A Little bit of This and That

It's the 2nd day of 2022, what are you guys up to? I am pretty sure that most of you are making the most out of the holiday. Some are still on party mode, like one of our neighbors here. They've been singing like crazy. It's a bit annoying because they are so loud but, yeah, let them enjoy because tomorrow, we'll all be back to reality. Back to work, back to school, back to grinding and hustling. As for me, no matter what day it is, it's all the same.

Let me share what I call "lutang moment." This happened just a while ago. I was sleeping when my husband woke me up, he wanted me to accompany him to the market to buy food for our dog. So I just washed my face and fixed my hair then off we go. We almost reached our destination when I realized that I am not wearing a facemask. I cover my face with my hand and told my husband that I have no face mask on. He was a bit annoyed, we stopped at the nearest drug store and bought a face mask. Then as I was buying, I noticed that my slippers were not the same. The left side was of my husband while the other side was mine. I was laughing when I told my husband about it and he didn't know how to react. Some people have noticed it and they were all smiling.

Imagine wearing this in a public place, what would you do? What a great way to start my year, lol!

The introvert side of me has been anxious these past few days. My inlaws are going home, for good. They've been in Canada for 20 years and now retiring. They are going to have a vacation here together with the family of my stepmom-in-law. She had 2 daughters and a son from her first husband. And also my brother-in-law and their family will be coming along with them.

Honestly, I am not comfortable with their company. They are kind but I know that their kindness is not genuine. When I was in "bingit ng kamatayan", they never bothered to call. Not even a single " how are you?". They didn't even bother to give even a single penny for my meds. I mean, I am not expecting anything from them but at least they should have called, right? So I know that they did not care. It's like "pakitang tao" only. And I know that my father-in-law is a bit mad because of me. I cannot disclose the details because it is too personal. But you know how inlaws are especially when they do not totally accept you in the family.

In fairness, my inlaws have been so generous to us and helped us in any way they could. But I don't know why I feel this way. And I am already worried about their reaction if I cannot go to Boracay with them because of my condition. My health could be at risk in long-distance travel. I am worried that they might think of it the wrong way.

If you were in my shoes, what will you do? I know that I am exaggerating and I might actually be the problem but I cannot help to feel this way. Oh the hell with it, I'll just figure it out when the time comes.
