What Happened to Friday?

Thank God it's Friday! How was your day everyone?

Anyway, my morning was not off to a good start. My husband and I had a brief disagreement before he left for work. He became irritated while on the phone with one of his coworkers. I believe it has to do with the materials he requested. I didn't hear him because I was too busy preparing his belongings. He raised his voice as he asked me where his shoes were. So I became irritated and told him not to raise his voice and that he could instead ask me nicely. Then he kept going, and I just ignored him until he left.

I continued with my chores after he left, and he returned an hour later. I didn't pay attention to him, but I was secretly watching him. He must have left the floor plan because he was looking for it and noticed him putting it inside his bag. After that, he approached me and kissed me, only a peck, before returning to work. "Oh okay, we're good now," I said with a smile. That's exactly how my husband is. I know he was sorry, and that was his way of apologizing.

Okay, enough of my introductory remarks; let's get down to business. I'm participating in another prompt initiated by @Usagi. This is very timely for what I'm planning. How did my day go? That is exactly what I intend to write, but with the assistance of this prompt, I believe I can make it more appealing to my readers. I certainly hope so, LOL!

1. What kind of day did you have?

I have the same routine every day doing my morning chores and grinding. Kind of boring, right? But what happened this morning between me and my husband put a little spice into my day. We may have argued, but he kissed me after he realized that he was wrong. Things like that add color to my usual morning routine, so I appreciate it. And something special happened to me today, and I will explain it further in the latter part of this article.

1. If you could change one thing about your behavior today, what would it be?

Nothing, because I am satisfied with what has happened today. It may have had a rocky start, but it ended on a positive note.

1. Did you accomplish what you wanted to do today?

Yes, both from the real world and the virtual world. I had accomplished everything smoothly.

1. What made you smile today and why?

Today, three things made me smile or happy. My husband's sweetness was the first thing. Siopao, my cat, was the second. Siopao found his way up to where my laptop is while I was reading articles in read.cash, and he has been very busy and curious since then. He was following the mouse cursor, and he even went to the back of the laptop to see if the cursor was still there, LOL! How can I be mad at this babe? I can't! LOL!

And the third one is that @Yen gifted me 1000 pesos for my birthday. Yehey! We were having a conversation on the guild's discord channel. And she mentioned that the pending rewards from her invite to Abra were reflected on her account. And she will use it on her birthday. So I asked her when her birthday was and she said May 10, and I told her mine is tomorrow. She wished me a happy birthday and said that she would send me a gift through Gcash! So I was like, "for real, Yen?" And she said yes! 

OMG, I was so happy when I received a message from Gcash. I did not expect it. It is a huge amount for me. And it came from someone who did not know me personally but treated me as her real friend and virtual mom, "Thank you, Yen!"

So what am I going to do with the money? I don't know, LOL! Usually, I don't prepare anything every time my birthday comes because, mostly, April 9 falls on Good Friday, and I've gotten used to it. The only time that I remember that I have prepared something for my birthday was when I was 12 years old. The second time was last year when my friend Madel, who by the way is a friend I met virtually, and we have been friends for almost 5 years already. She surprised me with a food package on my birthday last year. And tomorrow, I have no plans yet, but the other day, my husband told me that we would have a family dinner date on my birthday. Well, it still depends on how much his salary will be tomorrow. LOL! I will keep this money for my medicine. I just want to be more practical. hehe! 

"So thank you so much, Yen. May God bless you tenfold for what you have done for me."

1. What are five things you are grateful for?

This does not apply just to today, but every day. Of course, my family, especially my husband, showed me that no matter what happens, he will stay beside me and love me. Charot! To my friends and virtual friends who keep on supporting me, To read.cash and noise.cash, who has been a big help to us, especially when the pandemic started, also led me to meet all of you guys, who never get tired of encouraging me to keep moving forward. And to another year of my life. When I learned that I have an autoimmune disease, I actually thought that my days were numbered, and so I am grateful that tomorrow, another year will be added to my long journey through life.

And so that's how my Friday went. It was not off to a good start, but ended on a positive note! So how was yours? Care to share?
