The Missus is Online Again!

Ladies & gentlemen... I'm Back to Blogging!!!

Wow! I just made an all-time record – I haven’t blogged at all for more than 20 days!!! Yes, dear readers I am still alive though living like a zombie on auto-pilot for the past weeks ever since Kean started school again. Sigh.

My little boy has just entered Grade One and his classes start at 7:15 AM. Considering how slooow Kean moves in the morning, I had to wake him up at 5 AM to have enough time for a good breakfast and for his daily grooming and health supplement rituals before his school bus picks him up at 6:30 AM sharp! So this all meant that I had to wake up at around 4:30-4:45AM to cook breakfast, and prepare his baon, etc…

Let me tell you this – I am the worst morning person in the world! My body and mind are just not built up for the crack of dawn. So for the past weeks, my body clock has been badly disturbed that as soon as Kean gets picked up by the school bus, I’d catch up on a few more zzzz’s and would end up sleeping the whole morning. I would only wake up when Kean finally gets home at around 1PM, so don’t count on me being productive any more.

Ever since this routine started, I just don’t have the mental energy to multi-task all my pending projects and do some blogging in between. My creative juices were parched. I was always grouchy. I always felt tired. And my lethargy only resulted to a sloppy household – the laundry pile was always brimming; our closets were a mess; the floor not mopped, the carpets not vacuum cleaned; food was always delivered or those simple dishes – all of these just added to my depression.

All this time, I was writing my pending projects and editing the fifty stories for the church’s commemorative book while on auto-pilot! Truly it was only God’s sufficient grace that kept me on and made me finish everything. On my next blog, I’m going to tell you about the WORST DAY of my life ever which happened during the first week of June.

Anyway, finally all my projects for June are done and the contents of the book are now in the hands of the layout editor, and as an added bonus, my father is in town for another short visit. Compared to the last time he was here, his arrival has never been most welcomed than now. He came right in time for Fathers’ Day yesterday. We've patched up immensely after our big fight last year. Celebrating this special day this year was indeed "special!"

He said he wants to help with taking care of Kean at least for a few months while I do my work. And besides, he’s really got nothing to do much in Davao now since our grandmother (his mom – the one he’s taking care of) is currently vacationing in Canada with my aunt’s family.

I already began getting back my creative rhythm a few days before. With Papa here now to help me and with all the stressful projects done at least for this month, I can have the last few days of June to catch up on my blogging. Oh my, I’ve got loads of stories and thoughts that I’ve been dying to share to you so stay tuned for all of that. The Missus is online again!
