The Time In Between

It's nice to be finally on a semester break :) For reasons too mundane to mention, i will be increasing my hours at the hospital and decreasing the hours at the poly come October.

This is thus a precious break for me. For the past month on those 2 free days every week, i've brought my mum to her medical appointments (not really good news there though but will just have to cross one bridge at a time), attended cell meetings, resumed reading sessions at school, caught up with my own readings, met up with a close buddy and celebrated National Day....

My close buddy YP is back from China for good :) When we met over lunch, we didn't reminiscence much (which is a good sign of our "youth" of course, lol) but shared a great deal of our current happenings. Am blessed with a friendship that goes such a long way back :)

i read a book on a mother's journey with a special needs child who later had brain injury as a result of a skateboard accident. The words below in the pix resonated in me...

i'm sorry i folded the library book and i took this pic in a moving bus :)

....So am i the daughter my mother needs? am i the wife my hubs needs? and am i the mother my boys need?  Tough questions there..

This National Day, we spent it with a family from church. Apart from baking in the sun for half an hour, it was a lively celebration throughout. But what i appreciate most was the convo i had with the 2 ladies there :)

Ok, slightly more than a month before i resume a heavier work load, so now is a good place to be :)
