I just finished washing the dishes and tidying up the kitchen. I’m truly exhausted, but I find myself looking forward to writing about how my day went.
This morning wasn’t like my usual routine. For one, I finally managed to get up and clean our SUV. It’s never easy cleaning a car, but I really enjoyed seeing how clean and shiny it looked afterward. The bonus was basking in the early sunshine and sweating from the effort. I actually love to sweat - not because it makes me feel clean, but because I feel detoxified (sweating is one of the liver’s ways of detoxifying, after all). I need that to improve my overall health.
Come to think of it, I don’t complain about cleaning as much these days. It’s become a habit, and I often find myself organizing one thing after another. Of course, there’s always the inevitable PC interruption (which, I think, is necessary to keep a bit of fun in my never-ending household chores).
Then the ‘big box’ was picked up by Forex. This box contains various items for our family back home - some new, others old, and, of course, the usual body care products and canned goods. After that, it was back to cleaning.
Hubby came home and told me we needed to head to DPS for my written driving test. Uh-oh. I wasn’t ready! But seeing how much effort my husband put in just to accommodate me, I couldn’t say no. So, I faced the inevitable. In my haste, though, I forgot to bring my receipt, which really irked hubby. I apologized and told him I would take the test if they’d let me, even without the receipt. And they did!
Though I had to wait a few minutes before they decided to accommodate me, I finally took the written/computerized test. I didn’t exactly ace it (I skipped two questions and got 21 correct), but I PASSED!
That was definitely the big payoff of the day.
Afterward, we went to the mall, not for shopping, really, but because hubby had a meeting. He dropped us off at a nearby mall, where my kids happily ran and climbed around the indoor playground. As a treat, I bought some Bath & Body Works products and a few things for the house.
Well, that’s a wrap for today!
