It has been along week for me. Last Friday, he sent a SMS saying he was home. At 5 in the evening. That had me worried. i called up and he said he was not feeling well so he thought he would rest. i rushed home but not before going to the pharmacy. i bought so many medicine that the guy must have thought i had a dying family or something! Vicks, cough syrup, paracetamol tablets, throat soothing lozenges, decongestant nasal drops, vitamin c tablet, flu tablets…When i got home, i was distraught to find he had high temperature. i got down to playing nurse – sponging and massaging and the works.
Weekend: My guy down with fever and cold & cough. Spent pretty much the whole time trying to be a good nurse – patient with the patient, caring blah and more blah. The worse thing was the food – i am always at a complete loss when cooking simple food. i am more the spicy, oily type of chef!
He skipped office for two days and i decided to be an angel and stay back too and nurse him back to health! God, i nearly acquired a halo and wings!
This is the first time i have really seen him this sick. i have always been away –either onsite or elsewhere- when he got sick before. i guess it scared me to see this big guy slumped in bed.
Thank god that he is a bit better now though the cough persists.
And we were fourth in the Dumb Charades event – lost out by 5 points! But it was so fun. I am new to this game – at onsite it was everyone’s favorite game except mine; all dinner parties ended with a session of dumb charades. I love the guessing part though. I was depressed that we did not win a prize because I was counting on the prize money to buy a good glossy recipe book. Look at me - behaving as if I cannot afford it on my own! But it is much more fun buying it with those prize coupons!
And i got promoted – meaning, i am now officially responsible for everyone’s mistakes apart from my own! i don’t know how i would cope with office politics and whether i would be able to be ever politically correct in meetings. i need to sharpen my resource management skills and not fume and spew fire when irked.
The next week being Durga Puja, we have three days off! i am planning to take Monday off so I will have an really extended weekend! yahooooooo.....
