Mommy Sick

♠ I was sick last week, which meant I didn't do the laundry, cooked and washed the dishes. It meant I had a runny nose like a faucet, a ballooning headache, constant cramps on my flanks and appetite for sexÃœ.
♠ I finally put to use the HMO card I'm paying for. I saved around three thousand bucks for the check up and tests to be done and had to shell out around 250 pesos per day for medicine. It can get worse. So I'm not complaining.
♠ When sick, I don't look sick. So I still had to go to work.
♠ My prescribed medicines are taken orally and some other way than orally, go figure.

Mommy Scared

♠ Matthew had been throwing up a lot lately, even if he hasn't eaten a thing. He complains of having a headache and his tummy hurting. Aware of the dengue scare, we bring him to the ER. Dengue scare is just a scare, but he is dehydrated and has Espohageal Gastric Reflux. Thanks to HMO for footing the bill. I still have to pay for meds though.
♠ Matthew is showing signs of an only child syndrome - being a spoiled, jealous brat. I go play with Iana, a cousin who is a year old, he goes to tell me, “Mommy, I'm not your favorite anymore.” He increases his when-will-I-have-a-baby-sister to age two-hands-all-fingers = 10.

Mommy Cooking

♠I'm getting the hang of the kitchen. Edil has praised me for cooking asado a few days ago, his first compliment ever since I started cooking, which was like, 2 months ago, hahahaha!Ãœ. I'm planning to do this next week. Maybe on a rest day.
♠ After about 10 trips to the grocery and spending 30 minutes on the poultry and meat section, I finally know what kasim, pigue, and shank mean, instead of asking “Ano po yung pang sinigang na baboy?” to the saleslady. I miss eating tahong though, since I don't have time to go to the market.

Mommy Nurse

♠ Some of my nursing classmates have passed their CGFNS exams, which makes me jealous. I can't wait to practice. Hopefully, in two months. Maybe three. Definitely not going to wait 6 months.
♠ I took a self-measuring test if I'm ready to take it and I got more than average scores. Whaddayaknow, 8 months of not opening any nursing book and some of it has stayed in my brain.
♠ Unrelated: I saw a batchmate in Med Tech when we took Matthew to the ER. She was an intern already. My heart did painful lurches for about five minutes. Edil told me, “Hindi mo kelangan maging doktor kasi may ibang plano sayo. Ganun talaga buhay.” I wonder what that is. Sana sa hospital pa din.
♠ I got my PRC card at last! After having the first one stolen after one week of it being released, I'm not too keen on having it on my wallet anymore. Buti na lang din napalitan, mas OK picture ko dito, hahaha Ãœ.

Mommy Work

♠ I got stocks! Im not allowed to divulge details due to insider trading policy but a unit stock sells for around $10.00 right now. I have around 40, so you guess the figure. I can't wait for it to hit $20.00 and I'm getting something good for myself. It is nice I'm learning all about stock options and making money.
♠ Working in graveyard has grown on me, pero I'm not used to going to work at night. Darkness scares me now. I'd rather be in bed with my boys.
♠ Reading from the PC is a threat to my 20/20 vision. I need to get glasses for eyestrain. HMO would cover that, I hope.

Busy, boring, routinary life.
