The Reasons Why

September 13, 2021

 I have been inactive for the past few days, in fact, the last article I published was last September 8. This is the longest number of days that I have not written an article. The goal of writing at least once a day will never be fulfilled.

There are several reasons why there is a long interval from the last article I published.

ILLNESS STRIKES

Due to the sudden changes of weather in a day, colds and cough has come our way.

It started with my son having colds, cough and fever. I have to tend to him and check on him from time to time while doing my office work. Then my eldest daughter caught the cough too.

When my husband had his second dose of Moderna vaccine, he was adviced by the nurse to rest and expect fever for three to four days as the second dose of the vaccine is stronger than the first one. Because he has no side effects on the first shot, he did not heed the nurse advice but instead went on to repair our apartment that was recently vacated by the tenant. He painted the walls and the following day he made a hanging cabinet. Later that afternoon, he started to have fever as high as 41°C. I have to constantly check on him too. At least by this time my son’s fever has subsided and is healed of his colds and cough.

After two days of fever, my husband finally recovered but he got the colds virus from my daughter and a few days later, I got the colds virus too. I am still recovering from the colds. I thank God that I didn’t have fever and cough.

NEW COMMISSION

I received a new commission for another outfit for my “suki” client. This time it’s Tinkerbell’s costume with leaves as skirt. I was informed of the order only on September 8 and this needs to be delivered on or before September 16 as her pictorial is held every 18th of the month. I have a very short time to finish this commission as I only do it during off hours. So I was cramming to finish this on time.

I just finished the dress and the hat, though I still have to do the flower to accessorize the hat.

As of this writing, I still have to do the booties. And because the foot size has increased I have to innovate again and make a new pattern which really takes time. I have been frogging twice already before I was able to get the exact size.

 Every where I went last weekend, I have to bring this work in progress (WIP) just to finish it on time.

MEETINGS

Zander and Trixia’s school decided to have their online meeting for parent’s orientation last Saturday. The whole morning of Saturday was booked for that. And since, I have booked beforehand for my vehicle maintenance on Saturday morning also, I have to attend the meeting at the Toyota service station office while bringing my WIP with me. Talk about multitasking. 😁

My uncle also, calls for a meeting to settle some land disputes with regards to our property and the tenants on Sunday. And because it was the first time we saw each other since the pandemic, the meeting stretched so much because of various talks here and there. I arrived home late at night already.

CAMERAMAN / DIRECTOR

My son, Zander has a lot of school activities that needs to be finished within the week. One of them was a cooking vlog. He decided to cook sisig. So last Saturday, I went to the supermarket to buy the ingredients that he needed. So bright of him for not telling me ahead as I was grocery shopping the Friday before that.

So, Saturday afternoon, I have to act as his cameraman and at the same time director and maybe the writer too.

And now, frankly speaking, I don’t know how to end this topic. Hahaha

Thanks for bearing with me, my friends.

Let us all have a happy week ahead and hope not a super busy one too.
