Tonight, I decided to sit back and relax a teensy, weensy bit. Just as I was checking my emails, I remembered that I do have a blog and that I have not checked on it for quite some time. Hehehe...I need an assistant...or better yet, I need to clone me.
A lot has happened in the past two weeks. Work is still a merry go round, but I do enjoy the ride. I can now see the dot of light at the end in one of the tunnels. The biggest challenge for me still is trying to get enough sleep so that I do not nod off at my table while waiting for the 5-year-old laptop to open files without it informing me that it does not have enough memory; and to think that I was actually conceited enough to think that I am the only one who has memory troubles. Working hours are a bit unpredictable. At least twice a week, I find myself leaving the office around 8 in the evening, sometimes messing up my badminton nights! Hmp! *grin*
As if the daily grind is not enough, I have to rush some transcription work for my support group. Now I have Saturdays free, which at least gives me time to do the transcription work, that is, if I am not out shopping for my office attire and corresponding accessories! In between, there's the household chores and keeping in touch with family and friends. Now, am I a busy girl or not? Sometimes, I am so tempted to mimic my niece and tell people: Don't talk to me, I am very busy! Then I realised that on top of all these going ons in my life, I now feel a lot happier. I do not resent the fact that I have to wake up early so that I can get to work on time. I do not mind the long drive, which I now take advantage of for some "Me Time."
Friends have been telling me that I look better, happier, even when I am so harassed and dog tired. Well, they ARE my friends! *LOL* In times like tonight, it is nice to reconnect myself to the world, to remind me that there are a lot more stuff to do, and to remind me that I should stop, take time to smell the flowers, and enjoy life!
