I’m running out of time trying to finish a long piece before the whole of Asia goes on holiday for the Lunar New Year. People in Hong Kong and Malaysia will be slowing down tomorrow and everyone will be off the entire week next week.
I haven’t been really productive as I should have been because I’m always sleepy during the day. I woke up at 5 am today after sleeping at around past 3 am to cook breakfast. Ate C was sick after getting her booster shot so I had to take over.
Slept at 6 am again then got woken up at 7 because the cats kept opening my door (since it’s broken, it had no resistance). I desperately wanted a quick shuteye so I threw out the cats, stuck something to my door so they can’t push it, and slept. But work beckoned at 9 am. 😕
Enough is enough. I went to SM Marikina this evening to buy a barrel lock, some door handles, wood glue and other stuff.
That should keep out the cats. I’ll solve the ugliness later.
During the small hours that I’m awake, I try to make myself fall asleep by thinking of projects I must do. One of those times I thought about removing my piano setup near the stairs and replace it with some drawers to corral my kids’ stuff that overflowed from their small study area.
Bike helmets, shopping bags, and cat supplies are also stuffed in there.
And of course, my cats have started to claim the area as their own.
Now I need to go to Mr DIY again for fake indoor plants/flowers. Because cats.
