I haven’t said anything about it, but I’m not well. Almost a month ago, I got a burn on my leg from a hot water bottle. It was pretty bad. Blister was quite big. But I left it alone to burst on it’s own and after it burst I guess I didn’t take care of it as well as I should have. Now, I have cellulitis on my leg. It’s sore. It’s itchy and it means that all my plans of trying to lose a little bit of weight before my holidays in the Philippines are down the drain. Apparently it’s one of the slowest healing things in the world.
Great.
I must’ve been taking something for granted. It’s the only reason I can think of that I would discover that I have to go home in January on my birthday, and around the same time develop an infection that will haunt me for months. I must have done something pretty awful to someone else. Why else would Karma be after me so harshly.
Oh and did I mention that I’m starting to show an allergic reaction to the antibiotics I’m taking for the cellulitis? If it weren’t for the fact that I only have two doses left to take that I’d be more upset about it all. Of course, he has been great through all of this. His Mum too. Thank goodness for them really. They’ve had me over for dinner twice this week already. She changes the dressing for me and everything. *sigh* I’m going to bed.

Hang in there. I’m sure it’s not karma. There must be a good reason for this. Be positive.
Maybe it’s just a reminder that you need to take good care of yourself and be grateful that you have him and his mom to take care of you.
Hope you get better sooner than expected.
i hope you get well soon. just hang in there and take good care of yourself.
xoxo! muahugs!
OMG, I’m so sorry to hear you’re not doing well. I’m also sorry that I don’t keep in touch more… Kinda like what you mention a couple of posts prior to this one, I’m not on the internet that much anymore!! It’s crazy how obsessed I used to be, and now I barely read my email. Things have changed so much! (And it’s not like I actually do stuff either, I still lead quite the boring life). Can you believe we’ve been visiting each other’s blogs for at least 4 years now? Crazy!! I send you lots and lots of virtual hugs
hey dear.
don’t beat urself up. tama si maeyo. i’m sure it’s not karma. usually when the body is *broken*, it’s because it’s telling you to slow down and pay attention. and the reason it’s not going away *yet* (or in other symptoms, it comes back) is because you still aren’t paying attention. 
just take care of urself and let other people take care of you.
hey on your pinas visit, no hot air balloons on december, i’m afraid.
we can do something else, like an out of town or something. we have time to research…. 
hey dear. you’ve been tagged.
Thanks for all the support everyone! Being itchy all the time makes it hard not to feel sorry for yourself.. but I’m trying!

[...] There are many types of inspiration, and like Yevka I’m not listing mine in order of priority because I think that each person has inspired me in so many different ways and that each of those ways has shaped me better than if there were only one of them. And also, I do think there are many more people that inspire me but these are the ones that come to mind at the moment while I’m trying my best not to scratch. [...]
