OK, the reason for my lethargic episodes was due to stress.

And I have been stressed for quite some time now.  I thought I had a good hand on it, but I guess I didn't.  I mean, I still zoned out at work, didn't I?  Now I need to figure something out.

I was talking to my mom yesterday and I told her that I am getting bored with my current job and that having a full time job ain't really all that.  I mean, I was happier when I was a part-timer (even though I lacked some of the full-timer perks) because I started at 10am and was outta the office by 3pm!  Now I'm stuck in the office from 8:30am until 5pm; by the time I leave the office the only places open were malls on weekdays!  And certain banks are open late on certain days only, especially my bank, so how can I possibly run my errands?

And if I have to run errands during my 1 hour lunch break, I doubt I'll have enough time to do whatever I needed to do, grab something to eat and be back in the office before my lunch break was over!

Today was my first day back at work.  It was...well, let's just say that my body wasn't really 100% for going back to work just yet and OMG, I kept on passing/zoning out at work!

REALLY embarrassing!

I was called in to the boss's office again and I was given the rest of the day to take off and rest 'coz she was worried about me.  I did my job but it took me forever to finish what I was doing.

Man, my body was just so damn tired that...well, I was given permission to take tomorrow off, and I think I will take my boss's offer up.  I mean, I thought Monday and Tuesday this week I'd be able to kick back, relax and prepare myself for work today, but nooooooooooooooo.  I was busy both Monday and Tuesday that really I hardly had time to sit back and relax!!!

I did manage to catch up on some Z's though, but I can't really take full advantage of it.  I didn't want to go to my room because I didn't really want to sleep the rest of the day off.  For some reason my parents gets annoyed whenever I sleep.  I told my mother I was tired.  I even told my father that I was sent home from work because I kept on passing out.

And you know what he said that really ticked me off?

He said I needed to find another job that will keep me active!  Like, WTF?  I was active at work.  I had to take phone calls and deal with people.

I was just tired.

I know what was wrong with me.

TIRED.

Do they believe me?

I don't think so!

They probably think I'm kidding or something.  Well I am not.  Finally when Mom asked me what was wrong with me I told her I was physically, emotionally and mentally tired.  There, that oughta tell her exactly how exhausted I was!

It was just nice and sunny earlier today, then by 8pm the weather changed.  It became overcast; the clouds turned grey and the wind started to pick up.  It was really trippy.  Of course I didn't mind; I was in my room channel surfing and left my bedroom window open.  I figured it was just the norm; the wind picking up because the sun would be setting soon, yadi-yadi-yada.

I ignored the weather change until I realized that the wind was REALLY picking up.  It was whipping everything around just making a complete nuisance of itself.  Now my bedroom (our house is a bungalow, just to give you an idea) faces the front of the house, and when I looked out the window the sky was a mixture of grey and somewhat sunny blue skies complete with the sun shining, but the wind was still picking up.  When I left my room and went to the kitchen, it was dark and grey and then I heard the sound of rain falling.

I quickly rushed to open our backdoor and whoa!  I was surprised to see exactly how strong the wind was accompanied by rain.  And the next thing I knew, it wasn't rain-rain, but HALE rain falling! -LoL-

here's the view from our BACKYARD at the beginning of the storm...

Now while I was marvelling at the scene unfolding before me from our backyard, I was curious to find out what was happening on our front yard coz when I looked over my shoulder to check the living room, it was somewhat sunny, so I made my way to the living and took a peek outside our front window.

now check out our FRONTYARD and my poor baby being pelted...

I mean, sure it was raining like cats and dogs outside (and my poor baby was being pelted by hale!!!!), but the fact that if you look at the sky it was a mixture of grey and blue and the sun was still shining!!!!  I suspected it to not have any sun at all but just complete GREYNESS, but I was wrong.

The hale storm didn't last long.  It was over before the clock struck 9:00 p.m.

here's another view of our BACKYARD just as the storm was
starting to trickle down...and check out the RAINBOW!

But just look at the amount of hale that was accumulated during its 5-10 minute shower?  And the best part?  I saw a rainbow from across our backyard!!!   And when I looked at my nephew's toddler slide toy, I was surprised at the amount of hale that fell! -LoL- Really, it took me by surprise this hale storm since there was no indication that we would have hale in the forecast.  Sure rain was mentioned, but hale?  Nope. No siree.

 << see those whie stuff on the ledge there? those are hale rocks -LoL-

 << pretty rainbow after the freaky storm...

And you think my life is pretty dull?  Heck, I'm just glad when this happened I was off from work to witness it! -LoL- But then again, since this freak storm happened after regular office hours, whether I am on holidays or not, I still would've seen it! -LoL-
