Holiday

August 6, 2021

 Yey. It's a holiday.

August 6 is always declared a holiday in our city, Cebu City, as it is the Foundation Anniversary of Cebu Province. The holiday is extended to the highly urbanized cities of Mandaue City, Cebu City, Lapu-lapu City, Danao City and Toledo City, meaning, the whole of Cebu Island in on holiday

 Earlier this week I wrote a short post that I will be making up to you my friends by visiting your accounts, reading your stories, give a thumbs up and probably leave upvotes on this day as there's no work on a holiday.

I thought I have the whole day to do this. But something came up that I need to prioritise or else I won't be able to read your articles.

Can you guess what that is?

Yep, I need to have my eyeglasses repaired or else all I can see is a blur. The lens on the right side of my eyeglasses keeps falling off. I am afraid that I might step on it and break it. So might as well have it repaired right away. So we went to SM City, where the supplier of my eyeglasses has a shop.

It took only a few minutes to repair the eyeglasses but I have to accompany my hubby on his errands. Every time he is home, he always find something to repair or build. So we drop by Ace Hardware for his requirements.

As not all were found in Ace Hardware, we plan to drop by another mall where Handyman, another hardware shop, has a store inside. But before that we first look for something to eat for lunch.

I don’t want to eat inside the restaurants so we just ordered for take out. We ate our lunch inside the car.

We then proceed to Parkmall where Handyman is located inside. This mall has an area for vaccination, so we first tried to get in the line for a possible walk in vaccination. But to our dismay, their cut-off was at 1pm and we arrived there at 1:30pm. We were no longer allowed entry.

So we just proceed on the errands at hand.

Another happening within the week was the news of the passing of my aunt. She has been bedridden for almost two years already. No more pain for her now. God bless and rest her soul.

So after finishing off of my hubby's errands we went straight to my aunt's wake and visit with my cousin. It took less than an hour as they still have to rest.

On our way home, we drop by Seaman's Hospital in the hope again that my hubby can do a walk in vaccination. After a few interview in step 2, he was finally moving forward to have his vaccination.

While me on the other hand was left outside the vaccination area, under a tent with the heat of the sun high up in the sky, fanning myself while writing a draft for this article. I did bought with me an old work in progress crochet project but I forgot to put the hook inside the bag. I was not able to do some crocheting today.

Finally after a few hours, my hubby came out vaccinated with Moderna. We were told only Moderna or Pfizer are being given to seafarers as there are other countries who will not receive them if they are not vaccinated with Moderna or Pfizer.

I am now home, finalizing and publishing this article of the day. I still have thirty minutes to check on your accounts as I will be hearing mass by 8pm for my aunt’s nightly novena.

After that, I hope I still have the strength to visit your accounts.

This is how I spent my holiday while others spent their day at the beach, as seen on their posts in Facebook. Well, family and health first before leisure.

Thanks for dropping by.

Thanks for the 🧡🧡🧡.
