Facing the test of time

I woke up early just to see if there were any e-mails suggesting I should start early, but it seemed to be fine. But that was the trap and I had a call at around 9AM and I noticed again difficult it is to take a day off on Fridays.
Well honestly, I had no intention of taking today off, and I'm not that stupid to finally realize that it will be impossible to take a day off here in Iran, as the weekdays start on Saturdays and the only holiday of the week, Friday is the last weekday of my home country.
My health is deteriorating and I seriously have to find a way to rest my body. It's also crucial that my mental state is also in jeopardy with too many requests levying on me and I really don't have a clue if I can correctly reply to them.
My colleague and also a friend in Japan has voiced concern about my condition, but I'm sure I wouldn't want to have a nervous breakdown myself and I just have to see if things will improve. It's a long way to go, and I'm sure it will. I'm sure. I'm just facing the test of time and it's up to me if I'm going to fight it off or be defeated to the ground.

Well at least today, I'll try to sleep an hour or two earlier than usual!

PS
Having some "magical liquid" today which I can't show the picture of...
And I just can't stop...

eating these! I heard some of these candies were recalled in Japan, but it's not this type of packaged ones!
