Playing Chess

With the recent changes in our household, we have been playing chess at the house.  Well, it's really a term from my MIL where we re-arrange furniture and fixture around the house.  

One of our rooms have been freed recently when my father-in-law moved to a home when his health has really declined.  We have no guest room so yes, the sensible thing would be to turn it into one.  But I am not really sensible.  Lol.  I didn't get rid of the bed so we still have a guest bed but I moved the Tatapilla there and turned his old bedroom to my office and craft room.  Oh and to store some of my shoes too.  Nothing major like novation launchpad s

The moving and re-arranging has been going on for more than a month now and it's still going.  Too much of things to move and sort, what can I tell you.  But I have the coming holidays to get it all finished, fingers crossed.

Booked

Since we came back from our five-week overseas trip, I have not had any day off from work.  I'm sure you understand why.  I am out of annual leave.  My five-week stunt really exhausted my annual leave.  

Yet, we have accrued points with our timeshare club and they have to booked if not used before this month is over.  And so we did.  

So it's all booked now, towards the warm season of this year and summer of next year.  All holidays need to be in-synched with school holidays.  I don't really want to take the Tatapilla out of school.  

Now, to plan the activities and what to pack.  And we are going fishing, yay!

First Day of the Month

A pinch and punch for the first day of the month.  Another month in the new year.  Sound cliché but time really flies.
There are so many things to be thankful for last month, so here’s a few:

Time to try and cook new recipes.
 For being a conscious shopper.
Sticking to budget (so no guitar pro for me).
Time to sort and organise the Tatapilla’s clothes, toiletries cupboard, linen cupboard and pantry.
The Tatapilla in year 3, a smooth-sailing first day of school.
The Tatapilla liking the tuna sandwich, one of the new recipes I tried.
 A Friend’s visit and going to new places.
New books to read for me and the Tatapilla.
Getting over flu and cold that I got from the Philippines.
New year, of course.
Good health for the people I love.
