Kind of Series of Unfortunate Events

I was working with my report in the spreadsheet for a couple of hours since I logged in at 8AM then suddenly the power shut off. I wasn’t able to save my work because the UPS failed too. In short, my PC was turned off right away.

I heard from the neighborhood that the transformer attached to a post in the next block had some sort of electrical short circuit, although the reason for the sudden burst was yet to be confirmed.

I was kind of devastated because every third day of the month is the deadline for my report and electrical issues like this take long hours to resolve. My work around was to go to the office to finish the task. However the weather was bad and seems to coincide with the scenario.

I texted my boss about the issue and then notified the department to which I will be sending the report that there will be a delay in submission due to sudden electrical outage in our area.

It happened at around 10 AM so we had our lunch with ring lights on. Good thing I have several power banks for emergencies like this. We are almost done with our lunch with fried boneless bangus (milkfish) on the table. It was paired with chopped cucumber soaked in sweetened vinegar, bananas and green kamote leaves, then the power resumed. Hallelujah!!

So after lunch and a few minutes letting my tummy digest the foods, I continued what I have started with my reports. Suddenly I felt heat on my ears and at the back of my neck. I also felt dizzy and started having a headache. I was uncomfortable. The heat keeps on rising until my face becomes reddish. Then in the next few minutes I have red spots on my neck and chest then it goes down to my arms. My skin started to become itchy. I was like having an adrenaline rush.

I told my wife to take a look and she was alarmed with my condition. I just have a food allergy. It happens very seldom but this is the third time I was allergic to fish food and it’s kind of different this time because I get a headache. Unlike the previous food allergies I have experienced, I did not feel a headache.

Nevertheless it was tolerable so I didn’t stop working because I need to submit the report before 5PM today.

A circumstance like this is not that serious and we can cure it with home remedies.  I didn't research about the cure for such allergies but whenever I am having food allergies I take one tablespoon of sugar then drink cola. I have inherited this remedy from my mother and it’s kind of effective. After an hour my condition slowly went back to normal although I had to take ibuprofen for the headache.

Anyway I was able to finish my report and meet the deadline. It was kind of a bad day for me today but don’t you worry nothing serious happened with yours truly.

I am starting to sponsor users again so make sure to be active always. Don’t feel bad because the robot does not tip you well. Don’t expect too much. Just write.
