How am I coping?
This is the question I am often asked these days.... my answer is "So far, I am still fine..."
Life is slightly different... a month ago, my routine has changed, especially towards the evening. Nowadays I spend more time facing two "Square Boxes"... one Big and one smaller in size... my two eyes will be facing my faithful laptop and my two ears will be listening to the Chinese drama showing on Astro....
On some evenings, I will take dinner with my siblings and on other days, I eat out with my friends. I am beginning to feel that it is back to the good old days when I was still "single" but when it comes to weekends, it is totally different... I am a mother again....
Am I having the best of both worlds? I got to console myself with that.......
Husbands, love your wives...
Wives, submit to your husbands....
Do treasure your time together .....

I am not surprised that I would get infected with Covid virus again, I have myself to blame for I did not wear masks ever since I came back ...
Sooner or later, you will get used to being alone in the house, in your own room or perhaps cooking for yourself. While the routine of life on weekdays can be quite uninteresting, there will be more anticipation when the weekends draw nearer. Kids are coming home, more joy and laughter. Though this hardly lasts more than 2 days, it is good enough to compensate the dullness you get on the five boring working days. Have a nice weekend ahead. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad your husband passed away at such a young age. Now, you are experiencing empty nest syndrome, with the kids gone. With my older daughter married and the younger daughter studying on the mainland, I am alone quite a bit. Hubby is home in the evenings but likes to spend lots of time at the gym, too, so I don't see him that much. That's why I love to blog!!!
ReplyDeletePam, I am getting used to it... nowadays spending more time with my mom and siblings.. having dinner together with them is regular now and I like it too! :) but when weekend comes, it will be different type of noise.. :)
ReplyDeletegigi, I guess each of us have to experience this one day, somehow or rather.. do treasure the one beside you....
ReplyDeleteEverybody will come to this stage. It is good you spend more time with your Mum and siblings.

ReplyDeleteCheer up, Claire. At least you have your mum and siblings to eat dinner together during weekdays and your kids coming back during weekends. Big hug to you.
ReplyDeleteYou will get used to it. Like me, I am getting used to be alone with my kids in the evening while hubby work late or having night out. Hahha! But on weekend, we still stick to the Family Day no matter what.
