My morning stimulus came from hubby who is off to his annual physical check-up in the evening till tomorrow. He will be spending the night in Asian Hospital after work. He came down for breakfast with his bag while I was giving the puppies a sponge bath. He requested my helper to get a plastic bag for him. He took his upstairs slippers and put it inside the bag. With a stern tone, I asked him why he is bringing his upstairs slippers to the hospital. He said that the hospital is not just any hospital but is a clean one..... Eyeroll....... Huh!!!!???? I told him it is a hospital. FCOL Just when is a hospital clean!!!!???? Aren't sick people and those like him who are likely to be pierced for blood, tested for secretions and other body fluids not to mention waste matter the ones who go to the hospital. After the initial shock, more eyerolls......... Does he realize where all those infectious trash are coming from? Pictures of bacteria, viruses, protozoa, amoeba are alternating in my head. Please refresh on MY OCness. A look at Sarcasm Justified will further aid in understand my personality type. He even had the gall to tell me that he brought the same slippers to the beach in the past. I was not sure if he was trying to irk me more. I didn't say a word anymore but let him sense my irritation.

I continued cleaning up the puppies. He went upstairs and then came down. As if yielding to the Higher Authority of the Hygiene Department without wanting to admit it, he removed his upstairs slippers from the plastic bag replacing it with a new pair while remarking that he'll just bring a new pair of slippers. Good enough I thought but it would have been better if he brought the old slippers and use the new pair when he returns. Never mind......All's well that end's well.

Hubby went to the office shortly. A little later, my son was fetched by the school bus. Contented with my victory, I prepared for work after going about my usual tasks delegating the rest to my helpers.

I left earlier than usual and rode a grey van. The traffic was light and I was in Makati in no time. It's amazing what a few minutes of being able to leave early can do to my travel time. Had I left 10 minutes later, my travel time would have doubled. Being early afforded me some chance to enjoy the scenery with the urban air blowing on my face as I walk to get my final ride to the office.

PS: Kaarawan ngayon ng isang kaibigan ko sa dating pinagtuturuang eskwelahan. Apat kaming magkakaibigan dito. Iba-iba na ang mga tanggapan at eskwelahang pinapasukan namin pero nagkikita pa rin kami buwan buwan na parang tradisyon na namin. Ang mga kaarawan ay mga petsang di pwedeng di magkita-kita. Di naman sa araw mismo ng kaarawan. Dun sa weekend na pinakamalapit. Masaya lagi ang mga pagkikitang ito na ginagawa sa mga restoran sa lugar namin. Kung di kami naguusap ng buhay-buhay, kami ay nagpapalitan ng kuro-kuro sa iba't ibang bagay na madalas ay nauuwi sa tawanan. Magkakalapit kami ng bahay kaya madali lang magkita kita. Nitong darating na Sabado ay itinakda ng kaibigan namin na pagkikita namin. Naghihintay pa ng kasagutan sa iba. Ako ay umayon na. Mich and Anna di pa kayo sumasagot.

Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday Carol!
