We are on the 4th week. I am not complaining. There are news of extending the ECQ and I am all for it. In fact, we've decided that even if the lockdown were lifted, we'd still stay put at home. There are still a lot of infected people out there who haven't been tested. Especially now that we are hearing about how much it costs to stay in the hospital, more people will be inclined to just go about it on their own and roam around the city with no care.
More food establishments opening up. I do not know how they are staffing their stores without public transportation. But, I hope we’d have a chance to satisfy our cravings. I need my iced mocha fix. I am still craving for Korean Banchan (?). I just hope I can get the ingredients so I can recreate these dishes at home. But, with people becoming more mobile, won’t the threat of the virus be more intensified?
I've been busy baking. I was able to get my supplies before the Holy Week and was able to make cakes for Vic's nieces. I know how difficult it is to get cakes at this time. I was also able to fulfill my cake orders from new and repeat customers. I am SO okay with NOT being in the kitchen anytime soon.
Vic and I have also started decluttering and disposing a lot of things. Oh, we've accumulated a massive amount of stuff since we lived in this house. I am gradually dealing with the mess in one storage room. Hopefully, it will be more organized by the time the ECQ is lifted. We've set aside items for donation, toys and baby stuff for others to use, paper stuff to throw out and school materials to reuse. I unearthed old Halloween costumes, school IDs, mementoes from when the kids were in pre-school. I even found an old balik-bayan box with unused towels, socks and shirts.
Now that the kids have grown, I have to seriously think about disposing the toys cluttering the den. I would like to redecorate it. I already have a new color scheme and a different layout in mind. Hehehe. Do we need more desk space where they can study? Maybe a home office? Some of the furniture have seen better days and I am very inclined to have them re-upholstered. Should I just buy a new set? Now that the house is more lived in, I noticed that some pieces of furniture are not fit for our lifestyle.
Oh well, this project would have to wait. A lot of things would have to wait.
