I think the last time I wrote a post was almost two weeks ago. This has never happened before even when I was on chemotherapy twelve years ago when I have just started blogging. I was able document my treatment.
I guess the longest time when I haven’t even visited WordPress was when I got sick with Covid. Having Covid and fighting it is not really worth blogging about, it does not deserve such.
To tell you the truth, I suddenly lost interest in blogging and sharing my thoughts in cyberspace. Maybe I deserve this hiatus, maybe not. And again I am sorry that I haven’t commented on your posts lately.
I could do just about anything now except gardening though I was able to trim some of our Pandakaki plants and Josef started cutting the carabao grass, finished a third of it. Some of our stepping stones are showing now. It may take several afternoons yet before we could put it into order. Really need to replant.
I took shot of our large jackfruit fruits which have grown bigger while I was sick. Our lone papaya tree has lots of fruits too. Our kalamansi trees are presently flowering but there are large fruits that we haven’t harvested yet.
I got engrossed again reading. An eclectic mix of historical, romance and lately started a book by Thomas Merton. It isnot the type that you read in one seating so I am biding my time reading it.
I haven’t been to the doctor yet. I still don’t have a normal sense of hearing. Still afraid to go out.
Glad to hear you are getting back to your reading, Arlene. Blogging can wait until you are feeling better.
Best wishes, Pete.

I read about the hearing problems recently from Covid. I am terribly sorry that you are dealing with them. It must be dreadful to have such a valued sense sending wrong information all the time. Write when you can. I always am glad to see you.

Thank you Elizabeth. Until now my sense of hearing hasn’t gone back to normal yet. I could not even talk with my friends in messenger because I don’t understand them.
