I thought my period of lethargy had subsided when we went to Wonderland. Fast forward a few days, however, and I was suddenly stricken with headache and fever, forced into a bedridden state for over twenty-four hours. Fighting a nasty cold and throat-on-fire had been adequately terrible, yet the world had not been done with me until high internal temperatures struck.
Majority of this month has been an ongoing recovery period to combat the germs collected from young monsters of the current generation - be careful when working with kids! Most of the adventures have already been previously documented, so here are merely some in-between munching visuals.

After a disappointing run-in with a "Closed'' sign on the popular artisan ice cream shop's door, my favourite fangirl and I had left the premises feeling slightly disheartened. With news that the neighbourhood favourite was back up and running for the warmer weather, I made a mental note to return as soon as cold symptoms began to clear.
After a disappointing run-in with a "Closed'' sign on the popular artisan ice cream shop's door, my favourite fangirl and I had left the premises feeling slightly disheartened. With news that the neighbourhood favourite was back up and running for the warmer weather, I made a mental note to return as soon as cold symptoms began to clear.
As with their other artisan creations, the 2018 edition had not strayed in flavour depth nor quality. Cookie Monster - a very Fugo-like creation in terms of appearance - quickly became a favourite amongst children of all ages (myself included), while Black Cherry was a classic, fruit-based soft ice cream with chewy chunks of sweetened cherries. Toasted Coconut proved to be so fragrant that one could deduce its presence by a mere waft, without even so much as tasting the comforting tropicalness.
I sincerely hope that all sickness has passed by me for this season and beyond. Here's to welcoming a June with balmy weather with open arms and optimistic spirits!
