What a fast couple weeks it has been. I don't know where to start. I have been pretty awful at keeping up with this blog, as there is only one other post from me since its initiation and I had a goal of 1 post a week... Nonetheless, I am here now with many ideas and much to catch up on!
To begin with, last week was definitely a whirlwind. My aunt and uncle were visiting, hailing from my native country on the other side of the world. I hadn't seen them for 7 years until then. It was lovely to catch up with them, but, at the same time, reminded me of how I've still got lots to prove to my family for them to see me as an independent adult. However, it takes time and it's only fair to give them at least the same amount of time that I took to reach this perspective.
At the end of my uncle's and aunt's visit, my father treated the family to a buffet meal at our nearest Mandarin. We all enjoyed it and, of course, had a good chuckle over the fortune cookies. Here's mine:
While I've never really thought of finances of a way to define my lifestyle or achieve my mind's desires, it is a nice wish for the future! Ironically, the rest of the week, I ended up working a lot, so I will be earning a little extra on the next pay check. Some things go hand in hand.
I am now in the middle of a new week - almost at the week's end, actually - and it has definitely been a little more relaxed. I have been able to catch up in chats with a few friends, which has helped me relieve some of the stress I have been feeling lately, and also do my share of household chores, which makes me feel less guilty for being quite an inactive member of the home.
Lots more happened and is continuing to happen, but I feel like I'm not really reaching out to anyone on this blog, so I'm just aimlessly typing away ... Maybe I need some sort of "identity" on the web to make me a little more famous and easy-to-find...
Sincerely,
E.Starr
