Wednesday

As a schoolchild I used to long for Wednesday. My theory was that weeks tended to slow to a lazy crawl Monday morning till Wednesday noon with a particularly torturous slow meander on Tuesdays at two pm, where I would usually drag myself through whatever I was doing because things were just so excruiciatingly slow. But once you hit midday on a Wednesday it was whoopdiddy whoopee till Friday after school, by far the best part of the week. This week however has sped by amazingly, with very little regard for the particular day.

This week, time is speeding on a freeway and it has not bothered even to pause to consider the day. Maybe it was Studio 60. I'm thankful for the speed though, because T is overseas, and time does tend to get everlasting when he's not around, at least ordinarily. Maybe it had to do with the Rice Pannings and the fun visit we had. But also because Cam is here from Hong Kong, and the usual flurry of socials that whirl up around her has taken place. Monday, after popping in to see the kids, I went for drinks at the Fs, browsing through C's collection (I bought a dress and a top), and then late supper at Que Pasa - love those burgers. Last night I had work to do and T was due to pop in en route from Jakarta to KL. But today, by sheer texting power, managed to wangle the kiddies a playdate with S and the E kids. Drove the whole caboodle including M to the East, and had a great cocktail hour as well. At home now, I'm keeping company with the American idols while doing the puttering for tomorrow. Also I wait for T's call. Tomorrow work stuff...and meetings. Battling a bit of a scratchy throat, but hey, can't stop now...
