Finally!

After weeks of dealing with a nasty virus that invaded our quiet [?] abode, we're finally 'virus free'. It was one heck of a ride for us since this has never happened before where all three of us fell victim to an unforgiving bug! It's usually just one of us...not all three of us...so it was something new deal with. The only good thing is we had it one after the other. Literally! First week it was the husband ~ who by the way was the bearer of the bad news...err...bug. As soon as he started to get better, the little one followed. For almost a week, she was nursing a cold. That's the hardest to me since I hate seeing her not feeling well. It was just a cold but still it was a nuisance. She didn't miss a beat though. She still did her daily school work and ate like she wasn't sick. That's probably why she got better really fast...in just a matter of days.

Exactly a week to the day the little one started feeling ill, I started coming down with a cold. How odd is that? That's also how long it took for the husband to kick the dang thing. Anyway, I got the worst part of it. I also had the cough...they didn't. For a couple of days I was barking like a mad dog. Two nights I didn't sleep because of it. For my cold, I didn't take any medicine since we didn't have any that didn't have a warning about thyroid. But for the cough...I just couldn't take it so I took medicine. Fortunately, hubby found one that didn't have any warning about my thyroid disease. Wheeww! For the record, the medicine that kicked my cough's arse is a generic one. The name brand I took at first didn't do squat...as in NADA! Not even a second of relief. Hmp! Next time I know what to take when this happens again...NYQUIL...NOT! I'll go with that generic one definitely. I won't even bother trying that more expensive medicine.

Today...it's exactly one week since I started feeling the wrath of that nasty virus. Happy to announce...I'm all better now. Still a bit sore on the throat but no more barking incessantly.

Virus...stay out of our house! You're not welcome here anymore.....

L-O-S-T. I guess that about sums up how I'm feeling right now...with blogging anyway. I don't even know how to start this post. 😕 It's been almost 2 years since I last posted. It's not that I have nothing to write about. I have plenty but I seem to have lost interest in blogging. I thought  at first that it was just a phase. I thought it would only last for a few days but days turned into weeks then months then years and I still haven't blogged. Nothing sparked my interest to blog so I just didn't. Not even paid posts lured me back. I even considered deleting it altogether. I felt like I'm wasting my money paying for the domain name. But I can't do it so I just keep on paying. I can't seem to let go of the domain 'Pinay Wahm' because I got it when not many Moms were able to make a living or earn in the comforts of home. I also have a lot of personal posts here that when I want to get details about something that happened in my life I can

Simple Life....

When we visited my family in 2012 we didn't actually spend as much time as I would have liked with most of them. That's because we planned a road trip which took most of our time. Since we were on the road majority of the stay, we weren't able to spend as much time in my childhood home. During our recent trip, that's exactly what we did. We spent a lot of time in my childhood home. We actually stayed home too much that we got bored after a while. But it was somehow an 'eye opener' for me as well as my significant other. On his part, he was finally able to experience 'real summer' back there. Both trips happened in April. But since we were in an air-conditioned car most of the time during our 2012 trip, we didn't really feel how hot it was. This time around, the air-con was only in our room. As soon as we stepped outside, it's hot. As a result, the AC in our room stayed on the whole day because it served as a reprieve from the heat. Every time

Finally finished the project I started a couple of months ago...at least. Now I'm a happy [and a bit sore] camper. I finished putting the mulch this morning mainly because I don't want to give the weeds another chance to invade the flower beds again...at least for a few months anyway. I think I had to pull out weeds twice before to prepare them for the mulch. I thought hubby would have the chance to put it down but his work just wouldn't let him so I decided to do it myself a few weeks ago. So why did it take me weeks to finish 2 and a half flower beds? I was just taking my time I guess. There was no hurry so I took my time. Now that I'm done with that 'project' I'm off to continue another one that I started about 2 weeks ago...decluttering my home office. The weather here is as unpredictable as...the weather? Last week it was raining almost everyday as predicted by the meteorologists around here. The time the rain would fall was the unpredictable part tho
