TGIF...or TGI almost Saturday

Holy cow has it been a couple of crazy weeks. I'm not sure what about the past two weeks has exhausted me so much but I'm so ready for this weekend. I just finished the last of my teleconferences for the day (yes, it is after 11:30 pm on a Friday night) and am surfing the net a bit before heading to bed. I am going to try to avoid working at all this weekend but may have to squeeze some in...

Today on the way home from work I got caught out in a horrible thunderstorm. The kind where the thunder makes you jump because it is right on top of you. I had my umbrella with me but it didn't do me too much good since it seemed to be raining from every possible angle. I was headed home anyway so got wet and just changed immediately when I got home.

I also had a fun trip to the post office. I had to mail a couple of letters and packages and was also able to switch out my soon to be expiring bus/MRT pass. I had the sweetest woman helping me. The box I sent to my nephew needed some extra paperwork because it was bigger than the others. In typical Singapore efficiency, she figured out the cost of the postage and then had me step aside to complete the paperwork so she could wait on another customer. It took a little longer than I had originally planned but I am not one to complain about hanging out at the post office.

After the post office I took a trip to the grocery store. After throwing out the food in my fridge that was trying to multiply, I realized I seriously had no food. For some reason today I was drawn to a bunch of new items. I actually spent some time browsing and picked some of them up. I am trying some rice wrappers - essentially tortillas made from rice instead of flour or corn. Oh, and they are square instead of round. Also picked up some new noodles - the variety here is huge!

Am off now for what I hope will be a good night of sleep.
