Weekends are for shopping and chores

Brought my kids to SM Mall of Asia yesterday after L’s interment because that’s where their dad was going to pick them up. They spent the night at our old house and they’re supposed to watch Superman today.

Since we’re already at SM, we shopped for their underwear (tops and bottoms) and socks as the new school year will start on the 21st. That’s the last on my new school year shopping list. The girls did their own shopping for school supplies in our town and we’re done with school books as well.

It wasn’t that long ago that I was buying them baby clothes in SM. Now I’m buying them bras and women’s panties—no longer the cutesie kiddie ones. 🥹

The nights are long but the years are short.

That saying is so true.

Bought some stuff at Ikea like a new wall clock since our 20-year-old one just died on me.

Twin I asked for fairy lights for her top bunkbed while Twin asked for a reading light for her bed. So off we went to Ikea. Meanwhile, I indulged myself with a new desk lamp because our house is dark even in daytime.

And now, the empty wall clock box is claimed by my obnoxious cat.

Sushi, on the other hand, is on her printer.

Since my kids are not at home, I drove my mom to S&R in Sto. Tomas, Batangas instead of Sta. Rosa, Laguna (because Sta. Rosa is clogged on weekends) to do her bulk shopping for their household. When I say bulk, that’s the American definition of bulk shopping; we’re talking of boxes of canned goods, large packs of bathroom tissue rolls, seversl huge jugs of bleach, cleaners, etc. Looks like these are a year’s supply of stuff but they go through all these quite fast so these are just good for a month or two for them. 😬

Since I’m already up and about, I decided to have my car washed as well. I felt a little pang, remembering my old car, Wendy.

I am regretting my decision to get a black car. My kei car before was white and I thought having a white car was horrible. But nooooo, a black one is worse. I should have stuck with silver. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I just want a weekend dedicated to bed rotting. 🫠 When can I have that?
