It’s red and blue this time, marking the end of November. I’ve also just gotten a brand new Christmas tree for the house, which is slightly taller than me (even though it’s supposed to be only 1.5 meters tall), has lots of branches and is filled with luscious green sprigs of leaves so it look a lot more authentic than the previous one. We still have a lot of memories made with the old (shorter) Christmas tree though, so the boy told me not to throw it away. Okay fine.
It’s coming close to December. Things are not slowing down at work and I’m not slowing things down in the kitchen as well. There are cookies to bake, roasts to make, Christmas decorations to set up and hopefully a holiday to look ahead to!
I took some time off on Friday to rest. Nowadays, I feel like having time to rest on weekends isn’t enough. And I feel like I would like to take time off every other Friday to rest. Of course I can’t, so I treasure every amount of time I have to do so, and to be able to do what I want. This time, I went cycling with my husband’s bicycle, and I cycled (for the first time in my life) almost 40km! Have never cycled so much in my life at a go, I think, so this was a rare achievement I made by myself, for myself. Shiok!
I have misophonia. I wish to tell the whole world how it’s like to have this ‘anxiety’ – one which a lot of people don’t know about. I wish for everyone’s patience to please read on.
The boy’s final year examination is finally over. Thank goodness, because the many nights of wars and battles to revise and study with him can come to a halt. It’s mentally very tiring, not just for myself, but for him as well. When he blows, I blow; when I nag, he begs for peace.
