It's been almost a year since the pandemic came. Who will not remember COVID-19? This month marks the anniversary when the world stopped living and when people crept into their living rooms and retreat into their darker selves.
Last year was also a test on how government respond to pandemic. I would say, 98% failed. It was notably the government run by women showed the world how pandemic can be survived. Kudos to New Zealand and Taiwan for showing the world how it should be combat COVID.
Vaccine: I had my first shot (moderna) but I am still extra careful. Nevertheless, out of bad habit, I always fell into carelessness (the one when you touch your face even before you "hand-sanitized". Jaz and mama had theirs, the kids don't have it yet (unavailable)
Bread: A blessing and a commitment. Who would predict that we will be so immersed in the dough business. We are blessed, yes, but we are also committed. We have taken to supply 6 stores along the Greater Houston area (including Baytown) with our Filipino bread/s (ube pandesal, pan de coco, spanish bread, ube ensaymada, cheesy ensaymada and our favorite and pioneer of all our breads, the special pandesal).
Kids: Zach is now in his sophomore years at HSPVA (https://www.houstonisd.org/hspva), Xandrei was just accepted at De Bakey High School and Ylize is in her 2nd Grade.
Mom transferred to DeBakey Hospital for more than a year already. She's been loving it. I guess, this was her best work so far, but more so, she's the driving force of our bread business.
The chicken? Well, from 12, we now only have 4. Two weeks ago, a pack of dogs broke our fence and came in wreaking havoc to our chicken. Two were mutilated and killed while one was badly wounded. Out of the 3 dogs, we were able to capture one and sent it via the county animal control.
Health: It was a good news to find out my last AIC is 6.8, a rare and seldom occurrence. As I was scrolling my past lab results, it was scary that at one point, I got as high as 7.9.
Future? Well, I moved from fulltime to part time at St. Helen. Next year, instead of teaching Religion and Reading, I asked that I be given only the reading load. Thanks to our ever-understanding Dr. Coleman. I couldn't thank her enough.
Blogging? Pray that I may have the fire to write regularly, if not daily.
See you then.
