ADDICTED

The two little kiddos are in DREAMLAND so here I am with a minute or two to spare. Just taken the happy little yellow pill because I've got an attack of the sneezies. You should take a look inside my medicine drawer. It can double up as a doctor's mini store anytime. Headache pills, body ache pills, fever, flu, pills for the runs, numerous multicoloured painkillers for all kinds of pains you can imagine - available in drowsy and non-drowsy versions. My personal preference is of course the drowsy kind, they put you in a happy place - in your bed for at least 8 hours straight! I even have pills left over from my pregnancies .. Obimin tablets, the packaging was so pretty that I didn't want to throw them away. But I am not about to talk about an addiction to medicine .. in fact I have an allergy to them. Zak can vouch for that. That's why I have so many leftovers in my drawer.

Today, I barely managed to get through work. I was totally sleepy because I missed my morning coffee. What else, busy, busy, busy. By the time I managed to get a cuppa it was 3 pm and my entire system was out of sync. You could say that I am addicted to coffee now. I'm a late developer where coffee is concerned. My baby girl is the culprit. I hardly drank coffee until I was pregnant with her. Of course before that I enjoyed hanging out at Coffee Bean with my friends and slurping their Ice Blendeds. I've since then switched to Starbucks by the way but that's another story. When I was pregnant with her I had this inexplicable craving for Caramel Frappuccino from Starbucks. I don't know why but everytime I see a Starbucks I must have it. Sometimes I would even go out of my way just so that I would SEE a Starbucks. So thus my coffee addiction began.

As if being groggy like a froggy wasn't enough, my only solace and comfort at work was not available! The server was down!! Oh my gawd .. I cannot access the INTERNET! How am I supposed to read other peoples' blogs?? My emails?? My online games?? Yahoo Auctions?? What if the seller posted a reply to my queries?? I kept on checking every 5 mins, yes every 5 mins I would click on the beloved blue icon but to no avail. I was ranting and raving. How could they do this to us? Why isn't the service provider doing SOMETHING about it? Why? Why? Well, found out later that it was a routine maintenence taking place. Silly people, can't they maintain it in the middle of the night when I'm NOT at work and have no use for the internet. Sheesh, these inconsiderate people! So that's my second addiction.

My third is reading people's blogs. I've found some really good ones that I keep going back to. Some of them I simply stumbled upon by chance. Some of them I go to because I am very LOYAL to my friends. There are a lot of great and funny writers out there. I don't even need to buy a book! Keep it up all you guys. What would I do without you .. hmm .. actually I think I would get more work done if I wasn't reading all those blogs! But I enjoy them so much!! So keep on writing guys! The world's a less boring and more honest place with you.
