Seriously, taking a few days off from work since last Thursday to have some time to help around with my dad's grand plan to celebrate my grandpa's 90th birthday bash is not all fun.
The word rest hardly has a meaning to it. There's been a lot of errands to do and chores to complete. The only two perks were: 1. I was able to squeeze some time to send my car to get a full wash, polish and vacuum; and 2. I get to finally go get a haircut.
The car smells so nice and fresh inside after that Nano Mist thing that I decided to splurge on. Of course, my mum is very happy at the moment because her nose is not reacting to the dust that was in my car and that the car interior does smell pretty good now.
Anyway, there were tons of food from the home cooked lunch to the big dinner do at Jade Palace last night. Lots of Rose wine and the Glenlivet single malt whiskey too. The booze... it was good stuff. The Rose wine was a little on the sweet side but not tremendously sweet, which of course is a good thing. The whisky was really nice for a 12 year old vintage.
Oh yeah, what about the part about not much rest? Errands, babysitting the little cousin Jolene (6-year old), helping out with food preparation, sending food, chauffeuring people around... ugh the list seems endless.
Am glad that is over with but I really do not look forward to going back to a ton of emails in my inbox at work tomorrow. Sigh...
