Bye Bye Cold
It has been over a week since my last post. I have been resting a lot after days of lack of sleep and getting sick. I’m feeling so much better now and I’m hoping not to get sick again any time soon. In the midst of being sick and all, I have also been busy installing programs and transferring files from one hard drive to another. I want everything to be prepared before I start using a different computer, OCD much?
The house is also in order for a change. I have been cleaning our humble abode – putting documents, ink cartridges, medicines and whatnots where they belong. Organizing helps me when I’m having a scatterbrain day. For today, there are a lot more chores to be done and an event to attend tonight. This is going to be a busy and tiring day/night!
Post Halloween
Halloween is all over and done with but there are still two pumpkins waiting to be carved. Life has been busy lately so other things have taken the backseat. I grew up considering November as the Halloween month anyway. Talking about being busy, yesterday I had my checkup with the MD. I was hoping I will be finally off of my meds but it was the complete opposite. He increased the dosage because I’m below the therapeutic level in my blood. Oh well, I will just have to be patient and wait till I reach my 6 months goal. Soon, I will be able to freely eat my greens again.
We also visited Dad in the hospital yesterday. He must be very bored because he has been there for a month now. The holidays are coming up soon and I wish he will be home by then. Now, I understand what relatives feel when they learned about the Mesothelioma diagnosis of a family member. We still keep on praying for his quick recovery. This has been quite stressful for him and the family. I will be so glad once he is back to his good old healthy body.
Say Ahhh
I never realized the importance of business postcards till we got one from our dentist. It was a good reminder that it’s time to have our teeth cleaned again. That’s actually the main reason we traveled up north recently. It is always pleasant to hear from the dentist that all is good with my pearlies. Anyway, I’m not the type who gets scared of dentist appointments. If you had braces just like me, you know what I mean. After 6 months, I will have a perfect excuse again why we need to take a vacation and travel back up north. *wink*
The Day After
I’m still exhausted from cleaning and washing our mountain of laundry last night. Today, I will be taking it easy. I thought about making something tonight (like what I mention in my FF entry yesterday) but something came up. The husband and I will be going to the hospital to visit FIL. He’s still sick. Please pray for him to get well. I won’t be bringing my lappy because the battery is not working too well. I need a new laptop computer soon. Anyway, computing can be done anytime. What we need is to focus on him and how he’s doing.
Why God Why

I can say that I breezed through life easily all these years. I’m not usually the one with bad news to tell. Last week though, things changed and I had my why-God-why moment. I was in a lot of pain for almost two weeks already and the incessant coughing did not help. I would wake up in the middle of the night praying “mercy, mercy please” because I just cannot take the pain anymore. After going to the doctor and taking medicines, I thought everything will be alright but little did I know that I will almost die the day after. Every time the doctors tell me that I was lucky or that I cheated death, I still can’t believe it. If I contemplate on it too long, I would sometimes burst into tears. I’m thankful that I’m alive and I think I needed this wake up call to see things differently. Though the experience was not pleasant, I learned a lot from this. My why’s were answered clearly. Now as I recuperate back to health and to life, I look forward each day I wake up. I’m thankful for being alive and for having another chance in life. This is my second life now and who knows if I will get another chance again. I will do my best to live a quality life and to value things that matter the most.
