Aloha friends!
Well, I was sick all week. I got a sore throat on Monday – but got through parent conferences. Tuesday was Halloween and I got through trick or treating but wow right after I was super exhausted and started to cough. I woke up Wednesday with a bad cough, congestion, body aches and chills. I tested negative for covid so I think I had the flu. The body aches and chills stuck around for 2 days and I even lost my voice but the coughing and congestion have been the worse. I barely had a fever but had lots of sweating (but it IS hot here in Hawaii). My birthday was yesterday and I didn’t have energy to celebrate but that’s okay because we leave for Osaka, Japan in 16 days. I’ll celebrate there! My main priority is to get better and get rid of this cough and congestion.
That was my miserable week and I didn’t get much reading done – but I did have fun with my kids on Halloween at least!
I hope all of you have a good week and thanks for reading!

Happy belated Birthday, Yolanda! Sorry to hear that you were sick through it and for the past week too. I hope you quickly recover! 😃 I do feel like there’s been something going around, even over here, because so many people have been getting ill with the same symptoms you mentioned. I hope you have a great week ahead get well soon!
Thanks Dini! I hate being sick but I am feeling somewhat better – hopefully I’ll kick by this week.
