I doubt that I was not having a cold

Didn't do much in the past week.

I doubt that I was not having a cold, but a flu instead. Almost half of the office started to cough and have sore throat after I came back in last week. I feel guilty that they probably get the germs from me, if it's not really neccessary, I'd stay at home for longer time. Saying this is a bit wierd, because back in China, taking a sick leave always was difficult. I still remember the boss started to doubt whether I was really too sick to come to work on the second day of my serious cold. But here in UK, no one will ask you for certificate from hospital. On the contrary, they feel unhappy if you come in with sickness.

After spending most of the week laying ill in bed, I finally managed to go out to do shopping for Iceland trip on Sunday. It was raining, freezing cold, but I was kind of lucky. Because I bought the pair of out-door shoes which is 100% met my expectation and of my right size! When the store girl came up asking me what size do I need, I said I would like to try on 3.5 or 4. I said this only because I thought they wouldn't have size 3.5 anyway. But completely out of my expect, they have size 3.5. More surprisely, they have more than one colour of size 3.5. I almost jump for happiness.

It takes much longer for me to recover from the sickness. Ironicly that I even made up new year resolution to be healthier this year. So I see the life is full of uncontrollable incidences, bad thing just happens. But as I now gradually picking up myself, it will be very important for me to continue my plan, stick back to my resolutions. I won't worry too much about future now, futrue will take care of itself as long as I make sensible decisions every this moment.
