write about your condition / disease and use some of grammar + vocabulary from today.

Last Sunday afternoon, I went to hang out with my friends to have dinner at the restaurant where nearby the sea, we ate grilled pig claws, fried chicken while drinking plenty of beer until the sun fell off. After eating and drinking, we got our clothes changed to swimming wear and jumped into the sea to swim, as well as i put my slippers on the beach, after finishing swim i couldn’t find it which costed me 800 dhs. We were looking for them around the beach for half an hour, but they didn’t appear which must be floated to far way of the sea. It didn’t impact my mood, then we were singing songs loudly and excitedly together while driving car back home. The second day i felt not great just like having a cold, so i must stayed in bed all day after taking medicine, today i feel better than yesterday and shouldn’t take pills. Of course i have to take care of myself, because when i have a cold my full body including either my ears, head, back or leg must be painful from my past experience.
