Ang Bisaya

As old young as I am, I already am complaining of body aches and pains. It might be because I am not an active person. I don’t exercise so I don’t sweat much. I am gaining weight every day. Just a lot of reasons that lead for me to complain too much sometimes. I am getting bad with taking pain medicines too which is not good for me or for my wallet. I wish we have a far infrared sauna we can use so I can detoxify my body and get rid of some of these pains I am experiencing right now. I certainly need to lose weight which is one of the good effects of using an infrared sauna.

Infrared Saunas are supposed to provide people with relief from arthritis, joint stiffness, eczema, ulcers, sore throat, and is good for the skin. There are more advantages you can get from using an infrared sauna and all for your wellness. If we only have the money it would be nice to have one we can use any time we need to.

We decided to have flu shots this year. The husband already got his today when he went to his doctor for a checkup. The little man and I will have ours on the 23rd of this month. We don’t want to be sick this year that’s why we decided the flu shot route. Last year the adults got sick really bad while the little man had cold and cough. Hopefully the medicine will work on us and will not give any bad effects. This is as good a protection we can get for the coming cold months.

I decided to let the little man play with his rubber alphabet once again. I hid them in the closet for a while after he started chewing on the rubber and tore up the letter E. I didn’t think it was safe for him since he kept rubber pieces in his mouth while he plays while leaving a trail of big chunks of rubber on the floor.

Yesterday while I was cleaning I remembered the rubber alphabet and took the bag out of the closet. I gave him the letters one by one and he was just so happy he started playing with the letters right away. And even when I played his favorite DVD he just watched from a distance while still holding his letters. Wonderful, eh? Now I don’t have to search for tv lifts because I think the television is safe from the little man as long as he has his rubber alphabet to play with.

I have found a way to start somewhere on my quest to losing weight and that is to do it at home. I am not thinking or doing anything unusual. Just sit-ups and stretching. It is something to start with right? This way I don’t have to eternally think about buying diet pills or going to the gym. I started to do it a few days ago which made my body so sore the next few days, it was awful. But I know the pain is just temporary while if I continue to do this I might be able to shed a few pounds if I am lucky. I hope I will be. I hate to see my nice clothes boxed up to be given away even if somebody can use them. I can’t anymore since I gained weight. I am still a size double zero in the US but I hate the bulge in the tummy area. I need to wear appropriate clothes so as not to embarrass the husband. Let’s all hope this will work for me.

The little man went to bed early last night. He was in bed at five which made him skip dinner. He had snacks and milk before going to bed though. I told him he can only sleep an hour and then he had to get up so we won’t have to worry about sleeping late at night. Well, he got up after an hour all right but he was screaming mad. It took me a long time to pacify him, I had to leave him for a few minutes because whenever I said something he screamed. When he settled down, I picked him up and brought him back to our room since he looked like he wasn’t ready to be up yet. He then slept right back and didn’t wake up until one in the morning.

His father heard him whine and ask me what was wrong. Of course I knew he would be hungry so I picked him up and we went to the kitchen for a late night (or early morning) meal. He only ate a few spoonful of the food I gave him but he accepted another round of milk. I let him play for a while because he was really being a good boy. When I couldn’t stop my eyes from closing anymore, we went back to bed and tried to sleep. I didn’t sleep much after that. My eyes are bloodshot right now but I am not taking a nap and risk having a headache when I get up. I will just wait for bedtime later. That was the first time (except when he was sick) since he was little that we had to get up for food in the middle of the night. The only difference, he wasn’t really crying. He used to wake up screaming when he was little. At least there is an improvement. Mama will try not to do that again to him.

The husband’s eighteen year old son is trying to establish credit history. He applied on different credit card companies against his father’s advice. He wants to build credit but nobody wants to accept his applications even at a rental store. He mans the mailbox for something he has been waiting for weeks now. We don’t ask him what it is and we hope it is something useful and no more magazine subscriptions. The Best Credit Cards are like a dream to people without credit history. I can tell he really wants to have one but he feels he is running out of options. He wouldn’t listen to his father when he said it will take time and a little patience. Building credit is like laying foundation in a house, it needs time and effort.

What’s really frustrating though is one has to have credit, whether good or bad in order to get a Personal Loan much more a Car Loan. Most things nowadays requires credit history and we can’t really blame businesses to do that what with the economy in as bad a shape as it is. We talked about credit cards and financial plans yesterday and how most people have bad credit. There are only a lucky few who still have good credits because they exercise good judgement. It would be nice if there are more lending companies like BestLeadingLenders.com which provides customers with quick and no hassle loan approvals for most all credit situations.

I woke up early this morning with the persistent ring of the telephone. The husband got up and wondered who was calling very early. As it turned out it was for me. My friend (and college buddy) called from work just to say hi. I got on her a** for waking me up to which she only laughed and then asked what am I doing in bed at six in the morning. She said I should be up doing something fruitful like jogging or walking which the husband seconded saying I am sleeping too much

She calls when the supervisor isn’t around she gets the chance during her shift at work. But after waking me up this morning and talking to me for only a few minutes she hang up and never called again. Bad girl! I should have still be in bed. Since I was up I decided to fix the husband’s lunch and then got online. It would have been nice if there were good deals online but I am out of luck.

My stepdaughter loves to light scented candles in her house. She buys really exotic smelling candles too. She spends a lot of money on candles alone. I thought it was just an extravagance but I got hooked with it too. She introduced me to it and she even gifted me with Votive candle holders for the candles she bought for me. She said it makes the house smell clean and candles also calms a person’s nerves. I think she probably just hated the stink of fried dried fish that is why she urged me to buy scented candles, lol. She makes it a point to visit after I fried a lot of dried fish and if you haven’t smelled cooked dried fish yet I am telling you it is awful. That is why I only cook it once a month sometimes in between months because even I couldn’t stand the smell when it lingers for a day or two. But that will not stop me from eating dried fish though. Anyways, I have a lot of scented candles I still have to use. I can’t right now because the little bug likes light and I don’t want him playing with it.
