Yesterday morning, almost as soon as we woke up, we got news that S’ uncle who was hospitalised passed away in the hospital. This uncle had been sick for a while now and this latest attack of pneumonia and heart failure made him so weak and unresponsive that his body gave up the fight! It was chaotic, to say the least, and I am super exhausted with everything!

For a long time now, I had been suffering from a bout of a very localised eczema and it was so bad that I was literally spamming cream every 30 minutes to get some relief. I had been prescribed some steroid cream a couple of months back but didn’t want to continue to take them for long. Last week, my primary care physician whom I see for my diabetes management asked me to see another doctor in the same practice who is also a qualified dermatologist and who finally gave me some creams and antihistamines which made a huge difference to my condition. I can finally see the end of the tunnel…

Tomorrow is a public holiday here in Singapore on account of Labour Day and I for one, am looking forward to sleeping in. Today is also the last day of April and this marks two years of unemployment!
