Was down and out

Demam!!!! Selsema!!!! Was sick since Saturday.. Now better, Alhamdulillah, cuma demam still on and off. Now it is the flu season, and me being so malas, didn't get the flu shot, so now paying the price for it. The kids got their jabs so Alhamdulillah, they are doing fine so far. So the weekend, duk rumah, can't do anything, well, it was too cold to go out anyway but had to miss out on a lunch invitation by a Malaysian friend of ours. I was looking forward to such gathering because we can meet up and catch up and the kids would always have fun playing sesama Malaysians (they are the only Malaysians in their school, so sekali sekala jumpa geng sekampung, mestilah happy) plus the food is always good and delicious! Oh well, what to do. But on Monday night, had to fight the sickness to go out jugak because we have bought tickets to see the Harlem Globe Trotters at Madison Square Garden..rugi ooo kalau tak pergi, so I had to pull out all the strength that I had, or rather what is left, in my body to go. Once we were there, rasa macam ok, ye la, excited punya pasal, siap jerit2 and once, we got up and danced..hmm... Bila balik, I just realised that I was still sick. The next day I was back again, lying on the couch with tissues in my hand and feeling like a zombie with all the medication. Hubby dearest took over in the kitchen for three days...:). Thank you darling! The kids supposed to be on their mid winter break for a week, but kena ganti three days of school because of Hurricane Sandy where they were off for a week. Nope, they are definitely not happy about it. Well...what to do....ok, time for my meds again...

Super duper lazy week

This week has been so unproductive..been feeling ssssoooo lazy to do anything, cook, exercise, clean the house, write or even go out to the shops! Well, I still cooked and cleaned the house..no choice in those department but the exerise was non-existent for this week..unless you can count five minutes of so-called sit ups, exercise. The excuses..well, "best-friend" time of the month plus migraine. Plus I have been missing home so much..feels like going home right now..blaming it on the cold weather and also am really hoping we can go back for good this year. It is not that I am not grateful getting the opportunity to stay in the big apple but three years are enough, to me, it is time we head home. But there is no news whatsoever yet, not knowing is so agonizing! So, that explains my non-productive week..hopefully next week would be better, In syas Allah. Better start exercising again, my jeans are 'shrinking'!!!!!!. A blizzard coming tonight, expecting at least 8 inches of snow..have stocked up on some basic essentials, hoping everything will be fine, In syaa Allah. The kids are complaining about the cold and missing the sun back home. And missing the food too..:( Trying to stay positive is not easy but I guess somebody has to do it!
