it rained almost everyday last week, and it rained the whole day on Saturday. I love cuddling with my kids watching tv on a rainy day. i love the sound of the wind blowing against the trees, the sound of the raindrops on the side of the house and the windows.
i was going to cook brunch on saturday, but i decided to ask my husband to bring us to G0ld1locks. I don't really like their pinakbet and palabok, but it's close enough...i know for sure i will miss it. last wednesday, when my husband had to stay late and dine with his bosses, i took my little one to eat at Max's. it was just the two of us, but I ordered for four. again, their pinakbet was overly salty, i did mention to the waiter when he asked how everything was, and the manager was willing to fix it and or give me something else, but i politely declined. i didn't want to be difficult, like i always am. it felt good...as if i did something good....well, i thought i saved someone from my wrath. it just felt good not making a fuss and not making someone go out their way even though they were responsible and actually taking responsibility. it was weird.
anyways, i told my husband that i have not taken full advantage of the Filipino stores and restaurants in our neighborhood. i will blame it on my commute. i drive an average of 180mins/day, and when i get home, i don't want to drive another 13 miles just to eat at Max's or Red Ribb0n. i can cook, but i get home pretty late, and i usually am exhausted - i just want someone to wait on me, but it gets to be pricey. so we do a lot of grilling and steaming veggies. it's healthier. now the move date to nc is getting closer, the reality is setting in, the thought of not having the convenience to quell my sinigang cravings, and not being able to eat pancit palabok when i feel motivated to drive to vallejo, makes me sad. wah.
i know i will adjust well in our new home. right now, my thinking process just shuts down whenever i try to imagine or put a list of things i need to do for this move especially thinking if my house will even sell in this current market.
