dad was discharged from the hospital today and pretty soon he'd be back to his "pasaway" self. i was quite touched receiving text messages from friends from school and work telling me to be strong and that they were praying for me & my family. i guess their prayers helped a lot that at least while we're not out of the storm yet, we're getting through it.
like most people needing some distraction, i focused my energies on being productive. i started the day cleaning the fridge and since it wasn't a "no frost" kind of ref, i couldn't believe how much ice came out from the freezer. i did some laundry and later on decided the kitchen needed some cleaning and disinfecting, and so i did all that and included the kitchen table and the old, old gas range. everything was spiffy clean by the time mom, dad & the blacksheep (BS) got home. i even had lunch prepared by then with rice, "nilagang manok" and some leftover beef with mushroom from yesterday.
i really wish all these difficulties will soon be over cause i really do need a breather. but i'm trying to cope with it ... at least one day at a time. even if its hard, i have to show strength cause my mom sure can't manage all of these by herself. its 15 days before christmas and despite what is happening, i am hoping christmas is going to be as wonderful as it has always been.
