It was the most terrible night here. I got chills and I almost cannot get myself to pull another blanket to keep myself warm. The fan was turned off and windows were shut but it I can feel the cold seeps into my bones. It was the coldest night ever since we moved here.
I went to the grocery store to get a few items and headed straight home. Tatang and Inang arrived shortly from Kabacan and Davao. They have attended two consecutive funerals and I can see how tired they are from the sleepless nights and the 6 hour trip back home. Inang handed money to Ella from Mamang Ising (my mom’s older sister) for her birthday. Mamang Ising and Inang met in Kabacan and was talking about how we are doing here and that she misses Ella so much. She has a grandaughter same age of Ella but Ella is much sweeter and fun to talk to as what she says. Now I am the proud Momma again 
There had been many visitors today. After Inang and Tatang arrived, one neighbor came…then the husband…then their two kids…and then the sister-in-law. When they all left, I went washing our sheets and towels. Then came Tatang and Inang’s son with his wife and 1 year-old daughter as the darkness sets in. He happen to be Donald’s friend back in Davao. Ella and Nica (their daughter) played while the daddy’s talked. I soaked the rest of laundry and went back in as it is getting so cold. His wife is nice. We invited them to join us for dinner, so this was our first dinner with company.

Hope you’re warmer tonight. I can’t sleep when I’m that cold, and will go search out another blanket… Or throw some hints to Joe, so HE can get me another blanket. *lol*
