Elmo's owner's ramblings

Today was a good day. Good in the sense that I finally managed to sneek off sometime from work to just sleep and not do anything. I've been feeling a little under to weather lately. Body ache and a slight headache. My parents are a little worried as they've just fully recovered from their bout of dengue fever. I seriously doubt it is. I think it's just my body screaming out the need for rest. I've also been having this persistent lower back pain which could be due to the way I've been sitting, hunched over my laptop on the bed...not the best position. But to be safe I'll have it checked out once Hubbs returns from Tampa.

I'm really looking forward to the Hubbs' return as I'll finally be able to take a few days of and just be at home with him to vegetate and catch up with my reading, dvds and not forgetting catching up with Hubbs. I truly cherish such rare moments as it has been really difficult to find time for myself. Like I always say to those who are envious that I run my own business, it's much easier being an employee than an employer as the day never ends. Being an employee though has its fair share of frustration can be a little easier on one's sanity as there's always the option of "heck it! I've had enough" but unfortunately no such luxury can be said for being self employed. But I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. What is important is that we must never lose sight of the bigger picture and that is to be thankful for all the blessings of being able to do what we do.

Easter is coming and so is my birthday. I'm looking forward to Easter as for the whole of next week there's this speaker from Asbury Theological Seminary who will be preaching at church for Holy Week. A nice change from our usual pastors. As for my birthday I'm not too keen on it as that would mean I'm getting older. But I guess there's no running away from it. It doesn't make it any better that Hubbs is again away this year and is unable to spend my birthday with me. Ever since we got married we have consistently managed to miss either our wedding anniversary or my birthday because Hubbs has to go to US. Oh well, maybe what is important is the quality of time spent when we are together.

Mom, Dad, Big Bro, Boy and wifey came over for dinner tonight. We "ta pua-ed" from 88. It was nice to have everyone together for dinner as we have not had dinner as a family since mom went into hospital. Too bad Hubbs isn't around. Everyone misses you Hubbs...can't wait till April. The usual topic of conversation was our bowel movements :-) and "why have a dog when you can have kids". It ended with Big Bro saying no worries as , if and when, he gets married, "sui cha bor" will certainly want kids. So Big Bro, get married soon and take the burden off us!

I've just put in another web counter as I realised that I've been deceiving myself. The existing web counter actually tracks everyone that comes into this blog regardless of how many times you been to the site. It is currently at 70 and I realised that 90% of those visits are by me and the rest by Hubbs. Poor me. Anyway I've decided to put in another counter to track only new visitors. Currently it's still at 2 i.e me and hubb. So let's hope it picks up soon.

Enough of my ramblings. Will post on Elmo's progress later.
