Chillaxing…
Well, not sure who I first heard use that term, but essentially, this is the first Sunday in weeks that I am not on call, nuh have nuh rass meeting fe attend, so man deh yah inna him boxers, a loaf. Woke up late…..8:30. Had a lazy cuppa Earl Grey tea while preparing a nice breakfast…fried sprats, some stir fried cabbage with okras, onion, tomato, scotch bonnett pepper and thyme, and some fried bambinis (mini bammies). Washed that down with some apple juice and it did its trick…..full belly and moved the gas. That should hol me until dinner….have a piece o beef seasoned that I going pot roast inna the dutchie, cook some seasoned rice and veggies, and a it dat. To some of you that may not sound like much of a way to chillax, but when I have nothing definite in the agenda for a Sunday, cooking doesn’t bother me at all. In fact, it is something that I do get some enjoyment from.
So what else is planned for the chillaxing day? Well, some sleep may well get squeezed in as the present weather dictates stay inside and get cozy…or even better….horizontal! 
Why so? Well, just in case you haven’t heard, Hurricane Ernesto is in the vicinity. But I not too worried for us here in Ja based on the track it seems to be taking since late yesterday. It a move kinda northward….perhaps it fraid o we…Stunner and Charles said they were doing anti-rain dances. I took a more yardie approach and tell it two good bumbocleat! I think we will be alright…..perhaps some heavy rains later, but I doubt that we will have any major blowjob. Right now, we nuh need none o dat a rass. In any case, the worse weather associated with the system is to its north, so we here on the southern part of Ja shoulda kriss.
At the moment, it is very still and becoming progressively overcast, so perhaps the precipitation will soon start, but like I mentioned earlier…..I think we arite. Hope my bredrin Mad Bull in Cayman will have similar luck. Think they will start having Ernesto visit on the morrows. Anyhow, the shystem is still in our ‘hood, so mek me nuh goat mout our country as these things can change course fast…..gwaan outta sea and romp Ernesto. Leave land alone….and nuh bodda gwaan over the Gulf and gain nuh strength….Florida and Louisiana don’t even waan hear the name blow…much less job.
So, you might have realized that I man been unda some serious work pressha these last weeks…..I tell you. This one in two duty is heavy…but in the same breath, the paycheque for the first month of it was pretty damn sweet. I will soon start making preparations in earnest to change the wheels. I don’t intend to start 2007 in the said cyar a rahtid. Anyhow, as I doh plan to spend the whola day in kitchen, I going log off and go put the pot roast pon the fiyah. You yarides stay dry and safe while the uninvited guest passes chru, and I wish all the bloggers in the near vicinity (MB in particular) lo mismo! Tek it easy and chillax yushelf…cause every little thing…gonna be arite!
August 27th, 2006 at 12:34 pm It was that young legal bombshell(based on the pictures on her site)I first heard the term chillax (chill and relax) from.
August 27th, 2006 at 1:20 pm Hope y’all get spared from much rain.Onanother note am always surprised at how heavy a Jcan breakfast is.Some of what my aunt served me while there could easily be lunch
August 27th, 2006 at 6:12 pm We’re too far inland in our part of Texas to worry about hurricanes (which means we are sadly too far from the beach). But when Katrina and Rita hit, everybody came running our way and it was a hurricane of another kind. Hope chillaxing can drip over into your work life and you can take it easier.
August 27th, 2006 at 7:21 pm Yes Gela, I think you are correct about the source of the word. Kami, it is now after 6 in the evening…not a drop of rain yet and no breeze to speak of here in my corner of the woods…seems we get off easy this time! BTW, is only on a Sunday that the breakfast at this house is that heavy. Perhaps because there is no lunch to speak of on Sunday here at my home….breakfast/brunch and dinner only. T Bone, thanks for the wishes about chillaxing at work…I doubt that will be the case though.
August 27th, 2006 at 11:42 pm Yow… I have touched down on the other rock. Good weather so far…
August 28th, 2006 at 6:13 pm Hope Ernesto dies before it hits any Caribbean islands or worse New Orleans. They still haven’t recovered from Katrina. Glad you got some time to chill.
August 28th, 2006 at 9:16 pm Ernesto has managed to drop some rain on us today, but it is weakening when last I heard.
August 29th, 2006 at 2:44 am Glad that you got a chance to hold a likkle rest
August 29th, 2006 at 9:41 am Dr. D, you’re one of the coolest, most chillaxed bloggers about. Your patients must love you
August 29th, 2006 at 11:11 am Hail up, Doc. Glad ta hear Ernesto didn’t ‘visit’ yard! Was unusually rainy in places like Martha’s Vineyard, Cape Cod, and in Wildwood (near Atlantic City) this past weekend, so maybe Ernesto just chose to spread himself thin & touch a lil bit o’ everywhere!
August 29th, 2006 at 2:06 pm I don’t know where I heard the word chillaxing, but i have been using it, especially now that I’m on vacation.
August 29th, 2006 at 8:04 pm Doc, seems you’re a good cook man. Yu married yet? Ah want ah man who can cook. Forget to mention it, felt hungry just reading your post. Kami, is so us Jamaicans greedy.
August 29th, 2006 at 8:14 pm No Gela, no ring pon finga yet. Perhaps we can arrange anodda blogger link up…this time you and me one!
August 30th, 2006 at 11:07 am Season rice eh?
August 30th, 2006 at 7:28 pm It’s good when you can rest and do the things you enjoy.
August 31st, 2006 at 7:54 am The shirts were delivered. I have been hearing chillax for a long time now, actually. I don’t think the young legal bombshell can claim it.
