Whew

Yes I am going to take things easy. Yes I need to be in control.

There is restructuring in the office and yes (again) it is happening a month before my three week holiday. Therefore there is additional work to do. My procedure manual has to be updated. I have this Monday as deadline. Putting your day to day routine into words is difficult – I am running out of verbs – there are several adjectives – though not appropriate to be shared.

But I am easily distracted. I thought I will do a bit of packing. I started with my tote bags (the type where you place all your toiletries and sundries when you travel). I discovered I have three and each one has so much rubbish in them. In one tote I found samplers of make up and other cosmetics which I collected from magazines. I thought sachets are good alternatives (apart from they are free) – they are lightweight and easy to pack.

I enjoyed that distraction.

I went back to my mission.

I received an email from friend. How about meeting for a late lunch? Why not? I emailed back. Off to town and had a leisurely lunch with R. We looked around shops and tried on several outfits. Nothing fits – hmm, the light salad did not work.

Then I invited her over for tea so T her husband can collect her from the house. And then after more food and more cups of green tea and Dark Knight DVD I called it a day.

Yes I was taking things easy and yes I will soon be in control.
