harried life

life has been quite harried the past few days since mom is in the hospital taking care of my sister. sis, will be going under the knife today to remove her gall bladder and to remove whatever's blocking her intestines. the bill has rung up to 50k already with all the tests, not including doctor fee's (and she has 3 doctors) and the operation. ugh, i gave mom my atm last night because there were hospital bills to pay and i have to chip-in. i was thankful that i had a job that pays well right now and i was thankful that i decided to save money starting last year. i realized that i have to "love" my job because it affords me to live a very comfortable life right now.

while i've been sick since friday (got better yesterday already), i had to take care of my nephew most of the time (bathe, feed, watch over, play). i had to clean his milk bottles and prepare his water when i get home from work. i had to also drive to the hospital a number of times over the past few days. i am usually dead tired when i get home, and it takes so much energy to wake up and prepare for my daily 6am meetings (which i chair). some days, i feel like i am just going to pass out but i try to make do with what little time to juggle work with school deadlines. its a good thing that school isn't as stressful as the previous terms or i'm sure i would have died already.

right now, i'm just wishing for strength to get through the day. and some more sleep.
