I started writing when I was 8. My mom got me a journal where I could rant (prob so I won't be an annoying brat). I stopped writing for 8 years until the pen and then later on the keyboard called on me again. I blog because I like writing and that's just about it. Hope you get inspired though... Bite the apple!
February was an interesting month for me. I explored a lot of stuff I love doing. I tried to cook more homemade dishes. I tried growing more plants and worked on my garden. I tried sewing a quilted piano cover (not yet done though). And spent more time exploring with my boys.
I completed another month of 1 second everyday. A second is too short, so I made it 1.5 seconds everyday. I've also been posting weekly ones (when I remember, haha). It's easy to forget already what happened a month ago, so a second everyday helps.
Focused our time to recover from the shenanigans that was the month of August. I pushed to go out at least once a week to get moving and to have my leg checked. Recovery will likely spill over to October since I'm still hopping around.
We did spend a lot of time at home since we had to keep an eye on the mother and son tandem rascals, Little Grey and August. They certainly got all of us, hoomans and 8 cats, stressed. We decided to find experienced fur parents to adopt them. We had to be careful when we were around the resident cats since they were really territorial and didn't like that Little Grey and August took over their space.
Here's my one second everyday video for September 2025:
I tried to get back to sewing since my leg can take some pressure already (a.k.a. pressing on the sewing machine pedal). I haven't gotten around to editing the video. I'll try to squeeze in some time this weekend. Just really busy with other stuff!
Delayed posting my 1 second everyday video for July again. Most of this month seems to be dedicated to recovery.
July though was a very wet month. We were affected by consecutive typhoons. It was really stressful and was what brought me down by month end.
Most of our "outings" happened during the first half of the month. We got to dine at some of our favorite places and then got busy with adulting stuff.
Here's the short video:
I honestly don't want to have a repeat of this month since I ended up in the hospital.
August turned out to be a better month than the previous one. We took care of our health last July and last month was quite chill. Stayed home a lot. I managed to cook and bake. Baking though saps so much of my energy, hopefully that would improve.
I think the highlight of the month was seeing our friend, Marcus, again. It was a quick visit for him, but I'm glad we were able to catch up after 3 years! I think the last time I saw him was when the office was still open in 2020. I'm glad we were able to meet up!
We also worked on further decluttering our home. We finally saw our living room floor after almost 2 years of being filled with boxes! There's still some and we're aiming to clear that up so we can decorate for Christmas. Also starting to plan now what to do with Mom's things. It will still take awhile, but it has to be done sooner than later.
Here's the August 1-second everyday video
Of course, August is my birth month! We planned something that's on my bucket list. I'll blog about that soon. I preferred to stay home for my birthday. Luckily, Kuya and Ate Joy send this ginormous porchetta! It was so delicious! The serving though was so huge, it took us four days to finish (hahaha!). I think I'll get one for Christmas!
The kittens have grown a lot too. Brimsley moved them around a lot and eventually settled in the laundry area. That was the first time we got to see them properly. Soon enough they escaped their box and started walking around. They are now almost two months old and are due to be brought to the vet. The little rascals are now trying to climb everything. We had to close the side garden for safety. Let's see where this goes, so far Brimsley hasn't weaned them away.
Someone asked me if I get bored just being home. I don't! There's so much to do and I try to keep busy. I do things based on the available energy I have for the day. I think I was more active in August because of the meal plans. I got the right nutrition and was able to control what I eat based on my needs. I slept much better too. I stopped though for my birthday and plan to get back on it soon.
