2017 Week 24 Update

This week has been quite eventful for me. I’ve been hinting about this for a while, but I started a new job last Monday. It’s different from what I’ve done before and I am still in the learning process. The people here seem nice and I am hoping I can be here for a long time.

Coming back from the holiday, GG fell sick and passed the virus to me on Sunday afternoon. So I was sick the first day of work. I could not take time off since it was my first week there, so I was popping medicines at night and going to work in the morning. I’m much better now and actually have passed the virus along to S, who is now sick!

My hiring manager has been very busy this week with deadlines so I will be meeting them only sometime next week to discuss what I need to do first.

This was pretty much my week. Hopefully, I will be happy here and have many stories to share! Have a wonderful week folks!

2017 Week 23 Update

We had been on a holiday to an Indonesian island over the past few days and it was such a chill holiday. We had no agenda and didn’t do any sightseeing, which was a new thing for me. I’ll do a proper blog post with more details, especially from the perspective of someone who is vegetarian.

We had a relaxing 2.5 days and came home to a sick helper. Actually, she fell sick the day before we left for our holiday, so that evening, I took her to the doctor and loaded her up with medicines before we left. The fever broke a day later, but she was still weak when we came back. So immediately, I had to start working when I reached home, doing the housework and cooking for the next couple of days. As I write this, she is in the clear, but still feels weak because she is not eating anything except some juice and fruits.

I am starting something new now, more details to follow when things are more clear.

Have a great week folks!

 

2017 Week 22 Update

The week started off on a very good note for me. It’s something I don’t want to share as yet, but once things get finalised, I will definitely share it here! Suffice to say, I have been quite happy this week.

We also finalised our holiday later this week. We’re going to one of our neighbours, to a place, I honestly never saw myself going for a  holiday. So more posts on the holiday to look forward to.

The last week also seemed to go quite fast and in what seemed like the blink of an eye we’re almost halfway through 2017!

I’m really looking forward to this break, so more next week when I check in!

Have a wonderful week people!

2017 Week 21 Update

For some reason, this week felt it went very fast. I just feel that Monday just went by and here we are with another Monday! Also this month of May comes to an end this week and we’ll be in month six of the year! Wow! 2017, please do slow down a bit. 

Nothing much happened this week. I went for my three month HbA1C test and for the first time since I was diagnosed with diabetes, my count was in the optimal range. I am slightly over the ideal range, which is my target for the next test. This happened because I started walking very seriously and have consistently hit 15,000 steps a day during the week and 10,000 steps a days over the weekends and holidays. Now I need to ensure I am consistent in walking and also eating well so I can drop down to the ideal range!

This was my big news of the week. I am hoping for more good news this week, so please send some good vibes my way, if you can!

2017 Week 20 Update

We’re close to the halfway mark of this year and I suspect I am starting to get depressed with this whole job hunt business. 

This week was my usual sort of week with some errands I had to run outside the home. It actually felt good to get out and I am really yearning to start working again so I can be out and about. For someone who prefers books to people, this is surprising even to me! I think this year plus of introspection has made me even more committed to doing a great job should I be hired. Though I sometimes wonder if I will ever get hired. Wonder if it’s my age which is against me. Anyway I did promise not to bring my negativity here, so I’ll stop right here. 

School ends this week and I should really start planning a short holiday. S is busy but can spare a couple of days. So need to research places close to home. I am actually rooting for a destination in Malaysia which is a 3-4 hour driving distance away, but will look at some Indonesian islands which are a short ferry ride away too!

Have an awesome week folks and hope your week is filled with joy and happiness.
