A Week in My Life: Battling a Cold, Celebrating a Birthday, and Visiting Jeju Island

Monday, September 1st
I feel absolutely awful today. π₯
I think I'm catching a cold. π€
Ate a quick meal and then crashed. π΄
Came home to find Jamin sulking. π
I'm sorry I haven't been able to take care of you lately, Mommy's been so busy. π₯Ί
Couldn't even shower because I felt so bad, just laid down.
Finally managed to shower, then my brother bought me meat, I ate and crashed again. π©
Seriously... I'm in terrible shape. π

Tuesday, September 2nd
Went to work but had to leave early. π
So dizzy, sore throat, and fever...
Hope it's not COVID...?
Ended up getting an IV drip. π
Turns out it wasn't COVID! π
Went to a hospital near my brother's work,
Stopped by his shop for a free meal,
Then went home, took my medicine, and passed out. π
Woke up with no appetite. π
Had some rice porridge to take my medicine!
Suddenly craved bread, so I had salt bread with citron tea. π
But... I can't taste anything. π What?!

Wednesday, September 3rd
The dizziness is gone thanks to yesterday's IV!
But I still have a cough and a sore throat. π’
Worked hard! Had lunch, took my medicine, and crashed. π
Got my nails done for the first time in ages! ~~
Tried to hold out, but my nails looked so ugly...
Finally gave in. π After that, grocery shopping!!
Because! It's almost my brother's birthday. π
It was hard to grocery shop in secret,,!!
Made some side dishes at home and passed out from exhaustion. π
My brother felt bad and couldn't bring himself to wake me up. π₯Ί

No pictures today. π
My health hasn't been great lately. π₯
His birthday is actually tomorrow!
But I have to go to Jeju Island tomorrow... γ
Celebrating my brother's birthday early!!
Happy, happy birthday! ππππππππ
The cake I ordered in a hurry. π
Isn't it cute? π
I love you the most! π₯°β€οΈ
I tried to make it a surprise!
Thankfully, it was a success!! ππ
He looked so touched. π
You were more touched by my cooking than the present, right? π
I don't have much money... γ I wanted to get you something better and more expensive...
But I'm glad you liked it!!
Don't lose it this time. γ ‘γ ‘
Had a small birthday party, ate cake, and crashed. π΄
I've been going to bed so early these days. π΄π΄π΄

Friday, September 5th
Watched my brother leave for work!
Ate leftovers from yesterday to take my medicine!
Packing for Jeju Island,
Jamin's expression. π₯Ί
That "Where are you going again?!" look... π
I'm sorry. γ I can't skip this one. γ γ
I'm off to Jeju Island! βοΈ
Have to wear a mask because of my cold... γ
Thought I was going to the airport, but it's Busan West. π
My brain. γ γ
It's okay, I have plenty of time. π
Took the subway and got Gong Cha at the airport.
But.. I can't taste anything. γ
When will my taste come back? γ
I want to taste something delicious. π
Nothing makes me happy these days. π
Waiting for my flight at the airport, my brother video called. π
Wanted to show me he was wearing a birthday hat. πππ
Looks good on him. πππ
Clearly, I'm the birthday person today~ π
Delayed. γ Waiting a bit before boarding!!
The road to Jeju Island is long and winding. βοΈ
Finally!! Arrived in Jeju Island!!
This place feels new every time I come. πππ
Got my luggage and headed home~~
The weather is so humid. γ
Got here and immediately ate chicken. πππ
Is this right? There's so much chicken. πππ
After eating, my great uncle and I were busy marinating meat for tomorrow's memorial service. πππ
It doesn't look bad, right?
And then I was so tired I crashed.. π΄

Saturday, September 6th
My dad made kimchi stew this morning~~
My dad is good at cooking!!
He just doesn't do it. πππ
And a picture of me when I was little. π
I had bread in my hand even then?
Was my love for bread from then? πππ
Got a new sofa for the house!!
It's so comfy. π₯°
Fixing up the house, little by little!!
Sweating buckets with my great aunt;;
Tada! β¨ Doesn't it look delicious?
It doesn't look bad!!
And after finishing everything, ate sliced pork. π
Sweated so much I had to shower,,,!!
Spent the whole day cooking. γ γ
Had the memorial service, the adults ate,
I ate ramen with my cousin. πππ
Suddenly craved carbonara buldak ramen. π
A picture of Jamin my brother sent me. γ γ
I miss my little darlings. γ γ
Wait a little longer. γ γ

Sunday, September 7th
Became a morning person even in Jeju Island~~
Ate leftovers for breakfast!!
Bought new containers because I threw all of mine away. πππ
Daiso is the best! ππππππππ
Now I'm going home~~
I'm so tired. γ γ
These 2 nights and 3 days went by so fast. γ γ
I'll be back next month, bye Jeju! π
First time at Sacheon Airport. πππ
It's smaller than I thought. π
But it's close to home, so that's good. γ γ
It started raining as soon as I arrived. γ γ
I'm a weather monster after all. πππ
Came home, unpacked, and passed out!
My brother came home, so we ate chicken!
And passed out again... π΄
That's how the weekend went...
Ugh, I have to go to work tomorrow... I really don't want to. πππ

I wanted to write this without falling behind, but I failed!!!
I went to my parents' house. πππ
I was busy cooking and cleaning all weekend. γ γ
But I'm writing this diligently now~~
It had been 3 weeks (?) since I went to my parents' house, and they remodeled the bathroom!
It was a little weird because things were organized,
But it was nice and clean!!
We held my grandfather's first memorial service well!
Except it was too hot... π
It's already September!! But it's still so hot. γ γ
But it's cool in the evenings, so maybe fall is coming?
I'll be back next week without falling behind... (Maybe? π)
See you next week! ππππ
