Health issue

I've been away to write my blog due to health reason. I thought i was free from the flu but it came back the night that we had a party for my grandma. Probably i was stressing out myself too much. I was sick for 3 days as I've mentioned from my previous blog & i guess i was forcing myself to get better & came back to work right away & at the time time, preparing for the upcoming party.
I was still managing to go to the store right after the party to have grocery shopping with my hubby. But right then & there when i got home, i went to bed right away, i felt so cold & had to ask my hubby to bring the medicine for me. I was such in pain.
It took me 2 days to finally get up in bed but i still felt crappy. I was calling in sick at work. I decided to go to the doctor since my symptoms was getting worse. The doctor gave me medications for the flu & for the cough. I had to keep going back 3 times in a month for a check-up till the doctor told me i had to have an x-ray since he had a feeling i had pneumonia. He was right. I had pneumonia in my left chest. I had to take another medication again. All in all, from march 19 to April 11, I was on medical leave at work. I've got mixed emotions at that time. I am so thankful hubby is very caring. I felt so bad because we couldn't go out anywhere during his time off but he understood.
When i came back to work, everybody was so happy to see me. They are so glad that i am feeling better. The best thing is, management cares a lot. I am so touched.

60 Days Accident Free

We have free food at work. We had hamburger, sausage, chips & pop. We're 60 days accident free. It's nice to have free food sometimes at work. hehehe. The management were the one who cooked the food. Next week, we'll be having another free food. It's about our My Share Plus Bonus.

Getting Better

I was sick for 3 days. I was in bed the entire time. My husband took care of me. I am so blessed. I couldn't ask for more.
Today, I am getting better. Talked to my supervisor before going to work. She was just concern about my health. It was so nice to hear from her. I tried to go to work since I felt better & I am bored at home too. I needed some fresh air & since it's been nice out, I wanted to enjoy the weather. Suppose to snow tomorrow...welcome to Nebraska. hehehe.
I found out it was just me & Vangie for the coverage. Even if I wanted to go home I just couldn't. I didn't want her to be my herself for the whole department. I survived.

Aegan's Christening

After work, we attended Baby Aegan's Christening Party. There were a lot of people when we got there but there were still a lot of food. The food was delicious. They had roast pig too. Yum. We stayed for 2 hours. We just went home straight since me & hubby were working earlier.

My Share

We got our my share bonus today. It helps a lot. Aside from the bonus, we had free pizza, chips & pop. I had a slice of pizza every time I went to break. All in all, I had 3 slices of pizza today...There goes my diet...hehehe...The reason why we had free food today because we had 60 days accident free. In every 30 days for accident free, we can get free food. The most interesting part is, if we're 190 days of accident free, we have to shave our Store Manager's head. hehehe...Sounds interesting.

Online Class

I finally had the guts to enroll even just 1 subject for now. I've been planning about going back to school since I got here in the US but I just couldn't decide what will I take up. I was indecisive. I wanted to make sure that I wouldn't waste my time nor my money once I started doing it. After more than 3 years, I finally enrolled Biology class. Why biology? I wanted to pursue in a medical field later on. I am hoping I could make it. I am not in a hurry though. I am doing it one step at a time.
I had my online orientation this morning. I was coming in late for work. I have to buy my textbook soon.
Right now, I am excited for my class.
