a dog's life

i can't believe this myself too.

1 week of absence on a school week,
5 days of MCs,
3 trips to the doctors,
2 doctors i've seen,
2 jabs i've been given,
all kinds of painkillers given,
lessons i've missed,
loads of paper work to be done,
exam papers to be set.

it has been terrible.
i can't even look at the computer screen as it gives me acute pain.
work emails piled up for the past week.
i'm worried.

people at work have been most understanding and nice.

sandy, grace and widya,
your silent support has helped me able to not to look at work at all and get all the rest i needed.

clarisse and your words have made me think twice about putting my health second to my work.

my boss have been the ultimate supporter to me since i started teaching.

daryl and nat for your constant prayers through phones and sms.

mas and marcus for taking my classes and workload without any complaints.

weilin and shirley taking care of SJAB and my form class.

and i realised:
i can't do that much really.
i really really can't.

this time round i'll only try and i'll put my expectation of my best lower. my boss says my fault is i'd never learn to say "No" when asked to do something.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

i went through my emails today and amongst work stuffs,
came a very sad news.
Blackie has passed away.
11 years with our family.
my cousins and i are very close and we are a bunch of dog-lovers.
my young cousin has rescued Blackie on her way to work and as we all have dogs at that time, cousin P decided to take Blackie in as she has never had a dog before.
as usual, the mother would grumble but Blackie won the hearts of the whole family in no time.
now she's gone.

Cousin P sent a long email to us with her thoughts and her memories of Blackie.
it reminded me of Chie Chie, my first dog.

it's true that these little friends are really true friends of humans.
for this whole week, KiKi has been by my side all the time.
she would sit real close to me just to make sure i'm ok.

'The only fault a dog has is a life too short'.

i'm sure Blackie is happy wherever she is now.
Chie Chie has company in doggie's heaven. :)

You are much missed by us of Narnian ilk, but it is okay if we don't see you at work, especially if coming back will not make you better. You must take good care of yourself, okay? ((hugs))
