Random Ramblings

Ramblings while on drugs...

Being sick has its ups and downs. I’ve kept away from everyone in the house – in fear of infecting them. So it’s been a lonesome period for me. And since when being sick was a good thing right? At least I managed to clear up some stuff that I was supposed to go ages ago, and caught up on sleep. Still have a lot to do before the New Year arrives. I haven’t even really unpacked from my weekend trip *sigh*

I finally wandered out of my room to go see the kids beyond the “hellos” and “goodnights”. As much as I’m not so fond of kids, living with these kids is a roller coaster ride – in the dark. I have no idea what is coming next and it’s sometimes interesting.

One talks way to soft and its hard to hear anything… strange when that child used to be noisy. Something just doesn’t feel right there. Another runs up to me for a hug – it feels great knowing sometimes someone actually cares.

Finally was willing to go near my goddaughter today. She’s so big and strong; I think she is ahead of her time. Her neck is strong enough, she can bring herself up halfway, can push herself up to stand if you hold her, and she can stand for pretty long too – only needs someone to hold her for balance. She’s very vocal too… damn loud when she wants to be – just babbling in her own language. Sounds like she is complaining some of the time, but mostly just seems like she wants to communicate. She gets really happy when you talk to her – whether or not she actually understands what you are saying. And when you don’t, she gets a little grumpy. According to her grandma, if you show her an angry look, she too will go all serious looking with a look that she might just cry; but if you smile and laugh, she will giggle along with you.

Her little face bursting with cheerfulness is always something to look forward too especially after a long day of work, or a period of illness
