Post Holiday Blues

Evil = having to come back to work after a 6 ½ day break.

Evil = having a bad flu for 4 ½ days of said break.

Evil = having to drink half a litre of something that smells like feral rotting vegetables & stewed old socks, brewed by a tyrant mother and touted as a sure-cure for the flu-induced scratchy throat

Evil = having to still love one’s tyrant mother even though stupid sucky stinky disgusting brew didn’t work. As expected. I can't eye-roll enough.

Evil = losing sense of taste, due to said flu. Feed me sawdust bricks instead of rendang and I wouldn’t know the difference.

Evil = losing sense of smell, due to said flu, when one is a smell monster.

Never realised how essential my sense of smell is to me until last night when -

1) I couldn’t appreciate my newly-opened bar of Dettol Cool soap; and

2) it hit me that I couldn’t smell Snowdrop and hadn’t in a week!

No wonder I’ve been feeling as if we’ve been apart all week despite, like... not.

Bai dose iz dill glogged up.

Boo... Hiss.

You poor cow.

Snowie must be holding your hooves with her trotters every day to sayang you .

When you get better, go treat yourself to a nice-nice smelling meal and breathe it all in! GET WELL SOON!

Poor you, Spot! Get well soon! Piglet No.1 is down with leaky faucet runny nose and hyena cough. I knew him going back to Ipohland without his mommy is a BAD idea. Grrr....never again!
