All in a day's work & thoughts.....

My one month of unpaid leave starts officially today. Came into this decision after a long time of hesitation and after 7 days of thinking, I decided that I will take it. Today, the reality of my leave is beginning to sink in. Am beginning to miss my clients. Or rather, I really do miss my job.

Ministry wise, I also took a one month off in HopeKids. More for the purpose of wanting to get ministered on Sunday. I foresee myself shuttling between hospital and home daily. I do pray that when my dad is more stable, I'd start going CG in the evening. Today when I saw Pin Toh up on stage advertizing HopeKids 441 Vision, I suddenly miss my P2 kids!!! Also, thanks to my shepherd, my sheeps are taken care of. HopeKids & sheeps has become so much a part of my life.

One month seems short... But today when I think about it, it sounds long. =) But anyhow, the very main purpose of the leave is really so that when my dad sees the whole family working towards his recovery, he will be more motivated! At the same time, relief my mum of her load and burden!

When the leave starts, my role as a "homemaker" starts too! Today, cooked 2 dishes + 1 soup. Soup's with the help of my lovely mummy. She got ready all the ingredients! But no worries! I have jotted it down! Then next time, I can do it myself.. Heehee..

Just as I was mopping the floor after all the cooking, my sister stepped out of toilet and fell to the floor and fainted. Ok... Must be clear. She fainted but did not lose consciousness. Gave me a scare!! Gosh.. 2 crisis in 2 weeks is really training me! When I got hold of her, I kept praying and ask God for wisdom cause I ain't no doc!! I don't know what to do!!!! Haaaa!!! First reaction is to prop her head up. Rushed to my room for cushions (my cushions have been very helpful! 2 are with daddy now!). Then suddenly thought that she could do with some hot water and panadols (for pain). Gosh.. things happened so fast that all I could remember was that I was trembling while grabbing the pills and water, reminding myself to be calm.

Praise God, thank God, all was fine! I must say, there was a moment when I told myself "SHUCKS! I should have chosen the profession of a nurse or doctor instead of a social worker sia! Then I won't be so cumbersome!"

Anyway, my sis's blog has more info PLUS a picture of her lying down. Er.. main purpose was to show her how faithful my Terrier was! Protecting her whilst I was doing the errands. Even when I got near her, he growled at me. Grrrrr....

Oh yah.. Not forgetting, today's mummy's birthday! Got her a NIKE polo T chosen by sis and boyfriend. 1 Suduko book. 1 Circular Suduko book. 1 Starbucks Tiramisu cake shared by 3 of us + 2 dogs! Happy birthday mummy!!!
