Yesterday was one hell of a busy day for me; busy with work throughout the day, staring at that blue screen all day long with and sometimes without my glasses; those crypto charts were all over the place and that's all I see whenever I close my eyes; more like a tiny obsession. I don't wanna talk about mental stress or it'd look like I've got zero resistance to stress; truth is ... my brain works too much, more than it should and I'm always pushing it beyond it's limit each time which may be detrimental to my health. I think I need a break from it all, I need to relax l, I need a vacation; unfortunately relaxing for a day or two would be bad for business because I'd be at the losing end which I'd rather not imagine at the moment considering that at the time of writing I've got a weird headache all over me.
I get so busy most times that I sometimes do not remember to have breakfast until 12 or 1 pm which isn't a very healthy thing to do, I keep telling myself "tomorrow will be different, tomorrow will be different" but turns out that tomorrow never dies. Yesterday was even hell; woke up a bit late- a few minutes past 8 am as I had slept late the previous night, wrote my article about quitting Axie infinity and went on to other businesses in a bid to make money like we all do- don't we all. I got so engrossed with work that I didn't remember there was something called breakfast; I simply took a walk down the street to get a bottle of Pepsi (which I haven't tasted in months as it's bad for my health),went on with whatever thing I was doing, decided to test a transaction at some point by sending $105 in BCH from my bitcoin.com wallet to bitrue so I could swap to ADA for trading; the delivery took about 1 hour which was much longer than my previous experience, though I wasn't bothered as I already checked the blockchain explorer for the transaction record and saw I was in safe hands. The one hour waiting time caused a little bit of delay for me hence resulting on more time spent staring at those screen.
Long story short; I didn't remember that "breakfast was a thing" until few minutes to 7 pm when my worms decided to feed on my stomach which wasn't a very m nice experience....disadvantages of working from home..
I was fantasizing noodles with fried plantain, and fried egg- typical me; hence I took a long walk without direction in search of a plantain store which didn't exist anywhere around me. Walked for about 20 to 30 minutes while going here and there and up and down like the devil in search of plantain to devour until I couldn't go any further; it was meant to be a boring walk as I was in the business of walking alone but my earpiece was there to keep me company as I listened to my favourite British songs; Welcome to Brixton by SR, still disappointed my Stormzy, Verdansk by Dave and bla bla...all English songs. If my calculations are not wrong, I think@mommykim is in the UK hence she should know these artists mentioned. I sincerely hope I'm not mistaken with the username.
No plantain for me; malaria symptoms
Acyer walking for about 30 minutes, it eventually dawned on me that I wasn't getting plantain anywhere hence I had to make a u-turn and settled for noodles and fried eggs without plantain...turns out I took a walk for nothing. Got home and the unexpected happened; I began to feel tired and feverish with a very weird headache- almost like a malaria symptom..
Was feeling so weak I had I force myself to do the cooking where I eventually added more than enough salt to the eggs and it became a mess which I ate all the way without complaining...haha.. was feeling weak, tired and had a headache while simultaneously feeling feverish and cold... I've never been I've confused in my life; wrapped myself under the sheets, began to lose my mind and the rest was history; best friend calls about twice but I couldn't pick cos' I was totally out of this world. Turns out malaria symptoms have taken over me and there's no ignoring it.
Going to the doctor today;
Woke up this morning still feeling weird; though slightly better but I'd rather not take chances. I guess I've got no choice but to visit the hospital today if I intend to not die. Turns out the stress is beginning to tell on me; my body can't take it anymore hence the symptoms.
I sincerely hope they wouldn't have to pass any of those hospital fluids into my skin as my skin is too beautiful to be pierced my needles.. those tablets and capsules will be enough to rid me of this weird feeling I'm having; it's for the doctor to decide hence I'm simply hoping.
To the doctor I will go; I guess my body has gotten to it's limit and cannot take the stress anymore. I'd have to rest this time and without complaining after all health is wealth.
Toddles!
