Glacial weather of Taiwan

Yesterday I had no power to take my pajamas off, I just did that to take a shower and then back in my flannel starts pajamas again.
It's freezing here in Taiwan. It doesn't stop raining for ages. I don't remember a sunny day this year. The humidity is super high and this makes the 15 degrees Celsius looks like glacial weather.

Really, +15 here is much colder than -15 in Switzerland. Firstly there is no heat and the wind is crazy. I feel the cold into my bones. Oh gosh, I'm really in a process of being frozen.

With all this, of course that my body couldn't take without getting sick. I got a strong cold and I'm feeling miserable. I was trying to study, but the book seems too have for my weak arms.

I just want to sleep, sleep for days and nights and just wake up and get out of my cozy warm bed when someone tells the weather man that he has sent enough rain and that we need sunny bright days from now on.

Back to sleep...

So weak

I'm feeling terrible. I don't know if I got a cold or that is my allergic rhinitis that misses me much and decided to anticipate its season attacking me once again or if it's just my immune system being low, advising me that my thyroid is not compensate or other hypothesis that I can't figure out now.

Well I do not know the reason of this flu feeling thing, but I can assure that I'm feeling sooooo weak. I have no forces whatsoever. All what my body wants is bed or sofa! I'm feeling so weak that a single sheet of paper is being heavy for me to hold. I feel my head huge and with the weight of the world on it. Really, I'm not exaggerating!

I'm having all classical symptoms of a good flu:

• Fever
  
• Headache
• Muscle aches
• Chills
• Extreme tiredness
• Dry cough
• Runny nose

My tissue's boxes don't exist anymore. I used all the 3 boxes I had, only today, and my nose has suffering the consequences of so much wiping, it's sore of course.

I'll take a shower and go to bed...I can't fight against that...I really can't!
