Home, not alone

I've decide to take sick leave today even though that's work to be done.

I mean, who cares? The world is not going to stop revolving in my absence, and I dont see the point of forcing myself to work when I am not well.

My eyes are so dry now it feels like my eyelids are going to stick to my eyeballs permanently. And to think I was trying to rest my eyes earlier, only resulting in my eyes swollen in an attempt to open it.

I'm experiencing giddiness and nausea, an aftermath of all the long hours I've contributed to work, but nothing's worse than my eyes.

Contact lens makes me feel more presentable, and it is more convenient cos I really can do without my specs sliding down my nose when I walk under the sun to meetings. But at the same time, my eyes are drying up badly, and eyedrops are not helping.

Sigh.

Yah, I didnt say why I titled this as 'home, not alone'. My mother is still recuperating at home, and she is talking to me constantly. Not that I am irked, but I sure can do with some rest and peace.
