Entry 74 - Just a normal entry for the sake of writing something

This morning is just my usual morning--- waking up early to water my plants which basically consist of bell peppers, melon, lemon, calamansi, tomatoes. I just started germinating my chilli seeds which I hope to plant on soil 3-4 days from now. Later my husband will bring home the tanglad leaves I asked from a friend. These tanglad leaves will be very good especially for the roasted chicken my husband makes. But I also need to grow them first, so hoping the husband will bring me more soil for our mini garden. I also had to transfer a lot of extra tomato sprouts to plastic cups so I can give them away, repotted some plants so they can be placed in a better location in pot in preparation for their growth. I took me a while to finish everything but it did give me some welcome moments under the morning sun, which is good for my health.

I still feel very tired from yesterday's activities--- aside from the gardening, I baked 2 cakes for a friend's friend's birthday celebration and the other one I tried making a chocolate chiffon roll cake for the first time, just for self consumption which turned out really well as expected. My husband, the not-too-much-fan-of-anything-sweet, actually finished half the roll in one seating which made me pleased and annoyed at the same time. Baking those 3 cakes already did me in, I love baking but the cleaning up is so, so, tedious.

****Fast forward to the day after since MD for some reason logged me out and wouldn't let me back in. Good thing my earlier draft was saved though!****

Office day is still the same.. quiet and not much action going. Wish that the company will be able to get more clients in the near future. And it's payday today apparently so I am looking forward to finally getting a salary after almost a year of bumming. The pay isn't much and it's not even for a full month since I only started last Oct 22nd.

Later, I'm going to treat my husband for dinner to this Turkish-Filipino restaurant we always frequent after doing some grocery shopping for the 2nd night in a row, the shop we're buying from has the rest of the stuff we need, which is mostly Philippine stuff. I still feel very tired today but I'm basically doing nothing. My only consolation is that I get paid doing nothing! Hehehe.The thing that sucks about doing nothing and staring in to space is that I am left with a lot of free time to think about things that I normally don't dwell too much on. I don't want to go in to details though.
