Current Feeling: Bad Mood.

Disclaimer: The following post is due to my recent frustrations about life in general. Ok, let me correct that – a working mom’s life and a concerned wife’s life.

My husband was diagnosed to have German Measles Monday last week. He stayed in the other room and did all things he need to do there – eat, sleep, work occasionally, pee, etc. He only leaves the room to brush his teeth and use the toilet. Last Friday, he finally had the chance to take a bath. Most of the red spots are now black and some were gone. It was somewhat safe to say that he’s already ok.

However, they say that German Measles is most contagious a week after the rashes appeared. It has been 5 days since the rashes disappeared. I’ve been telling my hubby to see a Dr since they are the ones who said he has this viral infection and they can also say if he’s already cleared. But he’s so insistent that he’s check up will be on the 23rd. So be it!

Let him play with Ayex from afar. Let him stay in the other room for as long as he likes. Let all other people in the house suffer when Ayex starts her temper tantrums because her daddy played with her for a while and suddenly left her!

It has been raining here in Manila since Wednesday last week. And since my hubby has been sick, I’m back to being a commuter. Don’t get me wrong. I love commuting. But like others, I definitely dislike standing for 30 minutes waiting for a jeepney, standing in a bus while being pushed by others because I don’t have so much choice and most of all being stuck in the traffic for almost 2 hours!
We introduced Ayex to Marie biscuits and Chayote last Sunday. When Monday came, I saw some red spots in Ayex’s chest which looked like rashes. We immediately stopped feeding her with Chayote and sticked with Marie – thinking that it will not cause her body any allergic reactions. When I went home last night, to my horror, I saw more of the rashes. This time, around her mouth! Even if I become a full-time mom, I know I will not be able to prevent Ayex from being this sensitive. Like good looks and other good traits, allergies can also be inherited.
Last in this list of rants is the new u-turn slots along Libis. Before, there were like four u-turn slots along Libis, before you reach Marikina and Pasig. Now, there are only two! For those of you who is familiar with Eastwood, you have to take the u-turn slot under the flyover near IPI (going to C5) before you reach Eastwood. I warn you, it may take you 30 minutes to an hour before you reach it because of the heavy traffic caused by this new change implemented by of course, none other than our wise MMDAs!!!

We were in Las Pinas last weekend for Ayex’s anti-measles vaccination. After that, we went home to my Mom’s place. At 3:30PM, Mon and I left Ayex with my siblings to have our monthly trip to the spa. After that, I checked the ukay-ukay near to the spa because I saw that they’re on sale. Mon stayed a while inside the store and went outside after finding nothing for himself while I was busy checking the racks of clothes one by one. I got myself a top and a skirt.

Sunday – We heard the mass at 10:30. My sisters had their usual kwek-kwek and sago after the mass then we went home. We ate nilaga and tokwa’t baboy for lunch. Mon went up at 2PM to take a nap. He told me to wake him up at 4PM and we’ll leave at 4:30PM. While he slept, I had my toenails cleaned and took care of Ayex until she slept. Mon went down a little before 4PM. He started fixing himself and our things. We left when Ayex woke up, that was before 4:30PM.

We went to Market-Market in Fort Bonifacio to buy Ayex’s baby wipes. They have these tiangges that sells super cheap baby wipes. We don’t memorize where we bought before so we passed by different stores first. Yeah, windows shopping. When we finally have Ayex’s stuffs, we went to Kenny Rogers to buy food then we left Market-Market.

When we were changing clothes, Mon noticed some red spots in his body. I was kidding him that it was because he hasn’t taken a bath yet. After we ate dinner and he’s no longer tired, he took a shower. The red spots seemed to multiply. They’re on his face, arms and back. We thought of the food that we ate. He said maybe he was allergic with the oil that was used in the spa. We were determined to call the spa the next day.

Monday – Mon didn’t went to the office. I told him to see a dermatologist. He went to Capitol and the red spots were diagnosed to be German Measles. Since then, he stayed at the other bedroom. He does not go out except when using the toilet or brushing his teeth. I know Ayex knows that daddy’s just there at home but may wonder why is it that she doesn’t see him. It’s almost a week that we don’t sleep with each other. We talk behind the door or we text each other.

I miss Mon. Hope you get well soon bebe.
