Roof is leaking again at the laundry area. Sent my landlady videos of the waterfalls happening at that back room. I hate it that whenever the monsoon season sets in, I’m never totally dry. I’m so done with renting old places.

Meanwhile, the government is starting to tighten restrictions again as the Delta variant has locally been transmitted. Fast. Some cases have come from OFWs coming home and no social distancing protocols practiced, especially during wakes.

Why can’t people understand that 1) traveling exposes you to so much pathogens that you should stay away from people for a long time and 2) in the process you are endangering a lot of people around you, multiplied by 8, as is the case with this Delta variant?

Soon we will be overwhelmed again just like in the first half of 2021. When will we ever learn?!

Because it had been raining nonstop for days, my girls are left with nothing to do so Twin I pestered me to teach her how to cook a side dish that she will feature during their Nutrition Week. (They started the school year two months earlier than public schools, which are scheduled to start by September). I thought of the easiest side dish I can think of: buttered mushrooms with garlic and bell peppers.

The world has shrunk for me again with this incessant rains. So I began digging again into the rabbit hole that is Youtube. And found myself watching hours of chiropractic videos.

And I was living vicariously through the patients. I must schedule an appointment with my chiropractor in Makati whom I haven’t seen in almost 10 years.

Right after giving birth to twins, my back ache was 9/10 as it turned out pregnancy worsened the S- curvature of my scoliosis. After the course of my treatment, the back pain was reduced to 1. And the pain on my hands disappeared.

Let me just get through next week and let’s see if I can make that trip to Makati.
