*sigh* It's already 2 in the morning and I'm still awake. Been tossing and turning trying to put myself to sleep but it sure ain't working. So many things on my mind. So much drama. If it's not one thing, it's another. First I got sick. Fever, blocked nose, bad sore throat (which later turned into a cough, and made me have an asthma attack)...the works. Then I had to asked for an extension for two of my assignments because I couldn't finish them on time while I was sick. Then got the news on Tuesday that Grandmama had a stroke and was admitted to the hospital in Kuching. A day later, she had to have an operation on to drain the blood clot in her brain from a small capilary that burst. Come Thursday, Molly and Milo decided to help themselves to the medicine bottle left on the coffee table by accident and finish all 15 tablets of Valiums. Had to rush them to the vet to make them throw up everything. By the time I realized Molly had chewed up the plastic bottle with all the pills, I guess it was a little late because she was already walking funny (Valium is an anti-anxiety/muscle relaxant) and when they made her throw up, they couldn't find any fragments of the Valium. Must've all dissolved. Luckily, 197 dollars later and Molly spending the whole day at the vet, both Molly and Milo are fine. Nearly gave me a fucking heart attack driving at 80km/h (in a 50km/h residential zone) to the vet. Then this afternoon, I received a text message from dad saying Grandmama's condition was deteriorating and that we should be prepared. Half and hour later, she was gone. Now I have to book my flight back to Kuching as soon as the travel agency opens tomorrow so I can fly either on Monday or Tuesday. Also have to think of what to pack, what to buy and bring back for family, what to wear for the funeral, how Molly and Milo are going to cope without me around during the day etc. This is by far the most interesting week I've ever had. A rather sad one too.
