Hello all lovely friends.... Lately, all the news about domestic politics, the economy, and the world is making me feel so tired... but I have to understand that life has to go on. Just live cautiously, that's enough. This morning, I woke up to the sound of birdsong, a sound I've gotten used to every day. I started with housework early in the morning, beginning with the laundry because it's easy and convenient – I just put it in the washing machine – then I went downstairs to do other things.
This week the kids aren't in school, so I have plenty of time to do housework. Once the chores are done, it's time to hang the laundry out to dry, and of course, fold and iron the older clothes. It's become a daily routine for women, haha! Ironing always takes about 2-3 hours and is quite tiring. My legs ache from standing, sometimes the pain even radiates to my waist. It's really mentally draining!
It was quite late by the time I finished. The kids woke up at 8:00 AM, so I put aside my tasks and went down to make them breakfast. I chose a simple dish: Thai-style dry noodles with broth. The kids loved it, saying it was delicious and suited their taste without needing any extra seasoning. While we were eating, it started raining heavily, making the air very cool and comfortable. After eating, I felt like taking a nap, but I forced myself to stay awake so I could finish my work. That's just how I am; I don't want to leave work unfinished.
I also felt like drinking some hibiscus tea to warm myself up, so after the rain stopped, I walked to the front of the house to cut 3-4 pandan leaves. Then I washed some dried hibiscus and Chinese tea beans, boiled them until they were simmering, added sugar, and drank it. It was so delicious and refreshing! With this kind of atmosphere, I never forget to go look at the flowers after the rain. I always enjoy looking at the flowers; it brings me happiness, and it's a habit I appreciate the beauty of the place.
Around 4 PM, we started preparing dinner quickly, finishing around 6 PM. The atmosphere was nice, and I wondered if we should go to the evening market. Every week we go to buy vegetables. In the end, we went to the evening market; the atmosphere was amazing! I couldn't resist taking pictures to share with you all. Unfortunately, the market was very small today; there weren't many stalls on the large open area, but we didn't really mind because we were only there to buy vegetables. That's my story for today. Thank you for reading my article. See you again in the next one. Bye-bye (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
