Home Alone and Oh So Quiet

Some of  you will have noticed that I usually have stuff to write about after Monday and Friday cos those are the days I usually see BIKSS.

But unfortunately for us, this week was a little different cos I've come down with laryngitis.  The rest of the world gets a flu but I have to lose my voice while I'm at it. Hrmph.

We were supposed to meet up on Thursday night but I told him earlier that day that I was beginning to feel a little under the weather, and since someone in his family happened to be travelling this weekend, it might not be such a good idea to meet in case he passed it to them. 

I think he may have been impressed / moved by my thoughtfulness (hey, I try!!) but I honestly didn't feel like it was going to be a quick 24-hour bug and the last thing I wanted was to pass it to BIKSS or anyone else.

So I came straight home from work on Thursday evening, ate some cup noodles (that's my comfort food whenever I'm feeling ill), and popped some pills before hitting the sack. Went to see the Doc on Friday morning and sauntered in to school to pass them the doctor's note and sort out some details for the day's classes - I was in no condition to teach. On the way home I had to go past a warehouse sale... so of course since it was en route to the bus stop, I took a detour and managed to pick up a cute top for half the original price. :-)

Heh. I told BIKSS I was going to pop into the sale and take a look, and he didn't fuss so that was all the permission I needed. 

After that I came home, put away my stuff and vegetated on the couch. Between watching Fringe and craving for foods I shouldn't be eating, I did nothing else besides drift in and out of sleep. 

I had a class today. It was all pointing and hand gestures but she's an older kid and is easy to teach. And then I cancelled everything else so that I can rest and vegetate on the couch.

I'm supposed to be back in school tomorrow so wish me luck and a speedy recovery cos I can't afford another sick day. We have horrid staff welfare in this country. Grrrr.

In the meantime, thanks for reading about my totally boring weekend.
