I have been busy with work, and fixing and cleaning the house. Done with the guest and the boy's room. Currently doing the young lady's room. After hers will be our room.
From cleaning,
It has been almost a month also since the boy moved to college. It's been quiet in our house but Raffy Tulfo and Nina Taduran (a Filipino radio show duo) has been accompanying me during the day. I don't pay too much attention to them though. I just let them talk and do their thing while I am busy with work.
Talking with the cats has been a constant thing also. Last night, I heard the mister talking while I was in the other room. I hurriedly went to the dining room where he was sitting. I didn't realize he was talking to Bowie the cat. I honestly thought he was telling me something.
The boy has adjusted life living away from home. His best friend Christian who's also in a college near the boy's, sends me text messages sometimes, and that he has met the boy's roommates. He said, "I went to Jason's apartment on Saturday, and stayed for the night. I really like his friends. I'm going back this Friday."
That's so good to know.
I think he's already there now for the sleepover.
FYI, if I can't contact the boy, Christian is my 24-hour hotline to relay messages to him.
With Yna, I have her forever best friend Sammy, and her boyfriend, Larry. Before she graduated from college, Diane her roommate was included in the list too. She is, I think, in Hawaii now.
By the way, my kids came home on Labor Day weekend. Yna's boyfriend came too. He is always welcome at home. All of their friends are.
I baked goods for them to take back to their respective apartments. A baker's dozen of freshly baked Ube ensaymada and charcoal loaf bread for the young lady. Four mini loaves of chocolate zucchini breads and two dozen of peanut and chocolate chip cookies for the boy. I also sent cooked chicken longganisa for the boy. I made sure it was chicken because one of his roommates doesn't eat pork for religious reasons. You know, just in case he'd like to try a Filipino sausage.
Two days after, the boy told me that they loved the longganisa.
By the way, he is the only Filipino in their apartment, but not the only Asian though.
Since it's just the mister and I now, we have been eating mostly vegetables, and occasionally fish for the mister. But sad to say, I have not been able to exercise or do my daily walks. It's been almost a week since it's raining.
I guess, I'll just dance to Latin Workout Radio on Pandora in our kitchen later.
TGIF!

Hello again. It is so nice to read updates about your family and a lot of things changed. I know your son will do well. (I believe that great parental upbringing plays an important role in children's success in life.) It just mean that I do know that you and your husband are great parents.
It is good to be busy and I also did. This time, will write again and will be back commenting on your page.
talagang masarap ang longganisa...
Oh my gosh! Super guilty pleasure ko yang sina Tulfo!
This post just radiates with warmth and love. I can almost smell the chicken longganiza, aromatic and heartwarming like a mother's love.
You are such a thoughtful mother. I am sure your kids are all adjusting fine. Both my folks are retired and to be honest, they don't really know what to do with their time either!
I have been really vocal of my being very grateful for all of the relationships that my human cubs make outside our home. I am so happy that they have friends.
Welcome back, Jon.
Thank you. Like all parents, the mister and I are doing the best sa aming makakaya.
Hi Arvin.
Thank you.
We aren't retired yet but we love to walk in trails and parks, read books, go thrifting and enjoy happy hours. :D
