Miffed or…?
March 17, 2007 |
Yesterday I committed the ultimate sin. I did not send my usual morning SMS message, and the lunchtime one never got there until late in the evening.
Well, to my deffence, my alarm clock lost the struggle to wake me up last yesterday. I had been out and had a few drinks with my boss, and unfortunately my favourite is Vodka and Red Bull. So when I finally stumbled into bed, I could not sleep.
So I surfed the net a bit, did a half hour of the Pimsleur Thai language course, watched Jurassic Park III on HBO, tried to read a little bit…and thought about me and Nan a lot. And about 5 in the morning I passed out on the sofa. My alarm clock did not stand a chance when it went off at 7am.
I did manage to drag myself into a semi-conscious state about 15 minutes before I was supposed to sit behind my desk. It’s only a 5 minute drive to the office, so I had time for a 30 second shower, get dressed and then drive to work. It was going to be a fantastic day…right!
The phone was ringing constantly, this and that had broken down and needed fixing, and I pitty the telemarketer who rang me. I cant recall exactly what I said, but it was not very polite.
At 5 it was finally time to get myself home. I Microwaved some spaghetti from the day before, and swallowed it with some Coke to help it down. Then it was time to call Nan.
She did not sound like her usual cheerful self. The first question after “How are you Teerak?”, was “Why you not send me SMS today?”. I slapped my head. I had forgotten the morning SMS. But I was sure I fired off one after lunch sometime. So I tried to explain, but she sounded pretty cool in her responses…for about 5 seconds. Then she started giggling and the world was right again!
She likes to wind me up a bit this one, but she can never hold a straight face for more than 10 seconds when she is doing it. I would have caught on if we had been in the same room. Her voice goes all serious, and her smile vanish. But if you look at her eyes, they are alive. And then she completely loses it and breaks down in fits of giggles. Especially if she can manage to keep a straight face long enough for me not to detect what she is on about.
This morning I overslept again, but I managed to fire off an SMS before I hurled myself into the shower to wake up. Funny how they manage to tame you!

I am beginning to think that you enjoy being tamed, Will. Plus is that a little pic of you and Nan as your avatar? All 15 mm of her look very cute…..
She IS cute. And you should see the look on her face when she tries to riddle me up. This one is not waiting around for Sanuk. If she does not have it, she makes her own.
And yup thats her in the avatar.
