Today is much better. Twin A slept through the night and the pain is lesser today. She still feels bloated after every meal though, but the pain is no longer that intolerable.

After preparing breakfast, I went back to bed to sleep for two hours before working.

I was no longer the only editor today so I only did a few edits. However, procastination got the better of me and all my good intentions flew out the window. I was supposed to bring my daughter to our local pediatrician to check her uric acid but house work and a few edits bogged me down.

I must do it tomorrow.

My younger sister went here to get muffins because I need to decongest my fridge. I have so much food that much of it go past the expiration date. So to avoid that, I’m giving away food

When she got here, she remarked, you haven’t gone out of your house, have you?

“Ah well, yes. Everything I need is here and besides, my work keeps me strapped to my desk,” I replied. Watching over Twin A is also a full-time job; I needed to administer medicines that she needs to take at different times throughout the day. I do periodic checks for tummy aches and other issues that may crop up. I also also supervise her temporary homeschooling.

While I surveyed my living/dining area after sweeping the floor tonight, I realized that we really don’t need that much space as long as we have ample storage. Our apartment in QC is bigger than my house but that one was inefficient in terms of storage and layout. We also don’t use the sala that much; it was only used when Ate C watched TV. My girls and I don’t watch TV.

My older sister lived here for three weeks to watch over Twin I while we were in the hospital. She told me that my house is like a condo in Metro Manila when it comes to size but it was cozy and it’s like living in a bubble. She had a world of her own here, far removed from the house next door. She had no idea what was going on in the other house if not for our chat group. And she also didn’t come out of the house because all she needed were here. It’s also peaceful.

What else would I need?
