Saturdays are for chores and errands. Sundays are for families and friends. There should be another day, like Monday, for self care. Like a whole day for you to recover your strength and sanity for the upcoming week.

Last night I cooked spaghetti and meatballs for my brother’s family here in my house after Twin I did our grocery shopping last Friday evening. Prior to that, my girls attended the “hangout” for high school kids at church and everyone was waiting for Twin A’s first public outing since being discharged from the hospital. She did well, considering they had to walk back from church to our house, together with their kuyas, because traffic was bad so I couldn’t pick them up in my car. It’s nice to have your male cousins protecting you. ❤️

Twin A looked very frail so no one wanted to bother her that much but she mistook it as snubbing, like no one wanted to do anything with her. She was so sad coming home. Twin I said, “why didn’t you tell me?! We thought you wanted to be left alone that’s why you chose to stay in a corner.” I told both of them to communicate better and to tell each other their needs, especially when the time comes when Twin A goes to school in a week’s time.

I also spoke with a high school classmate of mine after church service this afternoon and I hugged him and gave thanks for leading the prayer warriors all throughout our three-week ordeal. The church also sent their care/get well package to Twin A last Friday.

A fellow reporter and his wife sent Twin A also their get well gifts, drove all the way here (since they’re dropping off their niece, who is a freshman here).

All my close friends had been keeping tabs on us. Fairy gaymother K had been asking me every other day how we are. While we were n the hospital, he has been calling me and trying to keep me sane.

We are loved. ❤️

I took it easy today and just consumed leftovers or made instant stuff since I want to take a break from cooking. I should just have ordered Grab or Food Panda instead. 🤔 I just wanted to rest…

Ah yes, this power washer is part of my hardware/DIY store hauls last Friday. I had been planning to buy this for quite a while since I need this to clean my stairs, my carpets, and now our water tank. Need to drain and clean our tank every month, clean the tank walls with a clean mop and cleaning chemicals every 6 months, and with Clorox once a year.

I wonder if there are water tank cleaning service providers around here…oh there is! Will contact them tomorrow. *sigh* The headaches of homeownership.
