Of An Eventful Week

It's been a hectic one and a half week.

The daycare center was closed from July 1st by the Department of Health. Four infants contracted hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) and the premise was turned upside down with cleaning and the sort until the relevant department advised that it was safe to resume business on the 6th.

I took half day leave for each of the day the center was closed to chauffer the kids to/from schools. It was a very tiring affair, braving through lunch-time traffic and finding lunch spots for the picky eaters. Despite the complaints, i gained some pounds from joining the kids' heavenly lunches. Dang.

On a different note, adik has been sick since Monday. His temperature roller-costered until he got really sick on Wednesday. The good doctor said that it's nothing to be worried about. That's a relieve.

On Thursday however, he was sick again after school and i had to rush back from the office to get him. He slept the whole after after downing his meds and his temp dropped. We brought him to see the doctor again and he was cleared for dengue and the sort. A big relieve indeed but constant monitoring is essential to really ensure his state of health.

As if the episodes are not enough to keep me on my toes, i had to save the demsel in distress who missed the bus. Again, i braved through lunch-time traffic, on a Friday. It was freakin tiring, i tell ya. I was too tired to nag at her by the time i reached the school. Sigh.

My heart goes out to my niece Kaisa, whom left arm is broken from a fall. She's wearing a cast and sling, though the sling is now nowhere to be found - according to her mom.

Also to my nephew, Dhani who's in the hospital undergoing physio and making friends with the nebulizer. I have seen adik went through the same ordeal when he was just a baby. I can only imagine what my brother's going through right now.

I plan to make a trip down south for respective visits to the poor babies.

Kakak has a class today and both of the kids will have their taekwondo exam next week. They're going for green belts and have been practising hard for the exam. I did mention that they would need to pay me $50 each if the fail to bring back green belts. Fees are non-refundable - so it has to be worth the money i'm paying. Heheh.

So most probably i'll make that trip after everything's settled.

Meanwhile, let me just enjoy the weekend.
