Random Thoughts of a Lioness

The reward of conformity was that everyone liked you, except yourself.

Playing nurse

My Lil Cub had his first fever two days ago. We came back from his nursery and he was feeling a bit warm. He did the nasty (our codename for vomit) on me on our way up and was quiet all the way. I had time to pray and sterilised all his feeding equipment before I changed him. And all these without a word from him. Took his temperature - it was a whopping 39.2 degrees! Put on my jeans and took him straight to the clinic while sponging him in the car. At the clinic his temp went higher - it only went down 45 mins later after his meds kicked in.

The night saw me waking up almost every hour checking up on him. I even had a nightmare about him being sick. But the best experience is waiting for him to wee wee. Since the kind doctor needed a urine sample, we had to collect it early in the morning. We waited one whole hour to get him to do his business! And he was actually giggled at us when we sighed relief!

Lil Cub is better today. I left him in the hands of his adoring fans(ie Daddy's & SIL's maids) under the supervision of Jiji. Plus, his cousins are around to look after him. Can't wait to go back and see him.

On another note - work is getting rather hectic nowadays. I hardly have time to do anything else, even during lunch. My only quiet moment is during my milk expressing sessions..of which I do in the filing room..hahahah! I managed to get out of travelling to East Malaysia, thanks to my superior who thinks that I should be with Lil Cub since he is recovering. Plus, Buster will be travelling again next week, this time to Jedd@h for 5 days *sigh*. Lucky this time, but I guess it won't be for long.

Well, it's half past five. Time to go back to my darling.
