We have a picnic today but I decided not to come to work. I haven't been feeling very well since yesterday but after popping in 2 nyquils last night, I'm feeling a little better. Still, I didn't want to expose myself and get worse. Everyone left work at around 11:30 to get to the park. It's almost 2pm and I'm still working - quietly for a change. It felt good not to reply to any emails, nor answer any calls!
I thought that after my teammates left for the park, I could give myself a break and rest. However, I'm trying to make the most of my quiet time to accomplish a lot more. Maybe around 3pm, I could log off and attend to my errands. I need to go to the grocery to buy a few toiletries and some key ingredients for a cake, then go to Michael's to buy a scrapbooking magazine.
It's J's 9th month birthday and we offered to celebrate here at home. Theirs is currently in a mess because they're having their flooring changed. We'll probably just buy dinner for tonight since it's just going to be me, my roommate, J's parents, and her elder brother. I'm planning to bake and decorate a cake, but this all depends if I'm up to it.
As far as the scrapbooking magazine goes, I'm planning to start on a new hobby. Hubz asked me last night where I am going to get the time to do it. I know he was getting worried about me, especially when I'm getting sick. He would remind me everyday to take my vitamins, sleep right, eat well. Those were my kilig moments. It's a great feeling to have someone care for you, even when they're afar.
I wanted to start scrapbooking because we have tons of wedding and honeymoon pictures, and photos from my most recent trip home unorganized. Besides, I love looking at scrapbooks. I call it a labor of love because it's not easy to put one together. Anyway, I have been told that it's a relaxing activity as well. Maybe I can call it a de-stressing activity.
