Q: Boy, you better get used to African timing...

Been sleeping on my tummy since the injection, and it was helping me get through the night better. My left arm felt sore, as though I played badminton for five hours straight the day before. Bah, on top of that, I’ve gotten my first injury while at work today. My kid hit me on the face, and then proceeded to scratching at my forearm.  I was simply glad that the wound wasn’t deep for it to be reported or anything. Many of my colleagues went “aww…that’s for the initiation ceremony! Congrats!” Meh, at least I can still walk out of the unit, feeling awesome with this new battle scar of mine.

And so, there was a reason to celebrate the beginning of semester. I went for McDonalds for dinner. Say what, you may have gone one second ago. Fast food ain’t the best meal out there, but boy, the McRibs was simply succulent yesterday. It was way better than the ones I had in Kalamazoo for some reason. Strange eh? Besides, it was near to the Hippodrome Theatre. Why, I scored tickets to the Beauty and the Beast musical at 7.30pm (cost $42 per person but worth every dime). Three others (PF, HJ & SarahH) joined in on this enchanting night, and we had a wonderful time. If I have to summarize this musical, it paralleled that of the Disney cartoon film version, but extended further with more songs and scenes. So you can expect a lot of familiar tunes and characters on stage for you to sing and dance to.

Last night’s musical was special for two more reasons; one, a marriage proposal took place during the intermission, and two, Ann the usher was a pleasant old lady whom I had the pleasure to talk to. Might consider going back there for another musical just to speak to her again. Who knows really?

Ah returning home felt so good, until I collected my textbook from the mail boy. Twas a reminder that classes are starting in the coming week. Boohoo.

To be human again,
