Been home for the last 2 days, due to a bad throat infection. The viral infection has spreaded to my voice apparently resulting in my super "sexy" voice. Doctor ordered me to talk less, in fact to not talk if possible. Which is hard, considering my inquisitive and basically over-active mouth. Shall try to zip up for the rest of the week at least, until I feel the strain on my throat all gone.

Feels like crap
The late night yesterday seems to have taken its toll. The sore throat is sore AGAIN. The blocked nose is still there (though the running seems to have stopped). And the cough is getting from bad to worse. As much as I wish to go back to office tomorrow to clear my piled-up work, I'm in the 心有余而力不足 state.
Time for medicine and catch more rest.

Feel like crap.
Feel like crap.
"45 Lessons Life Taught Me" by Regina Brett
Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio
"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's,we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."

Feeling the burn
Needed to vent some frustration, actually more of needing to nag. Been so worn out the past month plus that even a short getaway didn't really help. My mind's been on work despite the long weekend, which doesn't help in the hectic weeks to come. Now I understand why people don't appreciate holidays during busy times. Holiday = less working days, which is supposed to be a good thing. BUT, as workload remains equal, less workdays = longer working hours, which is crap. I was walking to the interchange after work to catch a bus home, and I couldn't help but feel sad (not yet depressed, fortunately) that I missed the sun. It was a stark difference from when I went home early one day (efficiency was like zilch that day) and I felt good. So good that I finished dinner chatted online, played game and woke up happy the next day.
I should really do something about how I think about my work. As of current state the detestation is just festering in me, and if I don't rid it, I'm gonna start hating myself. That's in the worst-case scenario of course. But, in my definition, imaginable equates possible, so I'm not taking my chances.
