every traveller's nightmare

Have been nursing a cold since I returned from Manila

the kind which you know you've caught the virus, but it's not yet full blown until your brain cannot function and you cannot move your body out of bed.

So I survived on panadol cold everyday and night.

Dizzy head, watery eyes, painful nose. This is not good at all.

My sleeping time has become earlier as a result - from crazy hours past 2am to right after the clock strikes 12 - which is good.

Woke up with a fright this morning - dreamt that I was back in the hotel, happily checked out, boarded plane and landed and then realised that I had left my luggage in the hotel.

Deep, undisturbed rest is really what I need to get better.
