill up and hit 20 million.
In order to facilitate this banking transaction, I needed more signatures thus had to bring my hungry, cranky brood after school to the city centre to get those signatures so I could deliver the forms again to the bank tomorrow. I feel like a driver. Hang on. I was employed as the office boy so what am I saying?
And then I had to deal with the bloody Telcos. They are all just as bad!!! I”ve been dealing with these guys for weeks, getting quotes and deals from them, negotiating for better packages etc and suddenly today when I finally have my Blackberries ready to commit, I am told I can’t. MFMRTTMWMMIFA. Now, you go figure out what swear phrase that was. If you want to, that is.
I was told I didn’t have enough users yet to open a corporate account. Well, why the fuck did they not tell me that there would be a minimum requirement in the beginning instead of wasting everybody’s fucking time?! And guess what? You can hardly ever get anyone on their help lines. Customer service, it seems………I’m so done. All I want to know is, what do I have to bring in order to open a corporate account? Why isn’t this information available??? I don’t want to waste time dragging a baby into town only to find out I need another fucking company form!
My T2, she’s been acting up of late. Everything I say not to do, she does. Everything I say to do, she doesn’t do. She is really driving me bananas! And the worst is when I have a really busy day and need her to CO-OPERATE…….this minx is approaching her TERRIBLE TWOS and is far more TERRIBLE than her sister ever was, I swear.
This weekend, we already go to Kota Bharu and the home is still not in order. Oh, God. What am I doing? I am so stressed!!! Please, just make this damn chest infection GO. AWAY!

Oooh…a brain teaser! I love ’em. Let’s see…..
Marder fugger….sumting sumting sumting..fugging a-hole.
Geeee! That’s hard Wei!!
I think living a hectic life without sufficient sleep and all makes our immune rather weak.
I had it y’day and submitted my mc form the the night, leaving the kids to the father and slept through the nite, today I felt fresh and energized. That’s how a good sleep can do to us.
Plus for the chesty cough, try some manuka honey+lemon+propolis honey drops….I am playing a doctor here but sharing some of the home remedies which i often practise whenever my immune drops…but it’s a slow and steady healing…without taking antibiotic that is…if need fast remedy had to look for western medicine i guess..
Take care and may Patsy regain health soon!
A healthy mom is a happy mom!
oh no…do take it easy..Take a deep breath, focus, re-priotise, re-energised.
*hugs*
The fact that you’re stressed out over work AND baby isn’t going to make your infection go away. Can your work hold for 2-3 days? Try NOT juggling everything for the next couple of days (good timing since you’re off to KB anyway) and let the body and mind heal. You owe that to yourself.
you’re lack of rest. pls find some time to sleep well n rest o/wise the whole mumbo jumbo will SNOWBALL.. set work aside n rest well in KB.
