So, where did I left about three hours ago? Oh, it will be a busy day! I just sent off my son to school. Imagine that! I was able to do the motherly stuff. How about the wifey stuff? None at all as of the moment. I am the maid for today. All alone in this house until around ten AM when I have to pick my son from school. Yes, only three hours in school. Three hours of quiet time? Who needs quiet? I love having him around. He adores me! As a matter of fact, he always wants to see me home. Moreover, he knows that during my rest days, more often than not, we go to the mall. It is a chance for him to buy his toy cars! Well, it is better for him to stay that way even for a longer period of time. I do not see him yet thinking of real Ferrari parts! First, I do not know yet if I could buy him a car ten years from now. He is six years old by the way. Oh, yeah! Sixteen is too young? Okay then, twenty years from now? I think I could afford by that time to buy him a car or maybe he will be able to buy one for himself.

This is what I get alone in this house. I tend to think of so many things. Anyways, got to go to the laundry area! Here comes the maid!

I feel for my dearest friends especially for the one who has really been close to me all these years. We recently had our yearly performance review and sadly, she was not able to make it. She was still cheerful though. She said that maybe she should start her Philadelphia job search. Yes, she could go to US anytime since she has a multiple entry US VISA which is good for ten years.

I do not know if I have to write about this but I guess, I will since the bosses will not be reading this blog anyways. I feel that she and the others might be deserving of a low grade but not that low. One of my bosses told me that they should arrive at a decision…

Anyways, I know that everyone must step up in this time of economic crisis. No one should be complacent. We could all be replaced by new hires that are more affordable than the tenured ones. So, what could be our edge? Be at our best at all times!

Old age. I am sure that no one would like to get old and have all those complications of aging. You know, conditions attributed to age like arthritis. My late Dad suffered from that condition. I know how painful it was. I really wished that the best supplement for joint helped him to at least feel better whenever there was some attacks. Yes, the condition or should I say the pain came and went. There were time that he could not even walk. He was bed ridden for months. I really did not know how the pain suddenly disappeared then he was able to walk again. I was thankful though for all those times that he was up and kicking!

Palpitation. Palpation. Okay, palpation skills. Each one of us should be able to or perform this skill. It is important especially for women. You know, we do palpation whenever we do breast examination. Palpation is actually a very useful skill. I am practicing it. Of course, the tools that you need are your hands and your sense of touch plus your correct or wise judgment.

My husband asked me to palpate his back and compare the left and right scapular area. He wanted to know if there is an increase muscle mass at the right. I think that there is. I advised him to visit the doctor. I do not like justice delayed. Indeed, he was over exercising his right arm that caused that!

It is 3:30 in the morning and I am awake. I should not do this because today is a very busy day. I should clean the house as in turn it over. There are some little flying insects that really hurt when it bites and I do not like it. I have to wash our clothes too. I also would like to wash the towels and the linens. Yes, since we do not have a maid, I must suffer doing all her chores! Hahaha! Yes, I just have to laugh about it. Till there is life, I should always feel blessed. I know, I will never get used to it! I have money to pay for a maid now. However, it is very hard to trust one. You know, letting a stranger enter your life. So, better suffer and get tired by doing all the household chores. Safety first!

Anyways, I think I must hit the sack now or depend on the best wrinkle cream for all the lines that will be added because of my restlessness. Speaking of beauty products, this office mate of mine really makes me laugh. I really adore her. One of the things that made me laugh today is her mini spa. Yes, she has one right there at her table. There are all sorts of hand cream, hand sanitizer, face moisturizer, lotion, and others!

He stopped dieting. I stopped dieting. Gone are our weight loss stories. I really feel bloated again and I could not go back to dieting. I do not like to starve myself again! However, I know that it is for my own good. Okay, after this sumptuous meal that my husband prepared, I shall diet again! Wish me luck! What about our dinner date this weekend? Eat salad my, Dear!

I never tried using any stretch marks cream. But today, I sort of regret it. I was looking at myself in front of the mirror and I got to examine how bad the marks of my pregnancy are. It is not that I would like to wear that skimpy swimsuit but I really like the marks to go away. I know, I should have prevented for those marks to appear if I did not get that big until I gave birth.

I somehow pity the Aunt of my husband. She is old and lonely. She is now thinking of cross country moving. She is willing to be admitted to an institution. Yes, home for the aged. She thought that living there is for free though. I actually offered her to live with us. But, my husband does not want to. Yes, he is the one who is against it. Maybe he does not like to take care of old people.

I am afraid of getting old. Moreover, I am afraid of getting old poor. Yes, even though somehow it looks bad or sounds bad, I believe that if you are rich maybe everybody will volunteer to live with you.

The reality of life? Everybody will get old. That is why there is a nursing home business. Kidding aside, I would prefer to be in a nursing home than feel all the neglect of my own blood. However, somehow I should understand. All will have their own life to live. They will have their own children to raise. Eventually, they have to save also for their old age. Yes, that is what we should do. Save. Save and be saved.

I perceive myself to be the friendliest person on earth. I always have this petrified smile on my face. But then again, why don’t I have many friends? As they say, true friends are hard to find. The truth is friends are all around you depending on how you will see them.

How do you view friendship? How do I view friendship?

Friends come and go. A few stays. What more important is the memories that you have shared.

My husband is at the mall right now. I gave him a call and reminded him to buy oslo paper and coupon bond for our son’s art class tomorrow. Oh, not to forget the mongo seeds and glue. I wonder what would come out of that! It is interesting. Anyways, my husband said that he was already at the counter but the POS systems of the department store seemed down. Oh well, maybe they were still using the old system and not the modern ones? I noticed that some POS systems have dependency on telephone lines and electricity. Somehow old cash registers have the advantage, don’t you think so?
