We have completed a week in July ๐ฎ Onwards to the second week. That's right! I am once again counting down to another weekend ๐คฃ

It's tough waking up on Mondays as I do wish for another day off. However, I still need to get up and get going as no one else will help me with morning chores. I'm at a stage in my life when I want to stick to certain routines and rituals as I go about my day. I do try to adapt and adjust when things don't go my way, but I do pray those days do not happen often (better if not at all).
Alive&Thriving Monday
Back to the grind for hoomans as kitties take their rest after being fed breakfast.
That's my front view while working. Glad the kitties are using the little cat tower I bought. You could say it's well used so it looks a bit run down (even though it's pretty recent -- not yet a year ๐คฃ). Oh no! my little gray ottoman storage is ripped on one side. I know who's the culprit -- one of the kitties for sure. ๐ I will just find a way to cover it. ๐ค
Honestly, I'd like to catify the flat more and lessen my stuff. It's like I will be adjusting to the kitties as they enjoy the flat among themselves. ๐ It's an idea for now. Step by step. Little by little. In fact the small book case has two open shelves, in case kitties want to occupy them. ๐น
I think my cover photo illustrates the best part of my day -- clocking out from day work. ๐ I have made it a point to give myself an hour of rest before prepping for the evening. ๐

I was doing a bit of planning in between slow times during the day. I decided I would need to prep more sandwich meals as I did have a bit more bread and I don't want wastage. So tonight, I cooked all the sliced ham I have in the fridge and will make myself ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. For dinner tonight, I reheated a leftover vegetable dish (kangkong with bagoong) and my chicken macaroni soup (sorry no photos as I was too hungry I forgot). I prefer to do cooking during the night when it's not too hot.
I thought the sky would keep on rumbling and not pour out rain. It finally rained after I have fed the kitties. In fact, I was in the process of spraying water on the terrace and the plants. I wasn't sure it would even rain so I did intend to water the plants. It sadly didn't last long. I miss rainy nights.

It's a wrap! ๐ From here on, I'd love to chill till it's time to head for bed. Wishing you a fantastic work week ahead! Nighty night from Manila. Ta-tah! ๐
