So this has been one crazy December. Coming off a two-week vacation at the end of November, I entered December in a really good, but admittedly lazy, mindset.
The family put up the Christmas tree while I was gone. It collapsed the second day I was back, prompting me to declare that "Christmas is cancelled!" It's my inner scrooge. Hehehe. We put the Christmas tree back up.
Beginning December, I didn't mind that Christmas and New Year would fall on weekends. I felt complacent since I'd done the bulk of my gift shopping in October. (How's that for being a responsible adult? Ha!) I left out buying anything for the office so I had to rush that on the second December weekend.
Oh! My birthday! Well, I got my license renewed, went to the office, had dinner with En and Er. It was a great dinner, except that I wasn't feeling so great by dessert time. I was distinctly queasy and asked to cut short the dinner. En drove me home and I threw up in the car. (Ewwww) Well, not in the car car, but in a tissue box while in the car. Hahaha!
Spent the rest of Friday night and early Saturday morning kneeling before the white throne. Slept the whole day. Watched the azkals game on TV. Started manifesting a fever at about 6pm until my temperature peaked at 38.6C. Woke up on Sunday with no other symptoms except for lack of appetite. (My sister started her stomach bug a few hours earlier, and my brother fully developed the flu). Happy birthday to me! We had lechon and cake. (Though I wasn't able to eat much.)
Then the slew of birthday lunches and dinners and christmas get-togethers. I'm tired and my wallet is tired and my credit card is peeling. Hehehe. There were a couple of disappointments regarding my birthday, though, but I guess you really can't have it all. (But, we could've had it all!!!!!)
M offered to drive me home but I said no. I hope he doesn't take it as a "I'm not interested." It's just that that was a bad time since K and I had other plans that night. So, M, let's try it again, okay?
The office Christmas party. Gifts. Lots of food and christmas goodies. To hell with RTH. I'll just put it in my 2012 resolutions.
Anyway, I've got two more working days until the Christmas/weekend. Another 4 working days until New Year/weekend. And bam! its 2012!
I can already tell it's going to be a great 2012. Why do I know this? Because first day back at work, January 2, I'd be leading the flag ceremony at the office. Oh dear.
