Yes, I have kept telling myself that it is best to accept Hong Kong as my base as long as Mom is here; and miraculously it has been working in the past but when the severity of global warming is slapping my face; this Summer is not gonna be much fun. I am suffocating from air which lacks oxygen and I feel nauseous and hallucinated when I am outside at 34C. I am craving fresh air so bad that I am researching accommodation and trying my luck to escape the next 2 months back in Melbourne. It is Winter there even though it can never be cold enough for me and my peculiar body composition. My skin disorder is not getting any better and I have booked an appointment to see a dermatologist on Monday; referred to me by my shrink as he was concerned about me self-medicating for such an extended period of time.
Because of the heat, I am not eating much these days. Medication and green tea are my staple diet and the pain from the open wound and throbbing headaches from the sun is indeed a real torture. Now that I have quitted my part-time job teaching kindergartens, I am resting most of the week in bed, cooling myself off with ice pack. It seems that I have so many brilliant ideas to see through but how is it possible when you are chronically fatigued while coping with itchy and weepy skin wounds? I have so many art projects on hold as I can't maneuver my fingers to do the job. I doubt anyone could understand how frustrating and hopeless it is when you are pseudo-handicapped. Typing this blog takes me forever as my finger tips are bleeding.
No, this is not a piece asking for mercy; please use this as a reminder of how fortunate you are when you have zero health problem or in pretty good shape. I shall keep posting wherever I will be in the coming weeks.
