Yesterday and today's errand

June 14-5

Thank you, sponsors!

Hello to all of you read dot cash family! Wish you all the best in everything that you do especially for your good and for others too.

I spent yesterday at home taking care of my partner.

Although, I felt bored and unproductive good luck still knock on my door.

At around 10 am yesterday I tagged along with my partner to have a walk for a while and bought him medicine in the pharmacy a few blocks from our home. Though he felt dizzy walking I encourage him to go slowly so that he could bathe himself from the sunshine.

After a few minutes of walking, he decided not to go with me to buy food and viand anymore as he is tired and dizzy already so I let him go home ahead while I went straight to buy meat and veggie and at the same time bought bread from the bakery for our late breakfast.

As I walked back home, one of my clients saw me pass them and called me and ask if I can render a massage service. I said yes quickly lol.

I told her to tell her daughter to message me if they're set all ready for me to come over to their house.

The afternoon came and a new message pop up on my messenger asking for a massage, I replied yes and ask the exact time. And she replied if I can be there earlier than 8 pm, I answered that was fine with me.

So that was it, I went to my client's house around past 6 pm and finish the massage at around almost 8 pm. I thought that was all so I keep my things while waiting for the payment and was ready to leave when the madam called the other lady (the one who asked me earlier) to come next and another one after (her husband who is the brother of the other lady whom I did first and a bakasyunista).

So, I earned a bit last night plus a tip of cash and in-kind (toothpaste and bath soap). I used my earnings for our daily needs and for my partner's medicine too. We also bought earlier a super kalan as our gas was out already this morning.

Today's work was not about earning but a bit of decluttering and cleaning the kitchen roof of many grains of sand, soil, leaves, and other debris from the carpenters changing the main roof sometime last year.

For me to reach the roof, I need to use a ladder and squeeze myself through a rustic outlet of a grill on the roof. It was hot in the afternoon but I had to do it then while there is not yet rain to come.

The drainage (alulod) was stuffed with much dirt that the rainwater slipped through the roof and spilled down into the kitchen when it rains hard.

The one problem with the roof also was the wooden bars that hold the galvanized roof were eaten by termites already so I can't step directly onto it but balance myself on the top of the wall while sweeping the drainage. The good thing is my neighbor lent me a long-handed broomstick to easily remove the dirt at the drainage.

Ugh! That job was not easy you know? From carrying a heavy metal ladder from the outside to the inside and figuring out how to stand it without swaying or slipping away while I climb into it. Then the rustic entrance can't move aside without much force because the braces were full of rust already and can't rotate no more.

I spend a few minutes trying to squeeze myself in between the bars while pushing the upper portion of it without making the ladder slip away before I finally made it to the top. That was a bloody messy breakthrough lol.

And finally, the roof drainage is free from debris that hinders the water from flowing. I hope it will not overflow again despite the hard rain that will come.

It is worth the sweat and burnt skin under the sun. Though my hands have a few scratches from my tight grip I feel fulfilled with what I've done today. This task was planned a long time ago but I did not make it because of some reasons. But now I made it.

I guess that's it for now lovely readers. Thank you for reading again.
