I'm back on track

I took a long absence in my blog due to some un-expected fiasco in my homeland. My house in the Philippines was robbed 3 weeks ago. It put me in a stressful situation that it was impossible for me to be able to happily chatter while I worries from here and there.

It can happen to everybody but knowing I cannot control the situation and I cannot do anything about it makes me really mad. It makes me mad that sometimes I let it affect my motivation in everything that I do. My self control and sense of decision making tends to be compulsive and radical. I guess its human nature. I hope to be able to be more calmer as I go older.

I did a lot of sewing and stitching 'though to re-direct my attention, otherwise I can easily get sick and depressive whenever I think about it. My secret garden cross stitch is almost finished. I'll give it a month and its ready for framing.

Time for General Cleaning

The weather is lovely lately that's why I took the opportunity to do some cleaning outside. The cupboards and all the cabinets are done. I did wash winter clothes and washable jackets and mantels. Marcel is now 3 days busy cleaning and repairing the fireplace. All I have to do is put away all winter clothes and do lots of ironing. Then I can go back to sewing etc.

I am excited because I bought a new gas fornuis so I can fry fish outside whenever the weather permits. Its really fine to be able to sit outside in the afternoon. Drinking cool kriek
