FEELING THE BLUES



October 28, 2015

It’s that time of year again, about once or twice, when I get the blues.  The whole works—cough, cold, sore throat, headache.  I still manage to get to work though, but this afternoon, after a 5-day marathon of extreme sweltering heat (last Saturday’s grocery shopping, last Sunday’s gardening, last Monday’s frying under the sun during flag-raising, yesterday’s attendance at a tax briefing, and this morning’s attendance at the GSIS stakeholders’ dialogue), I’ve had enough.  I think I need to take a breather tonight and tomorrow.

And the doggies are feeling it too.  Mom said that Chikay seems to be really energetic playing under the heat of the sun with Summer, but when I get home, she gets all weak and sad and doesn’t like to eat.  Summer too, is joining in the bad feeling and only eating little.  I wish that we didn’t have this strong a bond, but they say your pets absorb your sickness too.  I can only pray we’d all get healed in due time.  But with the extreme heat, no rains in the last several days, exacerbated by the haze which passed over in the last few days and is now in Luzon, who doesn’t get affected?  My cough is heavy, my nasals get clogged every now and then, but thankfully I’m in the process of expectorating.  The three of us make a good chorus—while Summer and Chikay bark at passersby at home, I bark at the office.  Phew!  Arf! Arf!  Wheeze....=(
