1. In-laws are here. Haven’t had much time to be on computer and waste time like I used to. Hence my infrequent, sporadic posting. It’s ok, guys. Don’t be a-fretting.
2. 6 year old is on school holidays. Initially a bit of peacemaking and diplomatic negotiations to stop a major war but alhamdulillah the boys have now sorted things out.
3. Rained here for a couple of days which was wonderful mashaAllah. The low/high pressure system/isobars/hectopascals/cold front and all other meteorological terms means now it’s FREEZING (by tropical standards, mind – don’t want you Northern Hemisphereans calling me a wuss) and the wind means despite the cold, the washing dries in next to no time. How cool is that?*
4. Doing a few more hours here and there at work. I only wish the hospital wasn’t so far from home. I am not sure how the partners would feel if I ask them to move premises so as to be more convenient for me. Actually I am very sure how they would feel – it would likely end in words to this effect:
“What do you mean I am sacked?!!”
“What’s 5 million dollars between friends?”
“I thought you liked me?” :sob:
“Actually, the world DOES revolve around me and it would do you well to remember it!”
5. I have a cold that does not wish to leave the premises that are (is?) MY BODY. Oh woe is me. The headache, the cough that began moist and productive (did you really need to know that?) and has progressed to the irritating dry post-nasal kind. Nights mean very little sleep and days mean suppressing the paroxysmal coughing in case I vomit. Don’t feel sorry for me – it’s actually quite fun.**
6. I had better go and pretend as though I am a good homemaker or something.
*Another unintentional GENIUS pun. You may marvel at your own leisure.
**As much fun as trying not to vomit can be.
