38.8

Ash Like Snow by The Brilliant Green

At home. Running a fever. 38.8 when I last checked. Joints hurt. No running nose. No cough. Took medication a while back. Today is the second day. Went to Dr. Lee. I'm under observation. If the fever persists until Wednesday, I'll have to go for a blood test. No point testing now he says. He suspects that its dengue. That or a viral fever.

If its dengue, I'm so screwed. I'm missing Japanese. Work. Driving. There's SYF on Wednesday. My outing with the girls on Friday. CATS next Tuesday. SAT I next Saturday. Lousy timing huh? Yes. I've had dengue before. It lasts a long while. Your joints hurt like anything. I can eat anything I want, but I usually do not have much of an appetite when I'm ill with ever. I think its psychological. Simply because I do not have a flu which affects my taste perception. Food does not appeal to me when I'm unwell. My body works in strange ways. I dont understand, but at my age, you start to accept that your body has its own quirks. You either work around and with it, or you suffer. I'm no masochist. So guess which I pick?

Yeah. I'm killing time until I can sleep again. I'm spamming like 20 hours a day. My eyebags still wont go away. I have a nagging suspicion that its permanent. Oh well. This is notice to all my friends that if I'm ill. So yes. There will be a lag time for me to reply your SMS, phone calls, emails and the like. Those who have absolutely nothing to do can come visit me. I'm bored out of my wits. And I cant go out because I dont have the strength. Joint aches, remember? I will be at home rotting away. Trying to study for the SAT as I harbour hope that its a viral fever. Not like its likely.
