30-Minute Warning IX

Last time, I said that I feel tired physically and mentally. What about today?

Well, physically I’m still tired. I went out at 1pm and I was supposed to pay for a traffic ticket at a specific bank. But then the clerk and security guard told me to go to a payment center 2 km away from the bank. I had a hard time looking for a jeepney, so I walked from the bank to the payment center. And then when I arrived at the payment center and inquired if I could pay for the ticket, I was told that I need to go to the city where the ticket was issued.

Good grief. My heart sank and my legs are sore because I was walking and inquiring all around from 1 to 3pm. I told my family on the phone what happened and that I can’t pay for the ticket today, and they understood. Thank you, family.

As for how I am mentally, I feel better now. After running errands, I went to my favorite cafe Satchmi and I had my late lunch: a tasty BLT and a refreshing house blend iced tea. I’m sure I said it before, but let me say this again: One of my favorite weekly habits is hanging out, dining, and writing at Satchmi. Thank you, my favorite spot and safe space.

After that, I went home via FX. And then the rain poured heavily. Crap. I can hear the heavy rain punching the car roof even if I have my earphones on. Good thing I have my foldable umbrella so I can brave the rain somehow. An hour after the FX ride, I arrived home safely. My slacks and shoes got wet, but at least I’m home now.

10-Minute Warning X

So, what can I type on this post in under 10 minutes?

Well, today I didn’t do much at work. I only photocopied a few papers for less than 5 minutes, and that’s it. The minimal task for today kind of makes it up for all the workload that I had last week. I’m expecting a bit more work in the coming days especially since it’s almost the end of March, but today I’m enjoying the slacking off. I didn’t get to nap this afternoon, but having the chance to do so makes me so happy.

Speaking of napping, since I started working for the family business, I feel like I lack sleep during work days, Monday to Friday. Perhaps I got used to sleeping more than 9 hours during my unemployment period. But one trick that removes my sleepiness in the morning is taking a cold bath and drinking any caffeinated drink. Lately, I usually drink a Nescafé 3-in-1 or Creamy White in the morning. Thank goodness for coffee.

Tonight I will walk and jog with Younger Brother at Three Trees. I asked Mother if she could join us, but she said she feels lazy. That’s all right. I can’t force her. And as long as I can walk, jog and do aerobics at least 3 times per week with or without company, I’m good. However, I hope Mother can join us next time in exercising. It’s for her health. And she doesn’t have to do a full workout; walking around a jogging path is good already.

And time’s up.
