brain dump - 08.29.2022

Grateful that we were able to go back to church after months of hiatus. Even more grateful that it was dad who insisted we go. Thank You, Lord, for the immense growth of my husband. You have truly molded him to be in your image and a steadfast leader for our family.

Worried about ate when she told me that sometimes she can't control heeself and have to hurt someone, otherwise she's hurt herself. Lord, grant my daughter peace of mind, bless her with your calm, and let her know that she is loved no matter what her frustrations are.

Proud of kuya who delivered a thanksgiving message to a group of dentists and health practitioners who organized a program for PWDs in Biñan. We started practicing Saturday night, and he was able to deliver wonderfully today (Monday). So wonderful, in fact, that one of the hosts shed tears during his message. Thank You for using our kuya to give inspiration to others.

Our little bugoy wanted to take care of a lizard today. He asked me "diba you said it's ok to be different?" I answered, "yes." "'Cause I kept the lizard in my cabinet." Oh, my Lord, the wonders of innosense. May You keep the flame of curiosity alive in this one. May he never stop learning, never stop experimenting, never stop making our hearts beat for joy. 

Thank You, Lord, for all the blessings of family. Money is tight, but my heart is full.

Today, Miko said he prefers not to kiss on the lips anymore. Told him I feel sad but I respect his choice.

My little boy is all grown up. ❤

Quick reminders (generic)

1. When you're overwhelmed, take a long bath.

2. Make sure you have menthol shampoo on stock, just in case you need to unwind.

3. Alternative: essential oils in the bath -- my favorites are lavender or peppermint

Quick reminders (for Dahlia)

1. Use Betadine feminine wash after sex, when you have your period, and when you feel itchy down there.

2. Other that #1, no need for any perfumed feminine wash or any soaps. Clean water will do.

3. After sex, make sure you pee and wash immediately. This is a must to avoid infections.
