It’s a habit to blog every time my family is away for
vacation. I forgot to blog about it the last time they travelled to Guilin.
Nothing much happened except I finally picked up the phone asked my friend to
teach me how to use the washing machine. Yes! I AM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE TO THE
WORLD I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO OPERATE THE WASHING MACHINE! Hahaha and I still don’t
know how to use the machine till today. But I am glad this time none of the fur
kids at home were injured or sick. My home alone session at home was more
peaceful and manageable.
This time my family went to Chiang Mai. Should there be
no flight delay, they should have landed by this time which means my freedom
being home alone will end soon in 1 hour once they reach home. What are the
challenges and learning this time?
Well a very sick dog. He’s got some cancer like growth at
his hind right leg. He’s too old to risk the operation so we have decided to
put him on long term medication and vitamins. Cleaning his wound is definitely
a huge challenge. It felt like as though I am fixing a bomb. My sweat was running
like an open tap even if I’m just sitting on ground. I feel like crying every
second of it looking at the pain which he needs to bear with. I beg him to hang
in there. Hopefully he will be able to recover and spend many more years with
us.
Washing is piece of cake this time. I chose to hand wash
this time. Yes I’m a loser!
I begin to love this family travelling at least once a
year tradition. Although I am home alone but I am happy for many reasons. They
get to travel and relax at home. I earned my couple of day’s short freedom. I
appreciate them more because I do miss their company and everybody shares some
house chores. I feel safe and secure when I am out for work or play because I
know someone is at home taking care of the fur kids.
I’m gonna miss the following list of things which you do
with no shame when you are home alone *chuckle*.
o
Do house chores in YOUR own style
o
Watch TV whole day. Zero nagging that the TV is
hot and needs rest or else it will explode anytime
o
Eat after all top priorities completed
o
Quiet and quality moments. Zero interruption
o
Eat ice cream
o
Leave plates and mugs in the basin and wash
later
o
Let the fur kids sleeps wherever they feel most
comfortable and close to us
o
Leave the bed unattended
o Shower with door opened plus walk in and out naked
Shit! They are back early. Good bye freedom at home. Welcome
freedom outside!
