ULOG #1 - TGIF! The Weekend Is Here

I couldn't sleep and I thought that I would take a stab at writing a ULOG. I have been hearing about it for a while now and have been wondering what it was. Finally I made some time to go read up and realised that it was a log of YOU (in this case me) and it's the journaling equivalent.

This week has been a flurry of activities for my little Chapati. I gather because it might be the last week of kindy before the school holidays start and the Hari Raya celebration next week. Which reminds me, I really need to check his school schedule! 😱He had a flower arrangement activity where I had to go hunt for the materials, then a trip to a Batik Factory and finally a whole day of water play today to end the school semester with a BIG SPLASH! He is only 4 years old mind you but his days seem a lot more interesting than mine!

For me, on the other hand, was more than a little different. I started the week with news that my new office renovation could not start. I found out that my landlord owed the building, management fees of RM70K. When he was told about the outstanding, he said that he wasn't aware of it and was wanting a statement as he disputes the amount, whilst I heard from the other party that he had refused to pay and they could not contact him at all. It left me with a bitter taste in my mouth wondering what did I get myself into? It is going to cost about RM350K to renovate and move everyone to the new space and on top of that, our current space needs to be restored to its original state and will probably cost another RM20-30K? What about moving cost? What was worst is that our current lease is running out! After all the chasing, I still don't have a definitive answer to when all this will be resolved. NEXT? Legal action probably if nothing happens by next week. I have been asking myself what does this have to do with me? The landlord owes the building money and I am the monkey stuck in between "paying" for it? They should just sue his a$$ off for the money and let me get on with my renovation. Right?

Lately, I haven't been at my best health either. I am currently the heaviest that I have ever been even compared to post pregnancy! I feel sluggish and tired. Lack of sleep probably doesn't help either. But I have been having nagging aches and pain everywhere. Neck, shoulders, wrists, hands....calf you name it. After a night sleep, I would wake up even more tired than the day before and it all culminated today when I realised that I had a nagging throbbing headache just between my eyes and it extended all the way to the top of my head whilst I was SLEEPING! I woke up because of the pain... Panadol to the rescue. Even my work staff was wary of my mood. The weather in the office seemed to be "thunderstorming" according to some who cared to ask if I was ok today. ⛈ 🙅🏻

Then finally, I attempted my Sndbox Cohort 2 application today and was filling it halfway, when my brain and hand didn't connect. Guess what? I accidentally clicked the "X" and closed the tab! 😱 😵 I was already 70% done... Yup, I was miffed!

However, the week had it bright spots too. Isn't it always annoying because you always remember the bad stuff first? Anyway, here I am sipping an avocado smoothie and writing when I should be sleeping! Maybe I will leave the good stuff for another time and hit the sack. First, lemme go feed my damn mouse to the rubbish bin... Behold!The cursor has a life of its own! I am just glad that the weekend has arrived!

Oh, oh course, I was on discord. I hung out with some wonderful Mamas who kept me sane, chilled out at the bar drinking shots of whisky and pineapple beer, cleaned out some post promo channels,....etc. Yeah, I know you shouldn't mix, but who cares right? Digital alcohol doesn't quite have the same bite. Then I thought that I would write this before I call it a day. If you are a Mama please do come and join us. We really are nice people and generally quite happy but we do have our days and if you do too, you are going to love it there! We are growing fast and the community has a lot of really awesome plans and initiatives. Click on the banner below and join @steemitmamas

I’m sure it felt good to write all of this out and kind of vent while typing. Although I still think you should have went straight to bed with that headache ;D

Great first Ulog sweet friend ~ ❤️

@crosheille Hahaha ever the practical Mama and I agree with you. Just couldn't sleep and I would have been tossing and turning in bed. Hence the ulog! 😍😘

😅😅😅😘 I have those sleepless nights too sometimes!

Sorry to hear you are facing all the problems from all areas, hopefully after a good chilling on weekend it will turn to the good side, cheers!! :D

@roselifecoach Thank you Rose, yes the weekend always enable time to rest and relax unfortunately will still have to deal with all of this when Monday comes! Talk about Monday blues! 🙄But nevertheless, I am very grateful for the days off, it helps to put some things back into perspective especially tough times.

I hope you will have a very good rest on this long Raya holidays!!

Sounds like you have it all going on at the moment, all these problems with moving and the landlord must be frustrating and draining for you. Hopefully it will be resolved soon so you can get where you need to be.

Your 4 year old sounds like he does more activities then I do! Exciting fun days for him. Sorry to hear you are not feeling so well, all the pressure with work can not help - and to be honest I struggle balancing my work, home life and here - if we are not careful we drain ourselves doing so much every waking moment.

Thank you so much for the Witness vote, I really appreciate that - it makes a big difference hopefully I can show you it was wisely used :-)

Oi, better rest up more. The pounding headache and bodyaches are telling you to catch up on your sleep and relax more. Have a blessed restful weekend!

Lets do that. Need pricelist for big bottle of SB and SB for Kids too. Don't try dunno. ;) Talk soon. <3

Nice first ulog! I also went to look for what a ulog is and couldn’t find it on google haha.. I end up finding the explanation on someone else’s ulog..
Aw no so many pains! Have you been to the dr to check them out and get some targeted pain relief and make sure they’re not unusual pains?
Hope you feel better now and it was just a once off!

Haha and so many strange terms in Malaysia .. is Chapati the name of your child or a pet name haha

@vincy Hahahah for a moment there, it seemed like you were asking me to get targeted pain instead of pain everywhere! 😂😂 But i get you, as in find the source of the problem right? Thanks for reading my ulog! You should try it.

haha yeh sorry for my bad grammar

I mean like find out the problem and the dr giving you some medication that helps the pain... hahaha

Your first ulog!!!

Better days ahead and great health, dear @khimgoh!! You have worked so hard. Favours for you and open doors for you, from now onwards! Bless you 💕

@happycrazycon Thank you for the kind words and blesssing. Open heaven, open heaven!!
