I need sleep...

Once again, due to my cough, I did not sleep well. It seemed to have worsen over the past few days since Sunday. And yesterday was pretty bad. I just simply could not stop my itchy throat from coughing out.

Called MH due to a delivery and she could not even recognize my voice as I had to struggle very hard to finish a sentence without coughing. That is how bad it is.

At night, I went to bed at around 12+ am. As I was drifting into dreamland, I was woken by unstoppable cough. Drank water (had it beside my bed) but it doesn't help. I coughed till my mum came over to my room then she went to get warm water for me. Seemed like it help and I stopped coughing after that.

But after drinking so much water, I kept wanting to go to the washroom. And so after all the coughing and high tide, I was kind of wide awake for quite. Received a sms from MH at round 1+ am so I replied her since I was wide awake. Only felt sleepy at around 2+ am.

During the time when I was wide awake, once in a while, I would sneeze. I think it's my nose that is giving way again. The first few days with bad cough, I got block nose and I can feel especially in the morning that the mucus back flow and accumulated at the back of my throat that cause my throat to be itchy. And yesterday night, I can feel my nose not quite in shape so I search for medication to take. I do not want to fall ill...

And this morning when I woke up, I felt as though I did not sleep at all or didn't sleep enough. When I board the bus, my eyelids were so heavy that they keep closing on me. I had to struggle to keep them open especially when I was 1 or 2 stops to my destination.

When I reach my desk, I just dropped dead on the table till Cecilia nudged me twice and showed me her outdoor photo shots. But still, I am still not in the state of being alert.

And today, I do not feel my cough is any better or worst yet. Maybe it's the same as yesterday. Anyway, I had been making chrysanthemum drink for myself for the past few days. Hope it will help soothe my throat.
