not funny

over msn last tuesday, sis dearest informed that father couldn't take the cold weather and has decided to return home. this news took me and mother completely off-guard and, as usual, mother started panicking.
mother almost had a nervous breakdown. turned out it was just a joke. it was so not funny ok. we were worried sick over here thinking that father was not well. another announcement like this, we won't believe it, even if it turns out to be true. remember the boy who called wolf?
taking the afternoon off today. going for a little pampering session and to have my baby checked out. can't to a software restore. the file just won't run. spent the whole week with some colleagues trying to do it. did the necessary backing-up. all movies, songs & pictures have been saved.
going to enjoy this weekend. will be the last free weekend. classes starts next week. have to go for a class on saturdays. really don't favour classes on a weekend but what to do.
