Running around and waiting around

Hi Honey!  You're so beautiful.  I wish I were with you right now.  How was your day today?  How was work?  You are probably looking forward to working, because work for you is so much fun nowadays.  That's what you get for being a Rock and Roll Queen.  Please keep yourself safe and clean.  You need to stay sharp when the world is your oyster.  It's been a lot of commute for me this week.  Today I had to visit the taxman, schedule an appointment with the eye specialist for my Dad, and go to the market.  I went to the taxman first, and when I got there I realized I had forgotten my smartphone!  Well I use a Nokia brick for a phone anyway, and I use my smartphone as a pocket computer, which I would need for playing games while I wait along with the crowd.  And there was a big crowd there, mostly people coming early to wait for them to open.  So I went all the way home to get my pocket pc, then decided to go to the hospital instead.  And there was a huge crowd there too, but the nurse kept my Dad's medical card and told me to come back for it later because it was too crowded at the time.  So I went to the market to get fixings for the fried flat noodles with cockles which was on the menu for dinner.  I got that, then went back to the taxman and the crowd had thinned out so I didn't have to wait long.  I didn't get a chance to play one game!

I was looking forward to dinner, because I had had a craving for fried flat noodles with cockles (called "keow teow kerang" locally).  It didn't turn out to be a masterpiece, but it's hard to make a masterpiece out of a standard dish- it's supposed to taste average!  It has a set formula, and if I didn't follow the formula then it wouldn't taste as it was supposed to, which tastes like a standard local delicacy.  Does that make sense?  Anyway, I didn't take any snapshots.  I did put extra garlic, though.  My cat refused to kiss me.  You wanna try some?  What, no kiss?
