the little things i am blessed with

7:30am: the way Iggy's tail uncurls as the sleep leaves her eyes.
the way she cocks her head to the side, and bats her eyelids at me, snuggling closer into my hand for more manjas. the way her leg comes right back to kick my hand away as HRH has had enough petting for the morning and is ready for her morning routine now.
the love of my life = my green iguana!

8:00am: the luxury of standing under a hot shower, sponging to Marks+Spencer's' China Blue bath cream. the feel of my short hair as i condition. my toes curling up as i tell myself again that every minute after this is going to make me late! the rushing around my bedroom like a headless chook cos i can, and loving the drama of the rush... will i be late??!

12:30pm: lunch and the hot humid walk to the KLCC Suria for lunch at the Foodcourt, yet again. the familiarity of the chap-fan, and the need to eat my soft tofu, yet again... the conversation with my colleagues. the work dramas of the morning revealed and debated. the signing off mentally, as my mind creeps to what he is doing, and the secret smiles as i realize he is probably still fast asleep, and the sadness as i think he is so not dreaming about me.

5:00pm-5:30pm: just for the duration of this project, is pack up and go home time. the wonderment as i step into my apartment, all my work stressors parked at my front door as Iggy voicelessly acknowledges that i am home. her angry head-bobs if her friend senor sun has been absent for the day. her happy gentle hello head-bobbing if the sky is blue, and lined with those fluffy white clouds she just loves to watch. the wonderment i feel, that she may actually think i control the weather. the pujuk to eat her sawi time, followed fast with a hot shower and her entire pm routine.

6:30pm: Iggy's bedtime. the joy of knowing she is home with me, again, and here to stay stay stay. and that she is safely curled up under her cushions, and that in 13 hours.. it will be time to wake her up and start all over again. the fervent prayers in mind for a sunny day tomorrow and for Iggy to lick her bowl clean by devouring all her green veggies.

FACEBOOK TIME: the joy of being able to satisfy my insane obsession with my Zombie who is now at 1005 points! followed by my Vampire, Werewolf and Slayer! in between sterilizing Iggy's food bowls, bathroom, kitchen sink, and wiping down her cage. i bond with domesticity and the Internet! i wonder if i am dressed enough to walk over for a visit and dinner with aunty Jas.

8:00pm+: maybe i would have watched Saloni and then Bani twist painfully in their individual lives on the Zee serials. maybe i would have just flaked out catching the cyber waves and think i should just bond with Max and all the tiresome episodes over the week-end instead, in one mind-numbing fest. walking over to aunty Jas' i am feeling happy and content. tired and ready to hear about her day.

MY DAILY PHONE CALL: with Mom :) lifts me up to no end.

9:00pm+: heading home to flake on my couch. to sleep. or to watch some TV. 6:15am will be time to wake up and start the chants, soak the veggies, prepare HRH's daily feast all over again. so i typically opt to zzz and to away to dreams where i only get 11 chances and i win some, and i definitely lose some. subconsciously pondering my karma? hmmm... more like i am living my Facebook choices! in between dreaming about him, that is awake and not thinking about me at all.
