Taking care of myself

Being sick is bad but to be sick in a foreign place is worse. You have to perform daily chores such aspreparing your meals even though you are tired and feeling unwell.

It started with throat irritation on Wednesday. Sucking lozenges did not help, so I prepared sour plum with honey. My sored throat recovered but I started to cough.

After self medicating by buying cough syrup from the pharmacy, I was able to control my coughing. But with the bad weather due to Hurricane Ernesto, my nose started to run and now I have blocked nose.

A good thing this Monday is Labor Day in USA. An extra day of rest for me to recuperate and recover.
