Just fine

Everyone seems to be in a relaxed holiday mood (or maybe that’s just me?). It must be because for most of us, it’s a 3-day week, and it’s already halfway through. Hurray! :)

I should be complaining of course: unexpected last minute work cropped up today with a ridiculously short deadline of early next week. Just another normal day I guess, and yet the mind boggles as to why the boss has approved my leave despite. However I am optimistic and remain calm even though usually, something like this would make me burst a blood vessel. It must be due in part to the much overdue management-enforced directive to take some of the load of my shoulders and put it back where it should belong. And the other part is perhaps me heeding the oft repeated gentle advice of much wiser people to ‘just do it’ instead of worrying and stressing myself out.

I am looking forward to this weekend, without the expectation of having a good one but being optimistic that it will be anyway. (Go figure! :)

Sunday, so far

It’s 4 o’clock in the afternoon and I am HOT, both inside and out. I think I’m running a fever. The sore throat hasn’t progressed into a cold but it has morphed into a cough. How sucky is it to get sick during the weekend instead of weekdays when you can take medical leave from work?

(It’s so very quiet and everything seems blurry, or is that just my eyes?)

And I’m tired. Slept for 4 hours, woke up at 5.30am, helped out at a work related function for 3 hours, drove back home, slept fitfully for 2 hours, then drove back again to waste another 4 hours until it ended. What a miserable way to spend a Sunday.

I hope whatever remains of the day will be much more pleasant. Fingers crossed.
