Why, it's practically the end of the world!
Everyone is away today and for the first time in so many years, I cleaned the house all by my lonesome, gave the dogs a bath and cooked rice. Cleaning the house once again proved that I am allergic to house dust therefore I should avoid disturbing it forever. My dogs were happy I gave them a bath this week. They got squeaky clean and fragrant unlike Yaya's perfunctory baths. Igor was a well-behaved boy and suffered my ministrations. The rest were their usual angelic selves who let me soap then shampoo then trim then clean their ears then brush and blow-dry their hair. They love it. Now they are all peacefully asleep at my feet except for Igor who is on his pillow like a little spoiled arthritic brat.
As for cooking rice, Kayla had a say in it. She said just put lots of water anyway we like our rice really soft and it will turn out ok. Once upon a time, when Kayla was still in my belly, I couldn't cook rice if it killed me. One day, I put some rice on and forgot to turn on the cooker and only remembered it after a couple of days. You can imagine what a smelly mess that was. Ugh!
Thankfully, my Mom cooked the chicken adobo although I do make a killer chicken adobo. I remember how the last one I cooked was so good you'd want to keep chewing it because you don't want the taste to leave your mouth. That was a good 25 years ago. I'm sure I can do it again!
This time last year, I fell in love for the first time in my life and got broken-hearted a few months after. End of THAT story.
This year, I am happily loving someone special. It's not the same. There are risks and limitations but it sure is worthwhile. I hope it lasts a long time.
Otherwise, life is still the same.
Fun!
