I am NOT sitting on my arse 24/7! :P
January7
Contrary to what family and friends might think, although I am currently unemployed (by choice), I have not been sitting at home and vegetating in front of the idiot box or sleeping my days and nights away.
I have been surprisingly occupied with various tasks and activities since I quit my job, besides planning and executing the Big Day.
Let’s see what I’ve been doing since the Hubs returned to work after his short leave for the Big Day. In no particular order :
- Vacuuming every other day because I keep the windows and door open so that air will circulate around the place but unfortunately, it also brings in dust from the construction around us.
- Doing laundry every few days. We have surprisingly a lot of laundry even though it’s just two of us *scratches head*
- Ironing, which I detest but still have to do. I especially detest ironing 100% pure cotton shirts because as soon as I am done ironing one section and move on to the next, the previous section gets crumpled again. Whoever invented non-wrinkle shirts is a genius.
- For the past week, been going back to my parents’ home daily so that I can give Nessa her supplements in the morning/day. Started her on her supplements program in order to slowly reduce her pheno dosage. Since the parents are giving her the pheno at night, I thought I should share the responsibility of giving her her supplements in the morning. Can’t wait till the mossie screens are in and I can move her here so that I can supervise her more closely. Hope the supplements work so that she can eventually get off the pheno.
- Preparing ingredients for dinner and attempting to cook a few dishes.
- Meeting the Hubs for lunch since food around his workplace is quite limited.
- Organizing the closets and drawers for his stuff and my stuff. We have waaaaaayyy a lot of clothes (and other junk) for two people.
- Getting misc household items and running misc errands.
- Helped out a couple of days at dad’s office.
- Went for an interview.
- Met a friend for lunch.
- Met a friend for a movie.
- Edited pics from the Big Day and uploading into FB.
- Started sending out my personalized e-Thank You cards.
- Watched 4 episodes of Grey’s Anatomy.
- …and more which I can’t recall.
Tomorrow’s agenda :
- Mop floor + clean bathrooms/toilets
- Do laundry
- Go to the vet’s to get Patchy’s special food and refill Nessa’s supply of pheno
- Meet friends for movie
- Meet Hubs + friends for dinner
Phew!
Always a pessimistic idealist… the perfectionist… animal lover… dance enthusiast… and snob to people who don’t know me. Coz I’ve got the “proud peacock look”, according to a friend. Ah well… always takes one to know one, no? 
hahahahahah!! you sound more like a housewife than me!!!
That’s coz you’ve got a helper to do the housework!
LOL—sign of a new house wife.so gung-ho to do house work. hey, the cleaning, ironing and vacuming… i don’t think you need to do everyday or every other day coz that’s not the most effective and efficient way – wasting water and electricity la. If you are living in a household of 4 ppl (like my parent’s), then you need to wash everyday. If only 2 of you, just wash/clean maybe once or twice a week. I think the cooking take a lot of thinking and preparation time. I personally dont enjoy it – thank god, anthony like it and more creative in cooking. also it is is worth googling for more recipe online so that you can learn some tips on how to cook quick meal – i think this is useful coz you will need this when you start your work again (check out for recipe in U-tube – the friend in NZ thought me this
)
Haha, no la… the major cleaning I will do once a week. But everyday have to sweep and every 2 days have to vacuum. Coz of my cats.
I don’t like cooking either but I try lor. I’m not creative as well. But if got recipe, I’m usually ok.
