the curious case of the pink vibrator

 Strange things happened in such a short period of time but yet, they entertain me ever so...........

For example......the title itself........I'd rather not talk about it........

On Friday night as I was forcing myself to get some sleep to get us ready for the event on Saturday, a friend of mine texted me multiple text messages. Hearing so many chimes from my cellphone charging on the chest of drawers, I got up and looked to see if it was any form of emergency. 

She wrote "I am sorry to hear about your mother......"

My reply was "What happened to my mum?"

It turned out that someone in Taman Tun who also went by the same name as my mother who also happened to live on the same road as my mother was reported to have been diagnosed with Covid.

I called my mom and my dad picked up. It was around 11:30pm at the time. My dad asked what was up because my mom was praying. I asked him if she was alright and told me what my friend told me. He laughed and said "Oh yeah.....about that. She's been getting calls all day about it......she's fine......."

So I cleared it up for my friend whom apparently got the information from her aunt who lives in Taman Tun.

On Saturday morning, we had to get up early because we were scheduled for the second dose of vaccination. Prior to that, we told Yusuf to pray that Shu and I make it through safely. It's actually a prayer I say everytime I have to leave the kids. He got sensitive and worried so he prayed and prayed for us.

The vaccination went on very quickly. Our appointment was at 10:30am but we decided to head in at about 10:15am-ish. There was a quick briefing and then we queued for our turn. The guy at the first counter asked if I got myself tested in the last 24 hours. I did. Apparently, he said that I should have done the swab test instead of the spit test because it is more accurate. That wasn't good information to find out right before getting the shot. It was a negative anyways but I took the chance to get the shot done and over with because I refuse to have to schedule for another appointment.

Due to some clothing complication with one of the ladies before Shu, I was asked to get my shot first. We were done by 10:27am. Shu had the time to video call Ali Imran's teachers for his year-end school review before getting our numbers called to complete the waiting period and sign off as completed.

We received our completed digital certificates at 10:32am. We headed out and got some coffee and food before driving home.

We got home.Took our clothes off and washed them and showered before heading over to Shu's sister's house to get the kids. We are currently trying to ground ourselves indoors for the next 14 days. 

I did not get a fever. I was tired yesterday so I slept early but I got up this morning and felt fine so I decided to workout because I've skipped 2 days. It wasn't super important but I had energy from all the food I have been consuming the day before since I got super hungry and decided to ditch my diet. I didn't do a full on high intensity workout routine (although all my routines are high intensity). I did the routine with minimal intensity just to get back on track.

So far, I am ok. Shu is ok too.
