The three day rest days ended yesterday. Today would be my first day for the week work. I got plenty of rest. I slept a lot. It is just that, I think it is not enough. You know, having a family around to take care of. That is the challenge of parenthood and wifehood, I guess.
Last night was our fist night here in our bedroom Since September 26. Wow, it has been almost a month, huh! Well, this bedroom smelled rotten wet wood until my husband removed the tokador (read: dresser). It has been with us for more than seven years. It was a gift from my husband. Well, we let go of so many things because of the typhoon Ondoy cum flash flood cum man made disaster. Well, at least the room is more spacious now. That dresser was quite bulky. I remembered my husband’s reason for buying a big dresser. He said that it will just be okay once we have a big house already…
I will have more typhoon stories when I am already in the mood for writing. Should I say that I have note recovered from the loss? I guess. I always say that I will not buy new things anymore because those might just be washed away or taken away by the flood. Really now!
I am sure today will be a long day. Being away from work for three days means e-mails to clean up and so many follow ups for unresolved concerns. Sometimes, I am thinking to call in sick whenever I feel that I do not like to go to office yet. If only I could afford to do that. But, I have to get up and prepare for work. I have mouths to feed, you know.
I hope that it will be a good day, though. As it is, I have some worries inside my head. Son is sick with coughs and colds causing him to have fever. But I know that all would be fine. God will make me pass all this.
Meantime, I will go back to sleep. I miss this bed, though without the mattress. We threw it away because it was soaked in mud. I might buy the replacement by November 10. That long, huh! Well, thank you to the comforter that serves as a substitute so that our backs would not directly lay on the hard plywood.
