Coincidentally, The Hubby came home today. Early today at about 4 am. So happy to have him home. He hadn't been well while he was away. Bad flu, sore throat and cough .. So I was glad he was back home. I'm a fierce loyal believer of modern medicine and prescribed drugs in general. Haha! And I KNEW The Hubby being who he is .. Didn't bother to take ANY kind of medication while he was there sick and dying (ok, I'm being melodramatic here) ..
Actually, he had told me he was on the mend .. Guess it was just to alleviate my concern cos by evening time today, the man was hacking away and looked like hell.
I quickly doled out the drugs after he had his dinner. And almost immediately, his hacking stopped .. Yay for Tussidex! Hope the Danzen kicks in too and his throat stops hurting .. I gave him some Panadol to help with the pain too.
Anyway, I have him today and Monday. Hope he gets better by Tuesday when he has to go back to work.
In other news, before The Man fell sick over there, he managed to buy almost everything I had on The Shopping List. Now, this list is important .. Long ago before we had The List, the man would come back with all sorts of things he thought WE would want and like.
Example 1 : he came home this one time from Indonesia with a laser pointer. FOR ME. The housewife who doesn't need to do any kind of PowerPoint presentations at all. Ever. I tried very hard to look happy with said gift. But really .. A laser pointer ???!!
Example 2 : those Science telescope sets .. For Claudia. Not bad what, you say. She was 4 years old I think. To her credit, she tried to look enthusiastic about it cos she knew her Daddy was. But she didn't have a clue what it was or what it did .. Poor girlie. I think a stuffed toy would've been better. Lol.
Anyhow, somewhere along the way, he also decided it was just SIMPLER if he had a list of what to get for the girls and for me. So it was my job to get this list ready. I had to be specific. Preferably with pictures. And where he could go get them. And the price.
He had to just go to the place and find all I wanted on this list. Not as simple as it sounds though. Sometimes, things go out of stock etc. so I have back up items in that list as well.
I think I do a decent job. I put together a list of things that are usually on sale. Hehe. I love doing that. He also added in extra stuff which he thought the girls might like .. And to his credit, the man is getting better at it.
He got me perfume. My favourite one. And a handbag :) also on The List so the design and colour came as no surprise to me. No big deal. I prefer it that way. Back in the days before The List, he would get me what he thought was nice .. And let me tell you, I still have not used those bags. Lol.
So glad and happy he's home. I missed him so while he was away. That and there was no one else to send anyone to whatever class whoever had. Haha. So today, when Emily had a birthday party at some Macs restaurant, guess who took her? Not me. I love my man. Hope he feels better soon :)
