Caroleen’s Treasures

So we are home after three weeks of being gone. The trip was good with no complains from Ella. Thanks to Dizzytab that she has taken an hour before we left my sister’s apartment. I noticed that I also have less problems with traveling from here to Davao. I feel nauseated before and really tired even we are riding the King Long bus which supposed to give me comfort. I don’t know why but one thing for sure, this won’t change my mind on moving back to my hometown before June. One thing that made me more comfortable traveling today is the fact that I am wearing a medium sized adult diaper. Yep! I asked Donald to go get me some at the grocery store this morning. He was hesitant at first and asked me twice to make sure I was not joking. Of course I am not! I made up my mind a couple of days ago that I will be on diapers while on travel because I have issues on using public comfort rooms. Plus I hate to be rushing to get off the bus and to the comfort room, then wiggling my way up to the bus and on my seat. I honestly hate the way I walk but it always makes me giggle when Donald walks like a penguin imitating me. You see, I do look like one when walking especially when there’s no other people around (I try to walk like human when we are out). The pain is too much to bear as if the gravity is pulling the baby out along with my large ans short intestines. So after three and a half hours of bus ride, I soaked and leaked my diaper.

When we finally set our feet in Trento, Ella was saying over and over that we are not in Davao anymore. She’s looking out for her bike that the driver’s assistant was holding while we are on a cab. We bought her a bike from the surplus store the other Friday and she was beyond thrilled. It was not new but the body, brake and everything is in best shape. Only the handlebars needs repainting. It was bigger that her old bike (without training wheels of course) yet she’s been riding it like a pro around the village at my sister’s place. She would even ask me to let her out to buy something at the store but when I ask her what will she buy, she don’t have a definite answer and would just say that she will just knew it when she gets there. One morning she went out and when she came back, she’s holding a cellophane of Coke with a straw and a rubber band tied around it. She asked the “tindera” to tie it for her so she could ride her bike and not spill her Coke. She just loves giving her bike some work out.

Well the house is still here and have not wandered anywhere else. Since we did some cleaning before we left and we did the laundry, the house is still looking alright but there are some laundry that needs to be folded, the wood flooring that needs to be repolished. Donald just laid the clean laundry in bed when she went home to get some stuffs here last week so I first folded each piece and put them away in the drawers then I changed bedsheets and pillow cases. Donald was straightening the kitchen especially the sink and showed me the container where we are putting the cooking oil. It was actually a ketchup dispenser for “siopao” but he insisted that we buy it for the cooking oil because he said it is very convenient to pour the oil in the pan. So the ketchup dispenser does not look like one anymore. The rats might be so mad at us for not leaving food so they munch on the tip of the dispenser all the way to its neck. I do not know if they knew that drinking cooking oil will give them stomach upset but for sure they know now.

I will be blogging some more tomorrow (pwamis!). I need to lay in bed to keep my feet from swelling more and Ella has to go to school tomorrow. See yah!
