If you care to ask…

How am I lately? Well…

Whoever said the first few months of marriage was supposed to be all bliss was lying. Hehe. Sorry, I’m generalizing. What, I’ve only been married for 12 days and I’m already so very tired. Too many chores, too little time.

I’m learning… I go to just the supermarket now. I cook [at least I try to—sometimes I do leave food in the stove for too long, but Aoi doesn’t complain with the “slightly burnt” food I serve…well, not yet anyway]. I wash the dishes now. And I get this rush whenever I wake up to a sun shining for that can only mean one thing lately—I can hang clothes to dry!

I’m coping… From “buhay princesa” to this. I would always tell my mom how much chores I did… things like how I polished the floor and what detergent I used with the clothes. She would just laugh at me. But I know she’s proud of me. Proud that I’m at least trying. And prouder to see me made it through 12 days on my own without going crazy. But although my mom visits me regularly, I still miss her. Badly.

Like I always say, it can’t be all bad. At least we now have four plates. We started with two. And what do you know, I don’t need sleeping pills anymore. Because I’m too tired at night, I fall asleep the instant I hit the bed. Next thing I know, it’s a new day and my husband is greeting me with a cup of coffee. I wake up to another day realizing that God has given me enough strength to do all the learning and coping over again. Happily.
