Well, my whole family is sick; I mean really sick. My sister has been battling a cold on-and-off for weeks, a virus that she got from her kids. My sister’s two (most awesomest) kids also have been sick on-and-off for the past few weeks. My nephew got it the worst with a severe sore throat, shortness of breath, fever spells, diarrhea, & etc. At least my niece is all well & good now, but last week during my nephew’s birthday everybody was on the outs. My sister was on the down-slope of her virus roller coaster, my brother-in-law was just starting to feel that first-sign tickle in his throat, my mom was battling a runny nose & my dad was developing a nasty & severe chest congestion (one he’s been getting at the exact same time every year for the past 3 years).
Oh, & did I mention that I’ve been battling a cold virus + fever on-and-off ever since the Thanksgiving holidays? I just recently discovered that I now have an ear infection to go along with my tapering sinus congestion & the last remnants of my own cold virus. My fiancee was also on the outs as well, battling sinus & chest congestion which has since been remedied by taking lots of Mucinex™ & his mom’s miracle Cantonese-style herbal soup.
Needless to say, this has been an awkward 3 weeks. We have all battled & powered through our various symptoms & viruses. Some of us are still on this wacky roller coaster ride of ailing symptoms. Some of us are just about to cross that metaphorical finish line. I just hope everyone of us is well straight through into the new year.
Woof.
I’ve been sick for the past week, & I’ve had such a nasty sinus congestion + a recent nagging cough. I’ve finally decided to try one of those Breathe Right nasal strips (that I originally bought for my fiancée’s intense snoring). I’m excited to say that this strip thing is actually working!! Now I can breathe properly for the first time in days (& sleep well)!!! Now, let’s see how long this damn cold is going to last…
After sifting through all of my old photos & videos of my past Xmas trip to Tokyo, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about taking another overseas vacation. This year, I’ve been really getting into the Holiday spirit, & I really enjoyed all of the Xmas displays & Holiday light shows blooming all over Tokyo. This really makes me miss the whole experience, & I wish I could go back to Japan again soon.
All of this really got me thinking about planning a new trip to Japan again, & I am really getting excited about it. I understand that I have very important events that will take a big chunk of moola from my budget, but I really think that we will be able to make this all happen.
