Keep Grinding on a Saturday Hello beautiful ones! How are you all? The weather today looks so nice. I woke up late because today is Saturday, which means no online classes for the kids so all of us stays a little longer in bed. Unlike the other days that passed, the warmth of the sun was present when I woke up this morning. I looked up in the window and saw that it was already on it’s peak since it’s already late. I hurriedly went out of our room because I received a text message from the courier of the online shop where I am selling my crafts reminding me that the rider is on the way to pick up the parcel. However, I forgot to arranged it last night because I was busy with other things. So after arranging it for sometime, I set it aside and wait for the rider while preparing our breakfast. Since it was actually late, I decided to cooked chicken macaroni soup. It’s gonna be breakfast and lunch at the same time.

Whew, today has been really a busy day again. When I looked at our fridge I saw it’s empty, all that’s left were ice cube. I think it was time for some grocery. After eating our brunch, the rider just came in time to pick up the parcel. And then after, I prepared myself to go outside to have some grocery. I took a bath, changed my clothes and then got my face mask together with its face shield. I hurriedly went outside because I needed to be back home before my husband Anthony went online. The good thing about our place is that there’s some grocery mart nearby. It’s up to you if you want to ride a jeep, a tricycle or can just take a walk. So this time, I decided to take a walk for a little exercise. It will only just take 5 to 7 minutes walk from our house to the grocery store. I brought my umbrella with me, since it was a little hot and if in case the weather started to change, I am ready.

In just a little minutes more, I reached the grocery and the first thing I did was to looked for the atm machine. Yesterday was payday and I was actually expecting a long queue in the atm machine, but since it was after lunch there wasn’t much people in it. When it was my turn, I inserted my atm card to checked if there’s money in it and fortunately there is. I withdraw some cash and went to a lotto outlet which was just beside the atm area. Actually I am not a fan of lottery because honestly I am not lucky with it. But since I was already there, why not try, who knows I’ll be a millionaire tomorrow.😁 Anyway it only cost 20 php or less than a dollar and I am not doing it everyday.

I went upstairs to proceed with my grocery. I grabbed the cart and started getting all the essential things we needed at home. I was very careful in choosing what to put on the cart because I might overspend. Budgeting is such a struggle for a mom like me. In this trying times, we have to spend every single penny wisely. When everything else was in my cart, I went to the cashier to pay. I got the grocery bags and went home right after so that I can talked to Anthony when he goes online. This time I took the tricycle because the grocery bags were a little heavy. I remember back then when the first lockdown was imposed, there wasn’t any mode of transportation available and I have no choice but to carry all those heavy grocery bags. It took me 15 minutes or more before I could finally reached home and that was really tiring. I guess I was out of my mind back then because I forgot to message my husband so he can just fetched me. What a fool I am?

When I got home, as part of our health protocol inside the house, I washed my feet and sprayed some alcohol on our grocery before I took them inside the house. I took a bath again and changed my clothes. I need to be careful because corona virus is just around the corner, we can’t see it, so one of the things we can do to prevent it is to followed some health protocols. And I don’t want to risk my health and my children so following it wouldn’t be a big deal for me. In the end, it’s better to stay safe than being sorry. Of course my day, wouldn’t be completed without talking to the love of my life. It’s the last day of their cruise yesterday and he got some good news to me. Well I don’t want to spoil it yet because I am going to share it in another article. I am glad I’ve washed the laundry the other day, so today I just folded the dry clothes and put them in drawer. Since it has been sunny all day, I took this chance to get Yumi, our dog a fresh bath. The moment I called her to get a bath she wasn’t responding, as usual she really hates getting a fresh shower, but she has no choice because it’s been a while since she had her last one, the good thing about Yumi is that she still smells good even without taking a bath for a few days.

My busy Saturday includes doing my made to order crafts. Right now, I have three pending orders, and this week I need to finish my mickey mouse and minnie mouse felt ornaments. So far I am enjoying doing it, even though its really tiring. Don’t worry, I always find time to rest and never let myself stressed out over this things. Meanwhile I need to catch up with children modules. I have to checked it first before I returned it to their respective teachers for further checking.

That’s all I did for today. I am glad, I still have time to check your articles from time to time. How about you? How was your Saturday? I hope everything seems good and well. I would end this up by saying thank you everyone who’ve reached this far. You were all greatly appreciated. May we all have a great weekend too. Have a nice day to all.
