一放假就病

October 15 is my wedding anniversary.  Long while ago, BB and I decided to take annual leave on Oct 15 and Oct 16 for celebration.  Consequently, we had four consecutive holidays.

I once planned to go for a short trip to Sapporo as a surprise for BB.  I searched for information and drafted the itinerary.  We could take one more day off on Oct 14 to make it.  Yet, I could not go if I got pregnant.  I waited and waited and finally got the negative result on Oct 8.  I instantly called to check for flight and hotel availability.  Unfortunately, the earliest available flight/hotel would be on Oct 31.  There would be no more red or golden maple leaves at that time. 

Having just one week time, I then planned something in town.  I made reservation for a decent lunch in a new restaurant on our anniversary.  (thanks Lord that we could get a window corner seat eventually)  Then, I would bring BB to a 'romantic place' we have never been to enjoy the late afternoon/sunset and dinner.

I also planned a 'day trip' for the 16th and another special lunch on the 17th.

However, I felt uncomfortable since the night of Oct 15.  I was terribly sick on Oct 16 and I ended up staying home whole day.  I felt a bit better on Oct 17.  I knew BB wanted to attend his course study (2:30pm-9:30pm).  I let him go and I rested at home (again).  I thought we could go out on Oct 18.  Yet, my 'nasal allergy' - the sudden and serious one - came on Oct 18 and that became my most 'sick day'!  I got to rest at home (again) while I let BB attend his course study (2:30pm-6pm).

Today, Oct 19, I have minor 'nasal allergy' but I have terrible 'heavy head' and weary mind.  Tired...  Sleepy...

So, I was sick for 3 days out of 4 days holiday :(

Yet, I have to thank Lord as both BB and I were energetic on our anniversary, Oct 15 and we enjoyed our day very much!  And, being home on the 16th, I had few good conversations with BB.  We talked about an issue we used to argue with but on that day, we could accommodate each other.  Our dear Lord has helped me to change - helped us to change!
