I Have Had the Worst Week This Week
Well, the last 7 days at least. In a NUTS HELL, moved to a new place.
1. So much stuff to load/unload. Had limited time prior. Not much outside help in the sorting, de-cluttering, and packing.
2. Actual moving day was horrific. Set out after midnight. Had delays unloading stuff off a huge truck and waited till morning. Total time for the move from start to finish --- 12 hours. Distance was just under 7 kms.
3. Locked out of the old apartment and had to go over a high wall to get back inside --- and I was on my way to work.
4. Fatigued, sore muscles and all, I fell ill after 2 days at the office because the blasted AC temp was on so low. Called in sick the next day.
5. Had laryngitis the following day.
6. Weekend was relentless. So much stuff needed to be cleared out at old place. Take note, still sick.
7. 2 more days on sick leave, settling in still in progress. My bed still does not have sheets --- I don't know where to find the fresh linen.
8. The night before I reported back to work, I got locked out at new place. Tried to sleep in a covered open space nearby, grimy, sick and sleep-deprived.
9. Was let inside the new place, few hours of sleep, then back to work, still sick, hoarse and coughing. Saw a doc for prescribed meds on the side.
10. Back to work --- company nurse sent me back home. No one with acute upper respiratory tract infection allowed. So I continue to work at home.
11. No internet service but using my mobile phone as a hotspot. No, I can't really watch Netflix right now.
I hope it's going to be better the rest of the week. Hey, been staying here at the new place for a week now. I think I only slept for 4 nights.
