Christmas Flu #Freewrite

There's always something that goes down every time I make some commitments to myself. Like me thinking I'd be doing at least a post a day! Sigh. The last few days have been blanketed by a disastrous flu. The kind that can't let you go anywhere near your laptop without soiling the keyboard with thin mucus. The fever itself though and the throbbing headaches wouldn't have even let me worry about posting anything here.

The weather was not helping too; as by mid mornings would be plagued by an afternoon sun and by the afternoon, the day would have had already turned white. Imagine a flu in that kinda heat. I was fatigued and dehydrated to a point of being incapable of replying my WhatsApp texts. Even from those people who were simply concerned and wishing me good health like @mammasitta whom we always keep in touch.

This was how my boxing day went down after spending Christmas in bed ruminating on my own words. I didn't know saying that it will find me in bed meant that I would be sick. But Christmas indeed found me in bed and left me there when it 'faded into history' like I had said it would. Out here being prophetic and all!

But it was fine as I am now much better thanks to tonnes of porridge, hot water and antibiotics! Nothing else tasted like anything edible. My tastebuds had quit on me for those few days and since eating is a task even when I am healthy-quickly throws a glance at the cold food on my left as I type this- I couldn't be bothered to force myself.

Eating is hardwork if you asked my drinking mouth.

From having superficial Christmas Allergies seven days ago to having such weaponize into a mean flu! Who would have known this can actually happen? xD

So how was your Christmas on your end now that I am back. Do tell... :D
