A day of domesticity

For the first time for a long time, I took a sickie today. I have been battling some sort of evil New Zealand strand flu virus (self-diagnosed, with snippets from the news of what is going around at the mo) for the better of 2 weeks, and I decided that today, after many days of soldering on to the office, and having likely given everyone else at work a run for their immune system, I decided to stay home. It was probably the best decision I’ve made in the last week or so. Hmm… says a lot doesn’t it?

Anyways, I made my beloved breakfast (porridge and tea), got in the car to do some errands, and dropped the boy at school. Did I mention I am sick? Well yes, being sick as a adult is obviously a far cry from the days my mum taking me to Dr Yap in Petaling Jaya (because he WAS the only doctor that made me better), and going home and getting fed porridge. Being sick, and being an adult involves wagging work, so that you can get some rest… pay the bills, pick up groceries, fold the laundry, rearrange the drawers, wipe every surface in the house (because dust magically appears over every damn thing that isn’t covered!), and make dinner. Phew!! Nigella might call this “Domestic Goddess-ness”, but honestly, it’s left me feeling like a part-time Maria with a head cold.

Okay, so it wasn’t that bad. I did lie on the couch and watch a DVD and flick channels (daytime TeeVee sux big time!), had 2 cups of coffee and did some more lying. What I also managed to do was sort out my bookshelves which has been on my to-do list only since 2003. Tick.

My next task after writing this blog – Attack of the VISA Card Bills. That’s right guys, I am finally going to sort out my spending habit for the last year. NO, I am not a control freak, I am an accountant. And I just can’t think of what else to do (lightning striking somewhere in the world). Oh yes. Also been meaning to load up a whole bunch of photos, but that’s just too scary. Maybe another day…

That’s it from me now.

Big shout out to Johann- Hey babes, thanks for the big wrap on your blog. I am so glad you decided to start one because I love your mind!!!!! Mr. Left-field over here! Can’t wait to read your stuff. Of course, nothing beats the real thing, but I’ll take it anyway.
