Sorry for disappearing for too long 🙏

We've just celebrated Lunar New Year ("Tết" in Vietnamese) here. But the delay in the translation isn't because I had fun (though that was part of it 😉) but because... I'm allergic to incense. That's something I have in common with Peem 🥹 (crying in my heart).

During Lunar New Year, we burn a lot of incense. My mom lighted incense continuously. And the smoke fills every sacred temple we visit. I couldn't avoid the allergen.

I've had red and watery eyes, itchy rashes around my eyes, and my face was swollen (though it looks much better now, thank God!). My eyes water a lot, and sometimes I can't even open them. I've been wearing sunglasses all the time, and my mom says I look like a fortune teller (fortune tellers in Vietnam often wears sunglasses).

So right now, I'm unable to keep up with the translation work. I feel the itch around my eyes even as I write this. I'm going to soothe them with cold spoons.

Wish me luck, so I can get back to translating soon!
