My days these past few months are
centered more on doing household chores.
Yes! Every day I find myself thinking on what to cook for lunch or
dinner or how to make our house spic and span.
My day today—it’s a
Saturday! Should I say hooray for today? Not quite since every day is like a
weekend for me. I’ve been stuck in the house for 4 months now and every day is
almost the same.
This morning, I was
up early since my husband has to be in the office at 6am. I prepped my early
morning snack while he got himself ready for work. I had cold milk and a piece bread
and when he left, I cooked rice and fried egg for my breakfast. Yes, I am that
hungry every morning that I need to have early morning snack and then the “real
breakfast” will follow after an hour or two. Hehehe!
After I ate, I went
to the bedroom and made the bed, opened the windows, swept the floor, arranged some
stuff and then off to the living room to sweep and arrange. And oh! I almost
forgot the dishes and pots that were all over the kitchen! Wearing my comfy
apron, I washed the pots and dishes and de-cluttered the kitchen mess. Hubby is
really particular when it comes to cleanliness so after rinsing the dishes and
pots, I wiped clean the counter with alcohol. Arrgh!!! There’s still the
friggin’ oven… So I got a washcloth and cleaned the oven as well.
I thought that’s the
end of it. I realized that I wash our undergarments yesterday and since it was
drizzling early this morning, I had it dried using the electric fan. After
that, I went back to our room and took a nap (for 30 minutes)
When I woke up, I
realized that it’s time to cook for lunch. Oh no! What to cook? I decided to
have soup since the weather is quite cold. I got the pork out from the fridge
to thaw and then I sliced the onions, ginger, cabbage, bell pepper etc. I then placed the spices and pork in the pot
and bring it to boil or to make the pork tender before adding the veggies.
While waiting, I browsed through the net and read the daily news, checked all
my “social accounts” (hahaha) then continued reading a novel (e-book) from my
ipad.
Then, at 11:30 I
set the table and tossed the veggies in the boiling pot then added salt and
ground pepper to taste. Hubby arrived and we had a happy lunch together. Hubby then had to go back early since they
will be having a meeting….again! (for the nth time)
So, I cleared the
table, washed the dishes and pots, wiped clean the counter again with alcohol
as well as the oven using washcloth and then swept the kitchen floor. I AM TIRED!
So that’s half of
my Saturday. I am hoping that later we will go out or maybe have some pizza for
dinner while watching movies. I am in the house from Monday-Saturday and I
guess I need a BREATHER every weekend. We are supposed to touch base in Bukidnon
later but my brother and aunt are not feeling well. I don’t want to risk my health again especially
now that I am carrying a very precious cargo—my little boy who makes everything
light and bubbly.
