i caught the bug again!i couldnt recall, but mum said i've been sick for at least 3 times already within this year. good health doesnt seem to be on my calender any time in this month. the weather's been bad, the changes to temperature unexpected and way too cold for my own liking. but that't not how i fell.
it all started with one guy and now at least 4 people have been infected by that same bug that's been passing around. jason got the flu, and he has yet to recover since 3 weeks ago. richard's one guy that never falls prey to illness, and now he's down with the same bug that he caught from jason while hanging out together.
richard's got it bad, and because he has 2 other work colleagues residing in the same house as him, he's got him infected as well. gary's got the flu a few days after richard and jess, a week later (when she discovered it was already too late to move into her bf's apartment).
now jess had no choice but to come to work with a sorethroat, since wendy-boss wldnt give her leave, for the fact that she already had 2 staff on leave. i worked with jess that wednesday, and was unlucky myself. i had the sorethroat on that night itself and reported sick on thursday.
today, i went training with the rest, half expecting the amount of work to be done in today's rowing. believe me, i nearly died on the way back. i was so exhausted and was breathing so heavily, that even the sharon in the 3rd seat had to constantly ask if i could carry on. i guess it was pure stubborness, i wanted my team to carry on, so i had to since i was in the stroke seat.
starts : consists of 4 strokes to get the boat moving. paul made us do circuit rows- fast and hard strokes in preparation for the sprints 0n sept 13, starts-10, starts- 20, starts-10-normal row throughout. when we got together with jo's double, we did 5 small starts competitive, and ended up losing fairly because we had to carry paul's "weight" as well;D followed by starts-30 and long-d back to the boat shed. i was flat-out.
i slept the 2 hours before work started at subway. not surprising, i guess i pushed myself too hard, i ran a slight fever. hehe;D ...and i passed that fever to may, while working beside her. i guess i was working so hard, i perspired and the fever left me good. she was tired out even beforehand before i passed it. she felt dizzy and hot-headed halfway through her shift and was sent home, because she just couldnt work. ouch, now i feel bad.
i've been a bad girl this week. ann's supposely called me a bitch in front of everyone in dk in my dream. but the facts were real. she was angry with me because i told her i couldnt work for dk anymore, given studies and training commitments, plus family as well. i thought the new girl was hired to cover my shift but instead it was otherwise and she was fed up because of that. gosh, i cried in my sleep because of that.
im exhausted.
i wish i could stop the clock, and make time stand still.
catch a breather,
and twist the dial backwards to relive life again.
