Here I go again with the same thought every time I don’t get to post for a few days at WordPress, it is hard to start all over again. It seems as if the thoughts you have in your head vanishes like thin air when you are ready to share and ready to write about it.
I’ve been sick for four days last week, that kind of feeling when you can’t do anything but shut your eyes and wish the pain of a gargantuan headache will just disappear. It was further aggravated by the summer heat we are having at the moment and a fever that simply would not go away. I am not exaggerating. I’ve probably consumed gallons and gallons of water just to beat off the heat. I was still lucky and blessed though because last week, Mom, my sis-in-law and niece had a five-day short vacation with us so they did the cooking, cleaning the house and watering my plants while I was indisposed. My ten-year old niece was so attentive she could pass for a nurse. She is good at doing those relaxing massages that make you feel sleepy. She was seven when she last stayed with us during the summer and I am pleasantly surprised how she has grown to be a very responsible young kid. I wish they could have stayed a little longer.
It is hard to go back to your normal routine when your body is weak. I am taking things easy and that means the laundry is piling up, the carabao grass needs an immediate trim and our new puppy made a minced meat of my bromeliad, even my angel plants didn’t escape from his roving eyes. This afternoon, for the first time this summer, it rained hard in our area, enough maybe to save on that much precious water for at least two days.
In between bouts of headache and fever, I was able to show my niece how to bake Chocolate Crinkles. I can still see the joy on her face and the smiles when she tasted the batter and said “ang sarap” which means it is yummy. Since it was my first time to try the recipe, we have to go by the book, a step by step procedure that she could really understand. Surprisingly, they came out well, a good partner to the green tea our neighbor gave us when she learned that I was sick. It was crispy on the outside but chewy and soft to the bite. She made me promise to teach her how to bake more goodies when she comes over again to visit us.
I learned two more designs to my growing fascination for Rainbow Looms. It is quite hard (at least for me) to follow the instructional videos on YouTube which an eight-year old can easily do. My son bought more colors and they are really expensive. Maybe when I am well enough to sit in front of the computer, I will learn more.
Those look delicious. Oh, and I hope you’re feeling better now 🙂

Thank you very much Patty! I am quite okay now but still a little wary of going out. Still taking things easy, my only frustration is I am not able to blog.
