21st Feb..what a day & night

Managed to get out of bed with a list of chores to do..there's the laundry to be done and also to find out what happened to my clothes which i washed before Vegas. Horrors, it was still in the laundry room..not touched. It had to be washed again. And it was raining..so so cold. So poor Wei had to help me get the laundry done. For some magical reason, i checked in online not realising that the time for the flight was that night itself. Brain cells was bombed out with the medication, it didn't register that i had to start packing. Instead, told Wei my selection for lunch and then after that, was to get dressed to go and pickup whatever balance stuff i havent bought. Which incl the ginseng, balsimic vinegar, apricots, etc etc. So off we went to chinatown, in the freezing cold. Got the stuff and since i was the sick one, i had the honor to select what to eat. Decided to eat Malaysian becos i badly wanted soup. So had good old bak kut teh..funny eh...you go half way round the world and when you are sick, you think of the possible comfort food that will help. We were lucky, there was also yee sang..so we ordered a portion. My mind still not working, somehow, i got the chap goh meh to be the next night instead of 21st Feb. Bad bad decision, eh, trying to self medicate. Lesson No 1 and will forever be..dont try to be your own doctor. After dinner, we went to Costo warehouse to pickup the dried apricots, and the apple crisps plus Airbone...this perk up vits for travelers. Still had enough time, so off we went to Traders Joe to pickup the balsimic vinegar and the bing cherries in chocolate. Viola, the brain suddenly worked and i remembered having to go buy the hiking pole for my parents. Off we went to Target. They had a pair on offer..for below $30, one fitted with a compass and the other you cld add batteries. Ingenious. Feeling happy and satisfied, we headed home. Then the daunting task of packing. And the fear it wldnt all fit or it wld weigh too much. How come these thoughts don't come on when you are busy and happily shopping? Sigh...Finally managed to get it all together, incl deciding what to wear for going home, etc. Hit the bed after a very tiring exercise of packing. Got woken up by a dream..how come you are not on the flight heading home? Never thought of the dream message as such till the next day.
