@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5350) 19 Aug

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5350) 18 Aug

I know it's still Sunday in some parts of the Mylot world. How is it going? The weather is still so humid on my end. It's 7:35 PM. I cannot wait for autumn- the weather makes me feel lethargic. I had a slow Monday. I tried...

Our Sunday Potluck

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5350) 20 Jul

As I wrote earlier, I forgot our Sunday potluck, so I shared beverages instead of food. I was worried we might get late because I lost track of time while doomscrolling - my bad! We took a taxi to the church instead of bus, which...

Hello, Mylotters! How is it going? It has been a while. I started with my new part-time job. Pretty challenging, but I am ready to put up a good fight. I know God planted me here for a reason. It is meant to teach me a lesson on...

Quitting

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5350) 16 Mar

I lost two kilos in two weeks

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5350) 10 Mar

To say that this job is hard is an understatement. Children can be very chaotic and difficult to control. One section almost turned my room upside down. The manager is micromanaging. However, I understand because I'm a newbie....

Cheap Fashion
