Updates after a busy and tired week... ... ...

Hey hey I am back;-) It's been one solid week since I got online and with a peaceful night of sleep. Last night was really great, got a nice dinner and stroll plus a some chit chat time. I guess the unwinding time and being a Friday night helped. Having a good night of sleep was like unattainable for the last few days. Phew... Got a solid 7 hours last night and my stiff right shoulder finally got more desirable rest.

The grand reason for being so tired is because of work. Well, there's no need for me to spell out the grand reason since most of you know what I do for a living. Since last Thurs, my lab had been swamped by uregnt cases. My work schedule had been seriously impaired by urgent cases for the entire past week. I had at least 1 urgent case per day and my peak was juggling with 2 and notification of 1 for the next day. I didn't even have a break like some of my colleagues but that can't be help. I am going to pity one of my colleagues who is coming next Monday after a 3 week break. She is going to get swamp but some other colleagues will be glad that she is back to share the load;-) For the coming week, I will be on standby for 3 weekdays as far as I can remember but that can change in the blink of an eye. I got spared weekend standby for this week because some of my colleagues who is doing part-time studies will be doing their part over the weekend. So Nana, be prepared that I might need to cancel last minute despite I am not suppose to be on standby next Friday. If you need to curse and swear, do it to the guy causing these grieve :-(

Oh and I read a response by Nana over my last entry. Well, perhaps the sequence which I wrote it was misleading or maybe the expression of my emotions was not good. Anyway, appreciate your mail but there is no need for you to clarify things. Like I said, emotions passed and again, read my last entry carefully to get the reason that ticked me off. Oh one thing I forgot to put in my mail, my apologies if you get the wrong idea about my entry and if you are offended about my reference to the people that they are acquantainces. Those are my heartfelt words because for me to call you a good friend, means I had placed a piece of myself in your hands. Acquantainces does not have the privilege because there is no trust. Hope we can meetup next Friday for some dinner. I am thinking about going elsewhere for dinner 'cos my appetite had yet to return hahaha. But it will still be seafood;-) Missed them greatly.

The pox thing had upset my body pretty badly. It's been 2 weeks since I recovered from it but my appetite and nose had yet to return to it's old state. My lactose intolerance problem became more prominent and my tongue is still not use to strong tasting stuff. My nose sort of got better but as the weather got cold, the general temperature and lab temperature difference is smaller, so perhaps it's just an illusion. The only good thing that had happened after the pox was that my skin got better. Perhaps my yearning for the unhealthy but tasty food had greatly declined so the stress on my GI system is greatly reduced and it can start to absorb the necessary stuff which changes my complexion. Maybe that is also why my appetite had become so tiny. It amazed my colleagues that I can have a salad and that's it. And it further amazed my mum that I can eat boiled vegetables only for dinner! Hahaha hope by end of March, my appetite will be better;-)

And a decision had been made about what I want to do for the next few months. Well, don't hit me after you read this, there is a chance that I may not want to do my degree full time even if I get in;-) I may just change my job and move on. Maybe a couple of months down the road, I may do a part time instead;-) Hahaha but that is provided my health improves.

Ok that's all for now, don't bomb me with emails, sms and calls after you read my above paragraph:-) Will try to update more frequently.
