September is here. When I was little, my teacher in Indonesia once said, “Any month that ends with —ber is a rainy month”. Then she hugged herself and said “Brrr” acting like it was so cold. That’s what we Indonesian say when it’s cold. Although inaccurate, there is little truth in what she said….
I haven’t wrote diary for so long now since I decided to go analogue this year. It’s been a good run but I’m missing the daily journal with pictures! Life has been very different, in a good way. I started a Biblical counselling course and certification and spent most mornings studying. Book club meetings had…
It is finally happening. We adopted a cat! We have been thinking of adopting a cat for more than a year. I did contact many shelters. Unfortunately, they were not happy with our house location and the fact that we will be first-time cat owners. After being let down a few times, I moved…
The year 2023 will end in a few days. I am looking forward to the new year and what the Lord will unfold. One of many other things I am preparing as I enter 2024 is to get my planner and journals ready. Throughout the year 2023, I was back and forth between paper-based and…
Sunny it was, at least during the day. We started our morning routine a little late. I was on the phone calling my GP to enquire about my repeat prescription. Unsuccessful. The dispensing only opens their phone line in the afternoon. The plan today was to bring the guest bed from Mum’s house. Brother in…
I finished sorting out my craft storage cabinet today and vacuumed my study/guest room. We are going to get our old bed from Mum’s house and put it in this room tomorrow. Still need to get bedding, a mirror, a hand towel ring, and a pair of slippers for guests. I have a plan I…
I didn’t take any pictures today, so here is a picture of me taken when I was doing my doctoral studies in USA Let me start with the weather report. Yes, it is still awful. I wanted to pick up a mirror from a charity shop in the afternoon, but it was pouring rain….
The weather was still awful. I got a lot on my plate today and so I thought I can ask for help. I delegated a posting letter task to Andrew since he had to go to Handyman Shop anyway. I have a trust issue when it comes to getting things done. I found it…
I didn’t sleep well the past few days. Struggling with my asthma and blocked nose. Today my body finally nagged for a rest. Stimulations became too much for me. I struggled to stay focused. Andrew offered to cook today. Thanks, love. And I stayed in bed after church. I had cat naps but my head…
The weather has been awful for the past few days. Storm is brewing in the sky. One day it was super hot and humid, and we got a swarm of thunder flies on the west side of the house. Never seen something like it before. They are harmless but they can be very annoying when…
