#7DayChallengeUganda Days 3, 4 and 5
So, I ended my last post with “Can’t wait to see what
tomorrow brings.”
Ha.
Malaria. The next day
brought malaria.
By the time I left work on Friday, I knew something wasn’t
right. First of all, I was
freezing. FREEZING. Granted, I had been in a studio for a good
hour or two, but I’m used to that. And I
rarely feel cold.

I got home, took off my shoes, wrapped myself in a blanket
and collapsed on the couch.
Needless to say I had a rough night. And never got to cook that delicious
butternut squash I had such great plans for.
Saturday found me hauling myself out of the house and
straight to the doctor, who confirmed that I had malaria. Great. As in, this is the last thing I need right
now.
I have suffered.
I went back home and all I could do was drink water. You know all the horrible symptoms that come
with malaria: aches and pains, zero
appetite, that nasty slimy feeling in your mouth. There was no way I was going to make it to
the kitchen or be a useful human being in any way.
The most I have been able to contribute to the
#7DayChallengeUganda for days 3 and 4 is turning off the lights during the day and
switching appliances off at the mains, not leaving them in standby mode.
Don't say I didn't tell you!
Today is Day 5, so I decided that my best option was to MOVE
SMART: which I did, carpooling to work
with my colleague Becky. Not all is
lost.
Becks and I were like this, except I was a bit more malarial.
Fingers crossed I’ll be able to finish the next couple of
days strong, because the noise on Twitter is deafening.
