When The Nature Is Not At Your Side

This is the follow up of my last post. As mentioned I’ve been busy taking care of my mom’s renovation plan. Date has been set, the renovation will be started on Monday. Plan for this weekend is packing and moving some of my mom’s furniture and other stuff temporarily to a rented house. We can only move some of them since my mom has a lot of big and heavy furniture, it will cost a lot of work (and money) if we try to move them all.

We already got the rented house we need. It’s a bit expensive but big enough to fit the furniture and only 5 minutes drive from my mom’s house so I thought it’s still ok. We called a car rental and booked a truck for today and tomorrow. Also we arranged some people to come and help with the packing and moving job for today and tomorrow. We are so on schedule :) (I thought).

Then it happened… rain! Not just rain, it’s a heavy long hour rain. It’s been happening since the last two days now, rain falls every day. But it’s June, aren’t we supposed to be in dry season? What happen if we continue having rain for the next couple of weeks? I can’t (or don’t want to) imagine it because we’re going to remodel the roof and if heavy rain falls the second floor will be flooded! Should I delay the almost perfect plan? Oh!

A Busy Week Ahead

I’ve been busy for the last couple of days, there’s a lot of things needed to be done by the end of the week. I even took a day off on Monday to settle my personal things. Here’s the summary of what I did during the last two days:

  1. Monday morning I went to my son’s school to register him for the next school year, he’ll be on kindergarten. When I was there I saw my son and his classmates were rehearsing for their graduation day next week. Yes, even a Pre-K kid now has a graduation ceremony. They were so cute… and a little bit out of order, lol. I can’t wait to see them on the grad day.
  2. After that I went to a laboratory to have some tests concerning my pregnancy. During my first pregnancy, my OB/GYN ordered me to do lab test because of many complications happened. As for this second pregnancy everything has been going on smoothly, no doctor’s order for lab test. So this time the lab test was based on my own initiative. I just want to make sure that both the baby and me are fine. I will get the result and hand it over to my OB/GYN tomorrow.
  3. In the afternoon I had an appointment with a contractor who will do a renovation job for my mom’s house. The house has been practically abandoned ever since my father got stroke many years ago. Now, two years after he died, my mom has decided to renovate it and she asked me to deal with the renovator. That was our second meeting and I managed to close a good deal with them. The renovation will start next week.
  4. Monday night I was so tired and not in the mood for blogging. It got worse since I received so many error messages when I tried to do my Adgitize round, apparently it was down for a few minutes. I still managed to get full 100 points for publisher click though, but failed to make a post for that day, so no article points for June 1st.
  5. Yesterday evening I spent time checking several rented houses nearby. We need to rent a house to store some of my parents’ furniture and other things during the renovation. I wasn’t satisfied with all houses recommended by my husband and my brother yesterday, so they will need to survey more houses. The renting and moving things must be done this week because next week the contractor will start the job.

Yes, it’s going to be a busy week!
