Good to be on time or rather before time...

Good morning from this side of the planet. It's 8:35 AM and I am mylotting from my cozy blanket. It's a working day but I am still in bed. I am not keeping well and so on sick leave
. Feeling horrible with the bodyache, headache, sore throat,and temperature. 
. It's been like that since I returned from work on Wednesday. My covid report is negative and seems like it is just seasonal viral flu and I should be okay in 3_5 days. So, taking complete rest, medicine and staying hydrated.
It was a long weekend last week as Friday was a state holiday on account of a famous festival of Karnataka ( the state where I live). And Tuesday again came as a holiday for the Islamic celebration of Muharram. And I fell sick on Wednesday. So, seems like I have been at home for most part of the week.
And again the coming weekend is a long weekend as Monday is our Independence day. Good that I will get enough rest to recover.
I always prefer to be on time or before time. And it generally turns out good as the situations are unpredictable. Glad that the artwork was completed before time and it is ready before I fell sick and took off. They would celebrate independence day in the school on Friday before we go for a long weekend. I will miss it because of sickness, but good that the artwork is ready to be used as backdrop.
It's our tricolour national flag and I think that it came out perfectly.
I will catch up with all the rest I can. Feeling a little better than the last two days. Will come here to catch up with the notifications and new posts if my health allows.
Take care in your mylot corner. Be happy and cheerful.

It's the same with me. I don't like the last minute rush and try to avoid it at all costs.

@arunima25 Yup. But the most that I don't like is when they know you are punctual but purposely late.

Thank you for your prayers. It was a big relief that it's not Covid. I have gone through the nasty virus last year and dread it.

@arunima25 I had a mild case of Covid last year. Even though it was mild, I still lost my sense of smell for about 6 months. Thank goodness my smell is back now.

@LeaPea2417 It's a nasty virus and we can not undermine even the mild and asymptomatic cases. It leaves many long term effects and can damage many things for a long time

It was a big relief when the report came negative. I have been through the nasty virus last year and I dread it. I am much better now. No more temperature. Bodyache, tiredness, and weakness is there. I do need a complete rest for another couple of days to fully recover. Thank you for your concern.

It was a relief that the report came negative. Anyway taking all precautions and staying away from others. Don't want to pass it on to others. I will go for another test as well as Dengue test if things don't improve in 48 hours as suggested by the doctor. Today I was much better. There was no more high temperature but just irritating throat and a dull bodyache. Hope that it's all over soon.

@LadyDuck I have no more fever. Just exhausted and tired after these days of high fever. Doctor rules out Dengue. Just taking rest and keeping myself hydrated.
I know how horrible dengue can be. My husband had it in 2017 and he took so long to recover. I dread it.

It's difficult not to be concerned when something happens to a friend.
You deserve a few days to just rest and recuperate.

@DaddyEvil Thank you for these sweet words .
All this rest is getting me bored but I need it to fully recover. My daughter is leaving on Thursday and I have booked my flight tickets to travel with her to drop her to college. I hope that I am all okay and need not cancel the plan.

It seems that Flu, cough and cold are getting their vice like grip on many folks.
I and other family members had flu and cold around Raksha Bandhan. I got fever again the last Tuesday.
This time it took a few days for fever to get down but a lot of body ache and tiredness.
But well, at times certain things are not under our control!

Now it is tough to make out what kind of fever is there.
Some say that even people having other kind of Flu get shown as Covid positive if tested.
Have you got your booster shot?

I have heard of many catching flu like symptoms these days. I am again under the weather. Though no fever this time but still sore throat and dull bodyache is there. I thought that the weekend rest would be enough. I am feeling better but not fully recovered. I can't take any more of leave as I have taken enough. Good that Tuesday and Wednesday are holidays here and I can catch up with some more rest after tomorrow's work.
You are right that things are not always under our control.

It is just the seasonal flu going rampant here with rain and sudden unexpected weather changes. Feeling much better now. The tiredness and weakness post a viral take some time to go. I should feel all okay in couple of days.

Good that I recovered in time to travel and attend her orientation program. But I am under weather again. Feeling better after the rest on weekend but still not fully recovered. I can't take more leaves as I have already taken enough. Good that Tuesday and Wednesday are holidays here and I can catch up with some rest.
Glad that you liked the flag. Children enjoyed it and you are right that we did it over two weeks doing a little each day. So, it was a lot of time and patience there.

It's better to be on time or before time. I am rarely late and that's too when it's a genuine reason.
