D1 AZ

Got my AstraZeneca yesterday from leftover stock around 16:10

There was some tingling along my right medial calf during the last consult, but it only lasted for seconds

Today the injection site will announce its presence whenever I’m abducting my shoulder

Felt feverish

Throat is a little congested

The last week of rain surely take a toll on others lah

But I do feel tired, had slept after the shower, but I feel like I can even sleep now

Người có lòng?

Vào những ngày mưa rơi lất phất lại muốn coi phim, nhâm nhi chút ấm áp và thả mình vào một miền ký ức.

Đã lâu rồi không thật sự coi phim, hôm qua lại vô tình lướt qua The Half of it, và tất nhiên thì ngày càng không thể coi phim lại muốn xem phim. Tới hôm nay khi được thả mình rồi thì lại không dám xem nữa. Nhịp điệu nhẹ nhàng và tông màu man mác của phần mở đầu tán tỉnh của hai bạn nhân vật chính chợt mang bản thân về những năm tháng chập chững làm người lớn, kiếm phim như mình vừa coi vừa ấm ức. Cũng hay, chị đạo diễn phim này cũng đạo diễn Saving face nè, cảm thấy sắc màu giông giống, vẫn đượm buồn.

Đôi lúc xem một chút lại khơi gợi một miền cảm xúc đã ngủ vùi từ đâu..

Lại thèm nghe 1 bài nhạc cũ, nhấm nháp chút tư vị bỗng nhiên đã cũ

Day 1

Mild URTI yesterday, dry cough, the slightest rhinorrhoea, mildly tender throat. Tympanic temp 37.1

With everything that has been going on, what’s with the rain and the cold, this is not unexpected. On arrival I quickly found out that the one of the toilet pipe had fallen from the outpour the night before. Not to fear, room sprays work a treat for those sewagey odour! Otherwise the surface spray has this nice soft refreshing lemongrass scent, it’s such a shame we can’t spray it everywhere. It’s functioning kinda like a barrier against COVID these days too

Since I still have a nostril, and atlas was banished to fever clinic

Surprisingly after waiting for about 30 minutes in the cold verandah, thankfully sheltered from the drizzling rain, I was found to have a mild fever at 38.1…wth..how am I not hypothermic

The swab was quick but uncomfortable, and I’m sure it was bloodstained in the fluid transport medium. They only went to mid-turbinate, I was already psyched for nasopharyngeal swab so yay, win!!

And yesterday was basically lounging in iso, weekend plans were out of the window

Day 2 of waiting, and already I’ve about out of things to YouTube. Good thing I’m back to gaming, and Obra Dinn had been riveting. But I want to jump back to P5R and smash that Okumura boss fight damnit

Legit photo of me walking to and from fever clinic yesterday

Quạu

Nhiều lúc muốn quạu thật sự, mà hey, I don’t want to make you worried

in a way, I hope you would too

It’ll make me feel less afraid, less lonely

Cũng có người hiểu tớ mà

nhỉ?

Hình như Q quá vô cảm rồi… xin lỗi cậu

It which must not be named

It’s been ongoing since Feb. Mom and dad stayed for over a month, it was our taste of the lock down that was to come

It’s nice have them spend the time with us, being family again, being together again. Quarrelling and getting mad at each other again. So very docile, fuzzy and frustrating, but hey, that’s family no?

Now that they’re home, our battle started

It feels odd, confronting my morality at the turn of a new decade

I suppose that’s what our parents went through, except their life is on the line 50 odd years ago, all day everyday. You don’t know if you’d make it another day

At the start, there was the almost daily barages of information pooling in, China in a lock down, people panicked, pandemonium ensued

And then it hit closer and closer to home

I’d worked during the day, with the rising number of cases, of presentations and scrambling for PPE and handwash and toilet paper, and ScoMo would come on at night to waffle around and threw bombshells.

Y như bị pháo kích mỗi đêm, không khi nào ngừng nghỉ. Lúc nào cũng nơm nớp lo lắng

And then news and stories would be streaming in, and it hit closer and closer to Bathurst, fancy that

It’s odd hearing your colleagues on the States having their wills done, moving out of their family home, battling ARDS and working as makeshift ED docs (widely out of their expertise)

You’d panic. I’d panicked.

A close friend in Canberra is already working off minimal PPE with COVID 19 patients, and she’s young, and she’s scared

I’m also scared, I don’t want to be exposed unknowingly to asymptomatic carriers and bring it home on my weekly trip back home. I don’t want to spread it to my most vulnerable, and yet I still want to seek that comfort of home.

And yet here we are, if ED is asking, we Ll know I’d say yes in a heartbeat. Fluvax already in my system, praying for the best and planning for the worst

Here’s to hoping that the empty EDs and wards are just us overreacting

Here’s to hoping the social distancing and self-isolation would end

Here’s to hoping we’d make out of this unscathed, with our sanity relatively intact

Three cheers..

8.4.2020

I suppose I’m feeling rotten right now

Things are running again in circles

We are, in some way, better than we were 10 years ago. We at least made the effort to pick up the call

I feel my patience slipping away

Is this part of growing old? Or maybe just part of the chronic stress that’s grinding everyone down from a tiny micron?

I’m so tired

I’m really, so tired..

Sorry

White day

Sáng nay đúng là thấy cả cơ thể rệu rã, có vẻ như cơn cảm này sắp qua rồi, để còn chuẩn bị cho đợt sóng tiếp đang đánh lên

Khuya ngủ vật vờ, não toàn nghĩ chuyện gì đâu. Sáng 4h quạo quá ra đi tắm, rồi lại lăn qua lăn lại, cỡ 6h30 hơn mới dỗ lại giấc.

Tuần này mới làm 4 ngãy rưỡi thôi mà đã muốn rệu rồi, những ngày tới không biết chịu sao nữa. Đây là tuổi 30 trong truyền thuyết?

Hãy cứ là Q của mọi ngày đi

Stay sane!

Happy birthday

I was informed that this little blog is turning 8 now, how quickly does time fly.

I suppose the extreme heat is devastating

Rest well Meow Meow, at least now you won’t have to fight with Cookie over dog food anymore. It amazes us to no end how you could thrive so well despite all odds.

Even I haven’t seen Tiểu Hổ for a while

Sweet dreams Meow Meow

Sleep tight!

Still reeling from the series of stupid mistakes made yesterday

Bloody focking hell

Khi ngực khó chịu

Nhìn hình bạn, lòng chợt bớt bận bịu

Đôi khi thật tốt khi không thể thấy

Mình còn muốn ngấy mình

Muốn phát tiết nhưng còn không kiếm được một lý do ra hồn

F…
