I had absolute fun yesterday even though I was a snivelling, coughing, half-deaf mess. I have been struggling with a cold for the past 4 days and in some ways it has been quite annoying but there was a positive yesterday: I got the day off work : )
Anyway, I was saying I had so much fun yesterday. What did I do? Very simple, I took my four *cousiblings* to watch a movie. I hadn't done this in over a year and I noticed I was becoming one of those cousins who feel guilty about not spending time with younger members of their extended family and consequently spend a lot trying to pay them off. Basically, I started throwing money at them but not spending anytime to groom them or just be there or help them with their studies or University choices. All the very things I wanted to do but never had the time.
It was good cos they had ipods (read; headbangers) with them and we were all bumping in the car like teenagers, which three of them are, but which sadly I no longer qualify as by any stretch of imagination. The three teenagers went to see Hancock and I and the little one (who fancies himself as a big one) saw Narnia. It felt so nice being able to do that, and little cousin kept me awake (tol' you I'm old) with questions 'Waoh is that Anslan? I remember him' and me groggily replying ' You do. Wonderful!'
All in all, it just felt good, especially when they smothered me in kisses afterwards. I felt fulfilled. Unfortunately, I returned to work today.
