Adulting Levels Busy

I haven't been able to blog since we've been busy with adulting stuff. I had to complete the tests my doctor ordered. Sweetie and Miggy also had to complete their check-ups. We also completed payment for our real property tax dues. We prioritized that to get the 20% discount from city hall. Also brought Anakin and Grogu to the vet to update their vaccination. Anakin's eye also had to be checked because it had a scratch. We're still not done with our tasks and I still have an appointment with my doctor. 

One fun thing we did was complete our Christmas list. We were able to mail a few Christmas cards. I am not confident though it will reach the recipients. I hope the post office staff will actually put stamps and send the cards on their way-- I saw the cards stacked on other cards that didn't have stamps on. Postage cost has gone up.




We also had fun buying gifts for our support teams. Half of it are our doctors, their staff and my pulmo rehab team. It takes a village to keep me stable, haha. The other half are the ones who help us maintain our home. I had completed the other gifts a few weeks ago. I just got items from my friends businesses. 

The difficult part, as usual, is finding something for my boys. My usual theme for Christmas for them is something they could add for their toy collection. I take cues when they mention something in passing, but I couldn't differentiate what they already have in their collection. So, I have to be creative this year. Wish me luck!




We plan to just stay home for now. Traffic has been so bad. It took us almost two hours to get home from BGC the other day. We skipped some stopovers since I didn't want to get stuck longer. We also have to finish decorating and I hope to finish my Christmas quilt throw pillow covers by this weekend.

BTW, my pulmo rehab therapist reminded to wear mask whenever I go out. He said there's a lot of people who are sick. So best, to be  inconvenienced with a mask for now. 

Happy weekend everyone!

Do You Still Send Snail Mail?

I still like sending physical cards. Every so often I send postcards to friends who I know like receiving snail mail. Last weekend we toiled over our Christmas card list. I thought it was the least I could do since we couldn't go home this year. 


Part of the process was to update addresses. I do this annually, but this year I had to get the addys of my cousins. I realized I knew how to get to their homes, but never really knew their mailing address (are you the same?). Now I have a list of addresses I was able to send some cupcakes for them too. 

We rushed to the post office this morning. Good thing Sweetie went with me since it took us a while to finish placing the stamps on the cards. The staff had to help us since the line grew long outside (sorry guys). Next time I'll probably buy the stamps ahead of time and do all the work at home. 

I normally try to make the Christmas cards myself, but I've been busy so I ended up using boxed cards. I wish I had more time to create things. I'm super looking forward to the Christmas break!
