Yippie !

I'm all alone ; dear hubby is on the way to pick up Amir and Yasmin . Its not a whole afternoon ...just an hour to and fro trip to the school . Then the house is alive again . I tell you this house is exhausted and needs its me time too. We two are embracing each other now ...cuddling up and enjoying this short ' times out . '

I just want to sit down ...enjoy the quiet moments ...this mommy is allowed to do that , right ?

So how was my day ...as from 0530 till 1330 hours ? Imagine this ....a typical weekday consists of making breakfast ...then lunch ...then dinner . In between ..I sent the two teenagers to school ...pick them up . Did the daily laundry too , then folded the freshly dried clothes .

Getting mails in the letterbox is getting rare ; only the monthly bills thought they are worth dropping by and make their presence known . The mails I received are the e mails ; most are forwarded articles ...but I do appreciate friends who remembered to forward to me ....thanks guys . At least I know I am in your thoughts . Bless you !

Checked out the Facebook ...cyber drop on my friends and peep into their lives for a while . Some are close friends , some are childhood friends , some are those you know but never did get close enough to know and yet we give them a nod and smile when we crossed each others' path a long time ago . Now we are friends in cyberspace ....

Oh ya ! There's the ironing to do when I'm in the mood to pick up that dreadful tool . Hope you get the picture . I have not swept my house . I wish I have more me time ; for me to sew ....but now just want to let you know ...this is my actual me time .


Flowers to cheer me up !

Me Time

Saturday morning ; bright and sunny day . Its 1 pm ...my washings are still undone . Not my habit ...its usually out in the sun by 9am . Somehow today there are not as many clothes to be washed . So have to wait for everybody to wake up . Not worth to run the washing machine with a half load . Got to conserve water and electricity too .

Could not decide what's for lunch . Opened the fridge and saw the ' Laksa Sarawak ' paste . So I proceeded to make this for brunch . By 11am everybody had their tummies filled . Took another shower ....gosh ..the day's so hot . It doesn't help that a few hours in the kitchen is like in a hot oven .

I was thinking and asking myself ....should I do the ironing or should I sew ? Then I remembered that I have an unfinished task to do ...and its got to be done by today .Then daughter Yasmin said ....she wants her hair to be cut ...oh well , gotta bring her to the hair saloon then . All these will be about 3 to 4 hours away from the house .

Oh well there goes my Me Time .....whatever I get to get away from the house ....though I am leaving a mess there .

A Date With The Doctor

Abstain yourself from food as from midnight ...that was what Doc Kelvin said the last we met . I have to do some blood test on you ...he continued .

Not a welcoming news to be reminded of another medical check up . " Come and see me after your holidays " and I finally did ...3 months later . And that's because another issue cropped up that I just gotta meet him again .

I was early ..the 2nd patient of the morning .; so far so good ..my tummy was not doing its drum roll . And gosh ...my bladder was full . 20 minutes after I registered myself I was admitted to see Doc Kelvin . He was pleasant , he was courteous , he was super cool . As we exchanged bits and pieces of news he took my blood pressure ...." Super good " .." The best reading "....." Superb " ...as he praised and went goo goo ga ga over my BP . Well that was good news .

I proceeded to tell him of my latest development ...with Doc Kelvin U gotta tell all and be frank . A problem he gotta help me . I said '...Doc ....lately ...I bleed '......and so on ...( censored ).

Doc Kelvin : Red or dark brown ?

Me : What's the difference ? Red ...looks fresh .

Doc Kelvin : If its dark brown ...its the old mensus blood . If fresh red , we gotta check it out . I 'll scan u first ....a good time to check out as your bladder is still full "

Me : Yeah Doc , U better do before the dam broke .

The scan was fine , Doc Kelvin did not see any cyst which used to be hovering outside my uterus . The uterine wall lining is still slightly thick about 0.7mm ...not to his liking though . Next , I need not guide him see the place where the sun never shines on as he proceeded to do the pap smear ; took a long look at the tunnel and said ...yeah ..there is bleeding at the cervix .

Doc Kelvin : We treat this medically first . I'm going to give u a medication ; u follow the instructions . Do it once this week and another one next week . Not more then that . In the mean time we wait for the pap smear results . I will call u once I received it .

I nodded in agreement .

Doc Kelvin : After this u take your blood test . Please follow Nurse Jothi .

Yeah ...with the Doctors U just follow orders and I was marched off to the ' blood sucking ' unit . A Nurse Nair was there and made me feel comfortable as she proceeded to take my blood meant for 2 or 3 vials . The results would be ready in 2 hours ..she said .

With nothing else needed out of me I went home , went with dear hubby for a round of ' Tosei ' to break my fast at 11oo .


Flowers for me ...for a task done !
