Ever notice that you only get sick when you're looking forward to something fun, or there are holidays coming up.There've been countless tales of woe; of food poisoning while on holiday, sprained ankles just before having to go on a winery walkabout ( personal experience here, Jus will vouch for this one ). Yup, am coming down with a major league flu.. All the signs are there.. the clogged nose on the way to being an infection, the sandpapery throat and cough, the blur, cotton wool head.. Everything is here except the fever.. Should be along anytime soon.. Which is why I'm gonna be pro-active this time and zap this bugger before it even starts. Am going to the DOCTOR.. which I almost never do.. But hey, have a lot of plans for this long weekend..
Yesterday was pretty good too . Peaceful and happy..which is good. Maybe being a bubble head is healthier than my usual worry about everything mode..Funny thing happened , the lovely bunch of people who are my Clients have screwed up royally... Mismanaged funds so there's no more moolah for anything til January..Hahahaaa , right at peak season. Wonder who's head's gonna roll for this one? On our end, all works stops as of today and everything in pipeline is frozen til further notice. Essentially, we've got fuck all to do til after Christmas..Don't know if this is good or bad cos no billings means we don't meet our projections which means no bonus.. Then again, am about 2 months old here so no bonus anyway.. same diff
Popped by Ikea with my sweetie earlier today… we went off to survey furniture and closets. Sweetie was also talking about when he gets his own apartment and when I can come over to stay.. Ha hahahaa.. Sounds good. Let's see how it goes shall we
Dinner was surprisingly nice, except for the institutional looking tables. Felt like I was back in my school canteen except they were nicer tables, no graffiti and strange sexual drawings . Had dessert in Gusto's after. Gelato was yummy, pancake was not... Tasted like solidified wallpaper paste. Shud've just stuck with the gelato. The place was nice though. Sweetie's suggestion cos it's kinda cosy and romantic.. which it was .
So nice to see my sweetie again after so long and it was a lovely, relaxing stroll and evening. It's always good to hang out with Sue Lynn as well, and surprisingly, I missed Marcus a lil bit too.
Home to do laundry, deal with the zoo,and all that. Kinda nice to be at home alone in the apartment though it was a bit quiet without Pete ( and Wei Fong) and the way they blast the TV at top volume when they're home. Of course the dish Pete promised to wash before leaving for Phuket was still in the sink but never mind, was only one dish. Miss him being around, but peace and quiet is nice too. Will probably think it's too quiet in a couple of days, but by then he'll be back. Besides, am gonna be out a lot.. provided I get better like really soon.
Have decided am strange.. well perhaps strange is not the word. Contradiction I think, would be more apt. When Pete's around, I sometimes feel a little crowded, like I can't really be myself or do my own thing. This is only sometimes though. Other times, I love him being around, but in the past 2 months it's been a bit like walking on eggshells cos of his moods. Really stressful but at the same time, can't imagine what my life would be like if he wasn't around. Now he's away, I'm enjoying the peace and being able to do my own thing. That's really cool.. but like I said, it's going to be a bit too quiet in a couple of days, unless am out. It's nice to be able to hang out with my sweetie and Sue Lynn and whoever else I want to, without worrying what time I need to get home and all that.. except to meet the voracious demands of the zoo... Oh well, life goes on.. make the best of what we have right.. So am going to enjoy myself and be indulgent and happy this whole week
Ok, am off to the doc's. I need to be healthy !
