News: Good and Bad

Good: 
Via knows who I am.  She has been calling me mama (although, it's probably done indiscriminately as of now).
Bad: 
Via knows that I will always carry her.  Whenever I'm around, she starts to cry and puts her arm up gesturing that she wants to be carried.

Good:  
I'm spending so much time with my Via.
Bad: 
I haven't spend enough time studying.

Good: 
I have been accepted for pre-residency to one of the hospitals I have applied to.  
Bad: 
I had to quit my AM and PM job today.  I just left some of my private clients.  I still don't know how I will handle them when the time comes that I have to start working 7 days a week in the hospital.

Good: 
Via is almost done with being sick.  She only has colds left (clear discharge ^_^ and no fever)
Bad:
I got her virus (is that possible?) and now I feel feverish and have a runny nose and sore throat (due to mouth breathing, most probably).

BAD:
The nanny wanted a time off for seven days.  In order to make sure she's intending to come back, I asked her to hire her own reliever for a week and she has to make her own arrangements with the reliever (about the payment).  I was going to pay her even in her absence so she is the one who's going to decide how much she will pay for the reliever.

Unfortunately, there is no reliever.  

The arrangement I came up was this: she takes her break inside the house but she's going to be off limits to my (or Via's) room.  Meaning, she is not going to do any baby sitter's work for 6 long days.  I'm going to be the one who's going to do all that.  It's fine with me if only I wasn't sick myself.  

By the way, we sent the yaya to the doctor today because she was complaining of dizziness (buntis kaya?) and so, arrived with the conclusion that she has to take a break.  

And so, there you go.
