Hi Ms. Maine. How are you feeling? I hope the little adventure we took in the rain didn't add to how you're feeling right now. I know you're a pluviophile but we're human and humans get sick.
Come to think of it, do ducks get sick too? Hope you feel better soonest, my love. I pray for your healing.
Maine's reply:
Hello Tans. Thank you for your prayers. I, too, pray for you everyday. You have been my strength and I always pray that we can be strong together against everything that's against us. I read that you're not feeling well, too. Oh no :( I guess pluviophiles do get sick, too.
I've read somewhere that ducks can catch a cold. Rest well, my love. Keep warm.
Rj's message:
Oh well, I, too have gotten sick. I was already feeling under the weather earlier today; I even fell asleep at the recording studio because I couldn't handle it any longer. It was good to see you up and about earlier though. Your bright smile and happy disposition somehow helped me deal with my crappy feeling.
Maine's response:
Oh no! Do you have a temperature? I thought you sounded unwell earlier when we spoke through split screen. Rest, my love, rest. You need to recuperate. Feel better soonest, my love. I love you. I'll see you later.
Thank God you followed my advice and had yourself checked. How are you feeling now? Even if you didn't really work during our hosting event, your presence gave me a boost to carry on. But I do hope and pray that you be better soonest, my love.

I'm sorry, my love, for making you worry so. Even if I really did not want to go to hospital, my body finally gave and they rushed me to the ER. I had vomitted in my car after coughing so much and I guess I passed out because the next thing I knew, I was lying in a strange place and had a hospital ID bracelet on. My team told me that they rushed me here because my skin was hot to touch. After several tests (I hate blood work) and a dose of medicines, I rested in the ER. They discharged me hours after since I promised to just rest at home the whole day.
My temperature has gone down since. I've sweated some of the fever off. I feel much much better although I'm still a bit drowsy.
Maine's response:
Oh my! Yes, social media was abuzz with messages about the picture you posted. Although there was a sprinkling of negativity, people were generally concerned for you. Please do care, my love.
Keep warm but don't forget to change your shirt immediately. Take care, my love.
Rj's message:
Really? I guess their prayers and messages helped. I feel much better although I have been ordered to stay in bed today. Come to think of it, I miss my bed. I miss just being under the covers. I miss sleeping. The medicines I asked for must be working overtime because I can only stay awake and concious for a few minutes. I am drowsy once again.
Yes, I've sweated already and have changed my shirt. It feels good to have sweated actually.
Maine's response:
It's good to know that you are on your way to recovery, my love. I hope I could be there to take care of you. I read somewhere that applying vaporub to the soles of your feet and covering them with thick socks might help. They do this to babies, it might just work.
Rj's message:
I just woke up again. I was coughing a lot earlier so I really didn't get to rest. I'm now sleep-sitting on my laz-y-boy beside my bed. I wrapped myself in my comforter and sat here. I've been in and out of sleep for a while now.
Really? Vaporub? For babies? But I'm not a baby. It sounds icky but will most likely try it out. I'd do anything to feel better soonest. I want to hug you now, love. I wish you were here.
Maine's response:
You will be my first and forever baby, my love. I want to be beside you and take care of you. But, if you remember last night and from our message exchange in the past days, I, too am a bit under the weather. When dino came this time, he really affected my immune system as well so I'm also down with the sniffles.
Rj's message:
Oh dear! I hope this goes away soon. I don't want you to get sick, love. I'd rather that I be sick than you. My baby! I wish I could go there and hug you. Feel better. Sleep! I love you.
Maine's response:
I love you more, love. Rest now. When you feel much stronger, call me. I'd want to see your beautiful face.
