休息




休息, 是為了可以走更遠的路。


(in case you are wondering...No, I didn't stay home today. I'm at work. This is just an inspiration I got from our discussions last night)

The New Routine

This week hubby started his new job at the new location and we can no longer travel together in the mornings & afternoons. I surely miss that time together: rushing together in the morning, our little breakfast joint, the lunches and afternoon si-nac-ku...

Of course, we were just too spoiled for too long..and finally the time has come! We knew this is going to come for a long time but when reality hits it's still difficult. On Monday it felt so sad to be on that bus all by myself, so early, so dark & wet... Then having timmy all by myself felt kinda lonely too..I wasn't even motivated to walk over to our usual breakfast joint..Just grab timmy on the way. No, I'm not overreacting...it really felt different and it brought tears to my eyes...maybe I was just getting too tired from the hectic day at work too, or it's that infection in the ear that's hurting me...I can blame it on alot of other things...bottom line is, I'm NOT having a good week!

Today is the third day and I'm slowing trying to learn to enjoy the time alone, if enjoy is the right word to use. I'm trying to get used to it, at the same time, trying to really find some positive sides to "enjoy"...

^ Ok...so we can't chat right away about BRC questions as we read the bible together at our breakfast joint, but maybe I should use that time to quiet down and let Him answer the questions Himself and "chew" on the insights myself first?

^we are not eating at the breakfast joint together, but maybe we should start making breakfast at home again and save $

^no more lunches together....there are still many of you dtowners to keep me company...(oh no! even pL will be leaving soon! Our numbers are going down too quickly!) Maybe me & aL can chat more at lunch... haha, sorry bF! ... or, maybe I should go check out the gym next door...

^no more afternoon tea afterwork, obviously that's going to save $ and help with my diet...

^our 2nd NDS from AirMiles just arrived, maybe I can now brush up my MarioKart skills on the way home! (that is, if I don't doze off on the train...)

^HEY!!...I'm still missing that shoulder to lean on when I zzzzzzzz on the train/bus! What can counter that?
