Changes.

No, not yet time to spell out my New Year's resolutions. The changes I mean are the ones happening in the body as one gets, well...older.

Like I've never been this sick in my whole life. I just caught the flu bug! Thank God, it is the common flu bug. For a while I self medicated on nuprofens and then acetaminophen, but as the fever raged on, I consulted a walk-in clinic doctor, who prescribed antibiotics.

But the ague's went on - chill, fever, muscle weakness, etc - that I ran to the emergency one evening, and with x-ray done, the good lady doctor smiled at me and proclaimed, "it's just the ordinary bug, so we just have to let the virus take its ordinary course." Was I relieved!

So, finally today after almost 10 days, I am beginning to walk steadily, and tasting food the way they should taste. But it was ten long, boring, fearful days. I imagined so many stories in my mind and have gone to so many places in my sleep, and ended up being just me and being just in my room in Toronto.

I guess my body just succumbed to the many pressures I've just went through in the last few months.

Well, there's still time to prepare for the Holiday Season..... Ho, ho, ho.
