What kept us busy during Mother’s Day?

We painted our fence!

We had that wooden fence made of used disassembled wooden pallets put into place the other weekend after days of waiting for the carpenter that our neighbor friend contacted became available to do the job. It should be Daddy who will work on it but we don’t have the tools to make the fence and it will take him probably days to finish it so we hired somebody instead. We paid PhP3,000 for the labor alone but it’s all worth it. Expenses for the fence will be deducted from our rent as per agreed with the house owner so I really didn’t mind about paying that much to the 3 guys who made our fence.

I and Ace did the painting in the morning till lunch and I would say I won’t paint again when the sun is up because we’re toasted like buns! We actually have an umbrella while doing the job under the heat of the sun but it seems the umbrella isn’t enough to keep us from being sunburned.

There’s still a lot of things to do in the house. I am not yet done with unpacking. That needs to be pushed aside because of other priorities. There’s also the yard that needs weeding and by the time I am done with unpacking, putting away things and others, I am already slimmer than before (crossing my fingers) because sweating out doing those stuffs works like fat burning pills. Hence, I won’t need any of those now because my sedentary lifestyle has changed. I am now more active than before. :-)

For days, it’s been gloomy with scattered rainshowers (do I sound like a weather forecaster?LOL). I loathe this kind of weather especially that I cannot just snuggle under the sheets for the rest of the day. I have to keep going because work needs my time and pending tasks are almost drowning me. Ace, on the other hand is determined to go to work despite of the weather that’s been tempting him to stay at home and sleep.

I should be thankful for the cold weather because we could opt not to use the a/c at night. So that’s a couple of kilowatt/hr less in our electricity consumption. We actually tried it the other night. But we end up restless because it’s too cold with the windows open and it’s too hot when we close it. Hence, Ace decided to use the a/c last night though it’s already cold outside. At least we could regulate the coldness that we want by adjusting the temperature up so we won’t be shivering despite of the micro fiber blanket that we have that serves like a heated blanket. Unlike the comforters, the microfiber blanket doesn’t absorb cold so we remain comfy even if the room is chilly.
