I am not going home yet

Our day started early (or should I say it ended late yesterday?) because we are still wide awake at 3am. Donald couldn’t sleep so we chatted for a while and he decided to watch a James Bond movie in the laptop which he found so boring. I, on the other hand, tries to catch sleep by tossing and turning. Everything doesn’t seem to work so I just waited for my eyes to just close by itself which happened at nearly 5am. It was drizzling and gloomy the entire day. I wanted to go out and buy the fabric that I needed to sew a couple of receiving blankets but like thhe previous days, I don’t feel like going out. I plan to do it tomorrow morning but just tonight, we got a message that we will be leaving for Trento tomorrow at 4am. Just when I already had in mind that we are still spending our 6th wedding anniversary on Sunday here in Davao.

I see some changes in Ella. She isn’t insisting what she wanted. She asked if she could play with Voj but when I said “no”, I never heard her stomp her feet and complain. I think she is becoming more mature or was it all because of the games in the pc and laptop? If so, then I think I could give her an hour in the laptop each day as a bargain. As usual, she alternately plays the games and the cat who pretends he is asleep each time Ella gets near him.

In the afternoon while trying to nap, Manang Inday (my cousin-in-law) called. She is one of the few readers of this blog and through checking on here and knowing we are still stuck in here, decided she (and he daughter) will spend time with us all before we leave. She said her mouth watered upon reading about our dinner last night. She’s a big fan of “sinugbang panga” and kinilaw too and requested it for dinner. Donald agreed only if they bring ice cream. He ran to the market and just when we are preparing the dishes, they came with an ice cream and bread! We had a wonderful time chatting about the latest news and gossips back in our hometown while Dimple spent time with Ella inside the room infront of the laptop. They went home half past 10pm. I am glad they came because we wanted to visit them yet their place is very far from here. Looking forward for another get-together next month during the graduation of Cheche and my niece Mgel.

Talking about going home tomorrow…..I feel like life is unfair! I dragged my aching feet going here and I am not dragging them going back there. I still want to stay for the weekend. I am not dragging my feet anymore….if Donald can carry me out of this house then let him do it. I am not joking. I really mean it.
