Well done Mini B 😀 

 

I have popcorn ceilings if anyone wants to scrape them...

 

Chorus recital was like having a chainsaw run through my skull for 90 mins.  MIL knew I felt awful so when it finished she spent another 20 mins talking to an acquaintance about rednecks late wife - I swear I never knew I could envision so many ways to wring one scrawny neck!

Everything crossed for a smooth and stress free journey

been having a couple of bad days, but today was way better.

More tattoos lined up, delicious coffee, pozole and tacos all helped.

Yes, food helps a lot, I love to eat, hah.

 

I'm also figuring out the next moves, and I get to see my husband in 17 days,

so I can't complain. 3 months went by, so it's been long and stressful. 

 humm Pozole....

I'm watching this documentary on PBS about one of the maternity hospitals in Manila.  This woman with her twins is giving me the sads.  She is so skinny, they don't have a proper NICU, she doesn't have diapers or enough food.... she looks so overwhelmed.  :(  The women near her keep giving her food and breastfeeding her children.

Haha my older daughter bought a tutu for her favourite chicken. She also wants to make chicken diapers so she can bring her in the house. That won't be happening.

It is a huge improvement over third world conditions and is quite good for the limited resources, but it is still hard to see.

You know in some cultures, they have a selfish mentality. Sometimes out of tradition (China) sometimes because of hard times(North Korea)...

The Philippines, while poor, is far from nearing the bottom...

I'm not doing anything today. No work, no calls, no anything. 

Mope around all day, that's the plan. 

Ok, maybe I'll go to HD to kick around. 

Go look at the boat...

Fix something...

I dunno...

 

But I'm not doing #### today

And ever improving as the birth rate drops.  It warms my heart to see people with little of their own help out a neighbor.
