我的快樂 會回來的

Just the way I am

There never seems to be enough time for me to spend with my family and Richard. I guess work is a huge part of my life right now, but I wish that I have more time so I can do things that I want to do at home. There are so many things to do right now. The way to solve this problem is to organise my time better. I spent time texting to Richard in bed last night, but if I had more time, I would be more comfortable and relaxed when I was texting.
I was so tired when I got up because of late night texting. Mum came into the room, and I was still dreaming. My brain switched on immediately and the thought went to what to wear today. It was an amazing process of slow movements that sped up gradually until I was fully awake.
On the breakfast table, mum told me that the glass door that dad left close to the back wall almost fell during the storm. Mum secured it, but I think I will move it at some stage. It is a two persons' job. I want to find more recipes so I can cook more food and experiment, but I always feel tired after work. I just have to take it easy at the end of the day so I have energy to concentrate on something that I find enjoyable. I just love the colours, aroma, and the taste of good food. It doesn't have to be gourmet or fancy, just trying new things, putting spices into the hot pan will make the kitchen smells really good and make the cold home more like a house where people live in. A house that doesn't smell of food and fire is just not good enough.
I also want to do more writing, but lately I've been doing too much other things. I am glad that the Europe trip is planned. I have to pay for the train ticket and sort out what I am going to bring. Since we are going to Italy and France, perhaps I should try to learn basic French and Italian? At least learn how to read the menu and recipebooks? That will be very useful since we will inevitably dine out and when the menu comes, I can't tell whether it's beef or pork. I may order some raw meat by mistake like Mr. Bean!!! It will be hilarious, but I don't think it's a good idea to do that every time. It's just not done. I already have a German dictionary so that will definitely help my Europe trip.
I have to do some needlework to attach pockets to my clothing soon. I will have to draw some patterns and use the fabrics that I've already got at home. However, I think I will have to make a belt since it will become uncomfortable if I put the pocket in my bra. I also have to think about the fabric that I am going to use. It will have to absorb sweat and not irritate my skin since I have to wear it everyday.
I have to do more housework. Mum and I bought this new EasyOff Bam that I haven't tried out. The grime and the grease will just have to stay there for another day. Beware! I am watching you and you will soon be destroyed!
There are songs to play on the piano. I want to learn how to play chess properly. I also want to play a little bit of Mah-Jong. There's this butterfly cross-stitch that I started a long time ago that I want to finish. I want to read more books from the library.
