What a crazy January!! After a merry trip from Hong Kong, we suffered 2 weeks of jet lag. Not only Connie and I rested so little, but it was the kids who kept waking up early in the mornings (e.g. 3 am, being very energetic) Now we know the 'pain' of taking kids on a trip is not during the flight, but to endure the jet lag afterwards.
I fell sick probably due to the restlessness of this new rhythm of life. It was most likely a fiercesome flu which struck me down for more than 10 days!! Those days were really dark: Sleep...get up for classes...eat little...sleep again. School work came to an halt. Connie, Abby and Elly moved to the study room. I was 'quarintined'.
I really feel bad for not bing able to take care of the family. I haven't been so sick for a long time, which made me really treasure a healthy body. Now I'm still feeling weak...keep wearing 4 layers of clothes all the time. May this dark time be gone soon.
Dear God, you are the giver of life. May your light shine upon me. Cast away the darkness in me.
