Gentle rains at the start of the week

Tweet

The ITCZ has been bringing gentle rains in our region and I'm loving how it seems to lift my mood and make me more productive. I got up at 4:30 am today and cleared the dishes in the sink that I purposely left the night before. Then I swept, mopped and dusted the area downstairs. For breakfast I had wheaten bread with blackberry jam and a cup of barley coffee. After eating I checked for bugs in the front garden. Found a thorny caterpillar in my string beans. I cut off the leaf where the caterpillar was and threw it into the compost pile. It was already past 7am and I still wasn't in the mood to do laptop work so I decided to watch OC Cleaners UK on YouTube instead. It was an episode that I've probably watched before. (I've watched a lot!) I stayed with it anyway until I remembered that Monday is garbage day and I've yet to pack the trash and take it out. So I took out the garbage while watching OC cleaners and hoarders take out their garbage. I did a bit more cleaning and discarding after watching OC Cleaners then opted to take another break to watch my usual K drama. I'm currently watching "Lovers in Bloom." There's like 120 episodes in this TV show. I'm on episode forty-something already. I started my online work at past 12nn. I took a nap at 2:30ish and woke up at past 3 or something. Then I remembered that I hadn't taken lunch. I had leftovers -- rice and egg. Now I'm back at my desk to work on some modules and to myLot in between. The gentle rains are still here. I'm thankful for this rather slow but productive Monday. For dinner tonight I'll be serving smoked fish, adobong kangkong (stewed water spinach) and leftover pork humba. How's your day been?
