Cuddles, Laundry, an Old Friend, and More
Hello dear friends! How are you all? How's life these days when tension around the world s heightened?
I hope you are all safe and not displaced from your own homes. Life had been a little more difficult these days despite the inflation, another one is yet to come and crisis is overt the horizon but despite that, let's all hold on to the very least of hope and pray without ceasing.
Anyway, here are my activities on the new year of 2024.
Early in the morning at 6 am, I checked on my phone for the availability of the slots for online application on the Civil Service Exam and I am so blessed that there were slots available and that I successfully got one.
A morning Cuddle
A little later, my daughter woke up and we had cuddles, she was still sleepy but she does not want to go back to bed because I am not there, I totally understood my daughter, she's a very sweet girl and wanted to be with me always; I too wants to do this no matter how tired I get no matter I do not get to finish a chore nor feel sore on carrying her because I know she will eventually grow and that one day,I will not be able to hold her this way.We stayed cuddling for over half an hour resulting in me forgetting that I turned on the faucet and the water overflowed from our washing machine.
She was startled by my reaction when I remembered the water being on for over half of an hour, poor girl and I regretted my action, so she went to my mother's house while I prepared the laundry.
Someone dies everyday
Then I checked on the fish and d*mn, another one dead.
The fish were sick because of the cold weather, especially at dawn, we still did not have water heaters yet because we are still setting up and I am afraid of spending too much on the fish yet. that's my guess but don't fish adapt to the water temperature? I and my husband still had to know a lot about fish keeping.
Water heaters requires me to buy them and the electric consumption is still unknown.
Over the few months eh fish had arrived, my husband spent a lot in it already. Some of the fish failed to live, so I can't say it's worth spending on. Nothing has returned from what is spent yet.
Undone Laundry
When I added the soap to the spinning water in the washing machine, I realized that my husband didn't buy soap from the last payday. What's available was for three batches only, good thing I washed the uniforms first and so my garments for work are safe. The kid's clothes nad our house clothes are still waiting for me to do them.
But even though I still did not finish the laundry soap yet, I had to stop doing it because it rained in the afternoon and the pails we had are already full.
Our spin dryer motor was busted a few months ago and I am not still able to buy a new one for replacement. it would have been better if we still had a spin dryer because I can hang the indoors.
Visited by an Old Friend
Bored in the afternoon, I took out my yarn stash so I could de stash or something.
Then my sister yelled "Yoi, you have a visitor"
I and my husband wondered who could it be and then our old friend from high school appeared.
Boy, I miss this lady! I and my husband had been talking about her because if not for her, there would be probably no "US". She had been helping my husband become close to me way back in high school.
We have shared our ups and downs in life yet we had to live away from each other. Though far and we rarely communicate, we are still tied by heart.
Man, time flew by so fast, she arrived at 6 in the evening and we had some talks and we had dinner then the clock suddenly pointed at nine! My kids are having tantrums for being so sleepy, I usually put hem to sleep and too bad my friend had to go home because I still had to go to bed early so I could have some rest, wake up for the kids later in at dawn for milk and to get ready for another day at my workplace.
Fast forward to 2026, Noriel wet abroad to work but now tension has been all over the middle east, I am thinking about her and I hope she is safe. I hope tension will stop and peace will take over soon.
This will be all for now, keep safe and pray without ceasing
