Of pet peeves and favourite things

Am down with a high fever due to a sore throat that has been with me for about two weeks now. Was trying to fight it without going to the doctor but guess who won ? Yeah... the throat...


Was also trying to sleep but with the construction next door and right opposite, I gave up after like 45 minutes cos trying to sleep was giving me a major headache. So decided that I might as well make an entry to my blog.
