The price of guilt

I was expecting myself to be queuing for hours on Boxing day to get the Devil’s handbag and shoes and of course, MD’s attire after. Alas my dream was crushed on Xmas eve. All of a sudden, a bug hit me and less than 24 hours I was forced to be bedridden. This lasted for a few days. I couldn’t even leave the bed without seeing black polka dots.

Hmm, I wonder why the mind decided to see so. It would have been nicer if it was twinkling stars or flying pixies.

The temperature finally dropped today but I still feel weak. The young lady has been putting a brave face. Occasionally I could see she cried silently, hoping her mummy to get better. She quickly wiped her tears before she got into the room, thinking that her mum wouldn’t notice her worry.

Why do kids think they can fool their mums, eh? They should know that we have radar for these things. *grins*

Anyway, as I was feeling guilty, I asked the nanny to take her out. Naturally the young lady refused to leave me home alone but I told her that she needed to check if mummy’s favourite DVD is out. It was a distraction of course.

When she got home, she was smiling from ear to ear. She got herself a new DS game. It was a small price to pay for a girl who had to go through emotional stress.

As for me, my purse was spared. I supposed it was not meant for me to spend this year. Perhaps next time yeah. *winks*

*Ms B will take a few days off to recuperate. She hopes she has enough entertainment at home to keep her sane

so sorry to hear you're unwell, i think you were working too hard the last few days before xmas. you should really give yourself a good break you know! and if i was in london, i would have volunteered to bring the little lady out!

nway,i went to the sales, it was complete madness, the crowd was crazy. MD was good but yknow what, you will probably get better bargains towards the end! nearly everything from the last season was on sale

ps:terkejut my cat dengar lagu jay-z when i opened your blog. the volume on my comp was maximum

Ms B said...

hi inah,

yeah yeah... esok masih ada kan? :P I suppose I have to wait for the next big sale.

Ms B said...

thank u! alaa jada sakit ke? isy isy... hope she gets better soon.

the weather is crazy here!

Ms B said...

aporn,

Ms B said...

hi mawar,

dah takde rezeki kan. sigh. I was already aiming a few items from a few shops but I bet they are gone, unless they arent others' favorite.

hmm, maybe i should shop online??? *lol*

Ms B said...

IDB,

ah, the doc in the house! I just came back from the GP and begged her to find out whats wrong with me!!! i did the blood test few weeks ago and it came out picture perfect. Yet i fell sick twice and this was the worse in a few years (if i recall correctly. cant remember the last time i was bedridden).

I thought it was swine but the rule was strict ie 7 days of constant symptoms before u can see doc. Mine was only 6 days but it wasnt that. Apparently the weather is nasty and chances of falling sick is high. sigh...

ok, i hope after 1 week, MD still has interesting items on sale. my friends said the crowd was crazy here as well (mostly asians who went shopping).

ps: nasib baik cat and not aidan. but maybe aidan will dance to the tune. he he he
