2I definitely was at 1% last night.
Took some medicines, went to sleep and woke up with the fever gone.
I was happy because i fucking hate fever and cough and cold.
I was standing at 30% because my body was still hurting pretty bad and the cough was still there.
By the time i reached office I fell sick again. The 101 fever came back and i absolutely lost my shit. Somehow managed to have lunch and take the medicine one more time while standing again at 1% and then rushed back home.
I slept through the day. Had some spicy soup and now I'm feeling a bit better. Currently I'm at 40% because I still feel feverish and the cough is killing me like literally.
But let's hope that by tomorrow morning I'll get well and will be able to have atleast 90% battery charged.
Woke up with cramps at 7. I thought getting your periods at night is worse because that ruins your capability to sleep peacefully at night and also ruins your next day.
But honestly getting periods at any point of the day sucks. I was really going to power through and go to office. But I really couldn't. Woke up, decided to brush and bath, and ended up turning the water up and then coming back to bed.
So yeah battery started with 10% early morning.
I slept for some more time.
Woke up at 11
Battery was at 20
If I was on a leave then might as well clean the house, do all the pending work, do the dishes, cook something, be productive, right?
Wrong.
That's not how it happens.
Laid in bed. Watching Thunderbolts because why not? Ain't no better movie to watch when you are down.
Had "breakfast" at 2pm.
I really needed a fresh start. Finally dared to book help from urban clap for the dishes and the house cleaning. The dishes had been piling up since 2 weeks. I had not cooked at all. I ordered every single day. All because my hand was hurting.
It felt really bad asking for external help. It just doesn't sit right with me. But I had to finally do it. I'm not a strong independent woman anymore. I'm just independent, the "strong" is slowly going away from me with one injury after another.
Felt shitty while she was doing her work but once she left and I saw how clean everything was, boy did it feel good.
The rest of the day went in lazing around on the bed and reading a book.
My back hurts, my leg hurt because of the cramps but I fell hopeful for tomorrow. I'm recharging. Battery is at 50%. By tomorrow morning I'll be fully charged🤞🏻
