Another day of feeling not great but I'm proud to say I managed to push through it. I forgot to mention that the cause was swollen lymph nodes around the right side of my neck, which were extremely painful, especially to the touch. It's improving now compared to the past few days when I felt sore all over and feverish. I considered seeing a doctor as I thought I might need antibiotics, but I hesitated because it seemed like paracetamol was helping. I haven't taken any paracetamol today, and the feverish feeling has disappeared, although the pain in my neck remains, preventing me from participating in my fitness dance class. I think I should rest for the remainder of this week to ensure maximum healing. I miss my fitness dance routine, but I understand the importance of listening to my body too.
That photo? I'm not entirely sure what it's called here or in your area, but back home 🇵🇭we call it Tikoy with Ube. Tikoy is a sweet rice cake made from glutinous flour and sugar. Then, the Ube (yam) sandwiches the Tikoy, they roll it in flour, and then fry it. Eating Tikoy is believed to bring good luck and prosperity throughout the year. Because the cake is very sticky, it also symbolizes togetherness – people eat Tikoy with each other to symbolize unity and harmony. Eating Tikoy also means that luck will stick to you all year long! How cool is that? Well, I actually had two, even though I wanted more because they're quite heavy, and I haven't been exercising since Monday. Luckily, working in a school requires a lot of movement, which is why I still manage to hit over 5K steps every day.
