Down and out for the count...
So since I've come here last, I've been in and out of the hospital, had somewhat major back surgery which will take 1-3 months to recover from, resigned from my job, and have been pretty much confined to the couch since got home from the hospital last Sunday.
So I'm stuck with nothing to do for 1-3 months. I don't even know if I'll be able to visit the US in July anymore. Normally, under these circumstances when I'm given far too much idle time by myself, I tend to fall into unproductive depression, but I don't really feel that way right now. Maybe it's the meds I'm on?
I don't feel so bad about resigning from my job. It was pretty stressful with low pay and a really long day for "part-time" hours. Still, I know I will miss it. I will miss seeing my kids and the staff I became friends with everyday. But resigning was the right thing to do, and the principal and I parted ways on good terms. I may even go back when I'm feeling better.
My leg (the one that lost all feeling) is aching me today. I'm hoping that's a good sign of the nerves recovering. Despite this, I think I'm going to take a taxi to the mall for a quick lunch and to get a small present for my husband. Because 1) I will die of boredom stuck in my flat, eating nothing but PB&J and/or pizza for lunch and 2) he's been absolutely wonderful during this whole episode and tomorrow is our 8th wedding anniversary, so I need to get him a present.
We ususally get each other a traditional gift, and for the 8th wedding anniversary it is traditional to give something bronze. I don't know if I'll be able to do that, I don't even know where to buy something bronze in Singapore. He might have to settle for some Jellybellys until I recover enough to go looking.
Anyway, I'm off. On to my lunch adventure!
