The condition of my sis-in-law worries me - she is not eating well, running a fever, could not leave th bed etc. I am unsure if the verdict of her follow-up kidney/liver test is final or should we get a second opinion? Could it be a case of dengue? Could it be that she is homesick? Or is she just expecting her first child? Alot of questions; no answers... This suspense is literally 'killing me'...
My state of mind (PM):
Alhamdulillah! Its another case of a false alarm. She went to the doctor's and it was confirmed that her immune system was reacting to the injection she took as part of her medical examination for her Permanent Residence status. At least I could heave a sigh of relief that she is going to be alright. Sometimes, my conscience pricks on me for not spending more time with her... must put to practice the advice of a dear friend, "Quality life - work should not be at the top of your priority list." Just pray hard my employer doesn't get to read this...
The true way to render ourselves happy is to love our work and find in it our pleasure. - Francoise De Motteville
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. (From a speech given in Paris at the Sorbonne in 1910) - Theodore Roosevelt
