Tough Week

[muslimactuary]

Well, no consulting, actuarial or takaful stories to tell this week. I didn't go to the office once this week. Started out as taking care of my wife and kids who were very sick, and now has extended to myself being sick.  My wife was hospitalized for it, and is out already, but doesn't seem to be getting better.  At least the kids are roughly ok now.  I told my body it wasn't allowed to  be sick as my wife needs me.  Its listened to me so far, hoping for the best.  Its been hard trying to keep my wife comfortable and keeping the kids happy & the same lifestyle they are used to.  People have been looking at me like im crazy these last few days as i've been wearing a heavy sweater (had the chills a lot lately).  Still fasting though.  Actually the fasting has saved me, as it has forced me to eat.  If not I wouldn't have had the appetite.  I will probably go to the office for half day monday, then out again the rest of the week. My wife is so incredibly strong and has taken such good care of me all these years that its the least I can do for her.  She has put up with a LOT from me, and just kept up her support.  Now is my time to support her.  Luckily the team at work is very strong and can take care of themselves. I just hope the strikers can drift back and help the midfielders and defenders like a team should.  The team needs some real work in pairing people up and whatnot, but thats a discussion for when I feel better.

The beauty of being sick is that i've lost another 1.5 kg. Considering the 2 kg lost at the massage course that puts me at 76.5kg. Amazing.  6.5kg more and i'm down to my ideal weight.  Not to say I still have plenty of flab still left, but starting to look and feel better.

Well, keep me and my family in your prayers!
