One Tiring Day

04-07-2010 Friday

>8 hour graveyard shift
>>3 hour MS Excel Training Level 2
>>>Alex picking me up after the training
>>>>Doctor's appointment

I'm trying to avoid hectic schedules such as this one, especially when it's not my day off. It consumes time and lots of effort if you add the fact that summer is so damn hot that being outside for only a few minutes is enough to make you feel like you're being roasted alive, it's THAT hot here these days, I swear I miss the stormy weather.

Everything's planned and I have no choice but to comply to this given schedule, besides I'm the one who signed up for the Excel training, it just so happened that the doctor's appointment is also scheduled today. Oh well, at least I have Alex to accompany me throughout this crazy schedule.

The 3 hour training on Microsoft Excel gave my brain cells a big whack, matter of fact, after the training, I seriously felt my forehead throbbing, it's like my brain has been overloaded with informations. I did attend level 1 training, and this level 2 is many notches harder than the 1st level but I am eager to learn and besides, this will also look good in my resume when I try to apply for something else which is something I'm planning to do sooner after I took care of some personal priorities.

The training ended a few minutes after 9 in the morning and I rushed to the Ground floor, eager to see Alex since it has been awhile since he last pick me up from work. It reminded me of the times before when we still have the good 'ol red Alpha and he would always pick me up in the afternoon, eventhough it was always hot during the ride home, I still miss the feeling of holding on to his warmth as we speed away. Sorry, I know some cheesy part should be edited.

It was so irritating to think that even at 10:00 in the freaking morning, the sun is so high up that I was sweating my ass off as I ride behind him in his Mio motorcycle. He went completely out of our usual way to avoid checkpoints since his motorcycle is not yet registered. I'm fine with it, as long as I stay with him. Aside from going out of the way, he kept on stopping on every motorcycle shop, chatting with mechanics while I stayed on the motorcycle, feeling like I was gonna hyperventilate from too much heat at any second.

I let him do his thing, waiting patiently, until we stopped in a certain shop and a mechanic handed him a pair of side mirror and I watched quietly as they attached those on his Mio. After they were done, he asked me if I'm okay and he said we can go home now, I breathed a sigh of relief and clung to him.

We arrived at the house at around 12 in the afternoon. Great, I have 2 hours to get some sleep before we go to the doctor at 2:00. We had lunch, I brushed my teeth and washed my face. Alex cleaned his beloved black Mio, he's so vain about his motorcycle, that I sometimes roll my eyes at how he takes care of it like a baby. Well, pretty soon, he'll be taking care of a real one.

I lie on the bed and asked him to lie down beside me once he's done and I'll just set the alarm at 2:00 so we can go to the doctor. I was half asleep when I felt him beside me, I wanted to hug him but it was a goddamn hot afternoon and I felt sticky with sweat so I settled with holding on to his arm and went back to sleep.

The alarm buzzed at exactly 2 and I woke up feeling lightheaded, well I have a 2 hour sleep what do you expect? We went to the hospital and the busy doctor is not yet around, she wouldn't be around till 4. We have no choice but wait since I don't have any other time to reschedule the appointment.

Alex was impatient but I appreciate him coming with me. I see his concern again and I can feel that things are starting to come back to normal, only one thing's missing and I'm still praying for that. I was called at around 6:30 and we were home at around 7pm, exhausted and hungry.

I thought he's not gonna stay for the night but I was glad when I saw him park his motorcycle inside the gate then, he went inside the house, took his shirt off and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

I wanted to stay up all night and talk to him since he was making jokes and we were laughing while watching TV on the bed but I was too consumed for the day that's why I didn't notice that I've fallen asleep while he was talking. He knew I was tired so he didn't bother waking me up, off to dreamland I went and in my sub conscious mind, I felt him slip his arm around my waist. Sweet dreams. Remind me to edit the cheesy parts again. Lull-a-bye for now.
