The three of us are down with flu. My kids insisted on sleeping with me in my tiny room so we’re bit of a squeeze here. I couldn’t file for sick leave because I must meet my story quota for the month. It’s so difficult trying to concentrate on writing a story while chasing people and editing when you just want to sleep. The sink is a mess because I have no energy to cook or wash the dishes. Food was delivered from my mom’s house or via Grab. Cleaning the litter box was a struggle.

Ah school… The petri dish. You can’t escape illnesses if you have school-age children. My girls learned through chat that a lot of their classmates are also down with flu.

All my plans of attending meetings and covering presscons have gone the drain. 😑

And why the fuck is Zuckerberg pushing JD Vance down my throat?!
