Post-Winter Blues

Hi,

It’s the weekend again, and I’ve found my way back to my parents' house. The place suddenly feels so alive having the kids around. It’s chaotic, but seeing my dad so happy makes it all worth it. It’s hard to believe that exactly one month has passed since my winter wonderland trip to Northeast China. Time flew by so fast that I only just realized I still haven't finished unpacking my winter wear! I really need to get organized, store them properly in vacuum bags, and toss in some silica gel to keep the fabric in top condition.

I’m actually still wearing the same winter jacket from my days living in Australia, which is a minor miracle. First of all, thank God I haven't expanded sideways so much that I can’t fit into a seventeen-year-old coat anymore. Secondly, because I’ve taken such good care of it, it still looks brand new. Quality winter gear is an investment, so I’m determined to make sure the money I spent back then was worth it. If I’m lucky, I’ll still be zipping this same jacket up ten or twenty years from now!

Zhongyang Street after dark. They say some things and some people only get better with age. Looking at my winter gear, I’d have to agree.😉

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day of mom duties. We’re starting early with a paediatrician appointment at Pantai Hospital Sungai Petani, followed by a trip to the bookstore to restock the kids' reading materials. We’ll finally wrap things up with a grocery run, which is always an adventure with the little ones in tow.

It feels so good to finally sit down and find the time to write again. After a long week, it’s nice to just be still and reminisce about all the good things happening in my life. That’s it for tonight; I’m heading to bed to prepare for the marathon tomorrow. See you again next time. Goodnight! 💕
