PORRIDGE... CARROTS...
Today I'm back to office. Had taken MC the last 2 days because I wasn't feeling too well again on Tuesday morning. Saw a doctor and he prescribed me medicine for throat infection, cough and runny nose. I wanted to come back to work yesterday but in the end, decided I shall give myself 1 more day of rest since I'm covered. On top of that, all the medicine made me very drowsy.
Even though I was physically absent from work, my mind would still think about work. This morning, a group of NUS students taking the social work module SW1101E this semester came to our centre for a visit. I was the person in charge of coordinating the visit, and so during the time while I was at home on MC, I was trying to recall if there was anything that still needed to be done, whether I needed to reply to the social work department one more time to confirm the visit, and whether anyone would turn up. I called up Li Ching on both days just to ensure that I have done whatever that was necessary and to look into a few other things. And my colleagues just told me to not to think so much and just get a good rest. A few others who were also facilitating the visit with me had also helped to look into the preparations.
So, I obeyed them and didn't hound them anymore haha... while I was at home, I mainly ate meals prepared by my father, took my medication, slept... Then I would wake again, eat, take medicine, and sleep again. Sometimes, the more I sleep, the more tired I become. So I watched a bit of Kids' Central and some other TV programmes to pass time.
For one of the meals, my father told me beforehand that he was going to cook chicken and fish porridge. At that moment, I recalled the porridge that Sis Kless has been making for Joey. One phrase that Sis Kless used stuck in my mind: good porridge for Joey... I didn't know why, but whenever I think about porridge, I will think about this phrase, and especially, the mental image of porridge with carrots in it (also due to one segment where Sis Kless mentioned carrots). Thus, I requested that my father add carrots into the chicken and fish porridge. In the end, when I tasted the porridge, it was really good! Hee... Don't know whether it's psychological or what, but I just craved for carrots and felt that it did make a difference though I'm 100% sure my father's sliced chicken meat and fried fish are also as nice as orangy carrots!
My mother just sms-ed me that tonight's dinner will be porridge again. But I don't think there's gonna be carrots added in tonight. I don't mind, somehow the craving for carrots is gone now... :)
