Bachelor of Covidology

February is a month to remember, it taught me life is full of surprise.

Expect less, give thanks more in what I have

Appreciate little things that I may take for granted

It's all began last sunday afternoon when I felt a mild sore throat and I knew something was not right with my body as I seldom get sick. I started to drink lots of water as that's what I always do when I am about to fall sick. I never come across that Mr. C will pick me.

The next day when I woke up, I still felt the same so I took ART. My first ART was negative and felt awkward I used another ART and voila it turned out POSITIVE.

Thanks God I was still okay in the morning only mild sore throat and I just drank lots of water literally and wore masks. I didn't really isolate myself in the room since I still need to do household chores, taking care the kids and cooking.

However, in the evening after sunset, fever started to climb up and reached 38.8 deg C. I was so lethargic and no strength. The only thing I could do was closing my eyes.

Hubby quickly bought ibuprofen to help my fever down and it worked and I could sleep well the whole night and felt so fresh in the morning.

On Tuesday morning, I was so energetic and did my usual household chores etc and didn't feel that I was sick except mild sore throat only.

Again, in the evening, the fever started to climb up again and its peak was 38.3 deg celcius. I drank ibuprofen and it came down and I can sleep well.

On Wednesday morning, I felt so good and again did my usual activity. The sore throat changed to mild cough and runny nose, I needed to use pillow to support my head up so the phlegm didn't choke me.

In the evening, I had mild fever around 37.8 deg C.

On Thursday morning, hubby was tested positive since he stayed together with me in the same room, it's expected that he will join the club.

I was feeling great on Thursday however in the evening I started to lose my taste and smell eventhough it's mild and had blocked nose too and no more fever.

It happened around 2 days until Friday.

On Saturday, I was 95% fit and when I tested myself, the second line was light so I knew I will be having negative soon.

And Sunday, finally I saw it only one line and graduated from Covid Experience.

Thanks God that I and hubby are doing well, eventhough his experience was a bit longer than me.

Thanks God our kids are well and negative all the way eventhough we didn't isolate ourselves properly.

We are super grateful for our friends and family who prayed and sent us a lot of food, medicine and goodies to cheer us up.

A Burger Date

It feels like it's been ages to have a date night with hubby, thus before my parents going back to Indo we decided to have a couple date over burger as I have been craving with Hans I'm Gluck burger. We went there, enjoying the burger and companion of each other and talking about anything, something that we are used to have but no longer anymore after I took a new role in the company. Then, I accompanied him to shop at H&M before heading back home. It's one of the best burgers I ever had since I am in fasting the whole day for a week. The perk of fasting is I could appreciate the food and enjoy it.

Jubilee Year - Year of Hope (2025)

Year of Hope: A Personal Reflection on 2025 The year 2025 has been declared a Jubilee Year, a Year of Hope by the Pope—a time for peace, joy, and prosperity. For many, entering a new year brings feelings of happiness and optimism. However, I find myself on a different path, starting the year with anxiety and uncertainty rather than joy and hope. For me, 2025 is a year of the unknown. It marks the first time in four years that I will not hold the title of a working mom. Transitioning from this identity feels daunting and unfamiliar. It is also the year I plan to embark on a new venture: starting a winter rental business. This endeavor excites me but is fraught with challenges. There are countless pieces of the puzzle yet to be solved, and I pray for wisdom and the support of "ordinary angels" to guide me through. This is also a pivotal year for our family. Two of our children will face major exams. While I know the journey matters more than the results, I hope they develop s...
