A Day Under A Gloomy Weather

I was a bit sluggish when I woke up this morning. I woke up as early as 5 a.m. but decided to stay in bed because of the headache that I had. Then I told my husband to prepare breakfast because I could not make it. He asked me what I liked to eat. I just said, "anything." Then he said, "What am I supposed to cook when you said "anything?" Then I said, "Bahala ka na." I believe he was irritated, and I can feel it. At least now he knows how I felt every time I asked him about what to cook and he would simply reply, "anything."

I decided to get out of bed after an hour and a half. He was all done with the cooking and cleaning up the mess in the sala. He told me to go outside (frontyard) because that is where we usually have our breakfast. We had our breakfast silently. I wasn't talking to him and neither was he. I was busy checking my noise.cash account and a read.cash account. I have so many articles to read because I have been inactive these past two days because of the side effects of the medicine that I had to take. I don't know what he was thinking. Maybe he was bored because the materials for his job were not delivered yet. 

I was also racing my Pega while having breakfast. Speaking of which, I had fun playing it. I was even rooting for my horses to be in the lead lanes, but as I always say, it's a game of chance and a gamble. You'll win some games and lose others. Just pray that winning is more than losing, hahaha! It was my 10th day of being a Pegaxy scholar. And as of this moment, I had earned 727 VIS. I think I will be able to accumulate 1 thousand VIS before the month ends. But the price of VIS right now is so heartbreaking. As of this writing, its value is 2.290 pesos, and 1 thousand vis means 2 thousand pesos only. Sigh. So I am planning to hold my Vis as long as possible and wait for it to pump again. I really wish that it would pump and not dump just like what happened to SLP.

This is how I record my races, manually. I don't know how to make or use Excel, so I kept my records in this notebook. This is also where I kept my emails, passwords, and seed phrases.

Moving on with my day, my friend and neighbor who works in our barangay told me this morning that there would be another rice distribution today, so I had to prepare a xerox copy of my valid ID. Our rice bucket is already empty, so I feel like my prayers were answered instantly. My husband told me that he would claim it on my behalf because of my condition, but when he arrived at the venue, I needed to personally claim it because they needed to verify it first before handling the 15 kg of rice. I just changed my clothes and off we go. And here it is, tada! A 15 kg sack of rice is enough for 2 weeks' consumption.

I was actually playing my Pega when my husband told me that I had to claim it personally, so I told my daughter to continue playing it for me. She knows how to do it because I taught her everything already. You know, just in case I won't be able to wake up the next morning, chariizzz! And she had fun. She was still playing when we arrived home.

Then I went back in front of the monitor again to write this article while I was busy chatting on our discord channel in Pegaxy. Someone was singing, so I was listening to her while writing this, hehehe. She is @bmjc98's niece, and I love her voice. And I was tempted to sing there as well, but not right now. I don't have the courage to destroy their eardrums, yet, hahaha!

And that's how my day went. A day with a blessing. I guess every day we do receive a blessing. We just don't notice it because we usually expect material things when we say the word blessing. But just to be able to wake up every day is already a blessing so let's be thankful.
