Random whatevs

The husband is away, again. I feel like a broken record. Because everytime someone asks how he is, I say he's well (alhamdulillah) but he's away at the moment. "Again?" the person would ask. "Yes," I would say. And then I'd smile.


Single motherhood is HARD work - I should know because the husband is not around often enough for me to consider myself loosely affiliated to single mothers. I am also surrounded by single mothers at work. There are a couple in the office and I work with a few who are outside of Singapore. I marvel at their strength and courage. How do you keep your sanity, I often wonder. I don't know them well enough to ask them that question, but I really, really want to know the answer!


Anyways, this post is not about single motherhood. Won't do justice on the topic.

This post is of course, about ME.

I'm feeling slightly under the weather today. My body is aching and I'm getting the chills. I just downed a whole packet of M&Ms because you know, I needed the sugar boost and I can't say no to chocolates. Once I was done to the last M&M, after going through those oh-so-delicious confection in record time, I cast a cursory glance at the nutrition label and saw that those darn-it delicious M&Ms will cost me 200 calories. Maybe that's why I started feeling feverish...? But the good news is, those M&Ms are free from trans fat. As you can tell rejoicing in the small victories is my forte.

Now that I am done with random ramblings, I need to go and take some Panadol and shake off this bug.

ronin: i have had enough pratice to not go nuts anymore. when my husband is away, i mean. nothing to do with your chicky hahahha (ok, that was lame, i know).

rina: thanks, i am feeling much better.

ms mumbles: thank you for your kind words. by the way, M&Ms are also good for staining your tongue (although i'm not sure what good that would do, unless you're into tongue painting?).
