So it’s not a complete week, but I’m trying to make this a ‘Monday’ thing so bear with me until I get this right! Here is a list of things that I am grateful for the past few days.

19th February 2020

I don’t know if I can exactly call this ‘gratitude’ but I am quite amused and yes, grateful that I receive money ‘legally’ (get paid usually for current/past work or any old debt) when I really need it, like today! I had enough to pull from savings, but I didn’t want to and now I don’t need to BECAUSE I GOT PAID – ahead of time to finalise some contractual obligation, I’m not complaining. Yay, me.

20th February 2020

I finally went to Kiku

I met my lovely friend Nivendra from university and his wonderful girlfriend Nisali for coffee at Kiku. The Cafe was lovely, so much so that I even posted about it on Instagam! It was so nice to meet them, I haven’t been going out much to meet people because well, I just haven’t been feeling it, but these two were the energy I needed, not too much and not too less, I would like to think that their expertise in psychology had something to do with this too haha. Also I still had their Christmas presents and Nisali was leaving to Uni soon so a meetup was necessary!

On my way home, because I was out, I thought I would go for a drink at the new Mintage closer (ish) to my place, only to find out that they didn’t serve alcohol. #Fail So I went to Keells and bought some ciders – the bottle of arrack I had at home. Sad to say though I managed to only finish two bottles of cider before getting a headache. My alcoholic father must be stirring in his grave in shame. Sigh.

21st February 2020

It was a holiday today and we got to more painting inside the house, which meant more cleaning, cleaning and cleaning for us. Nothing amusing but here are some pictures of the chaos. I guess I’m grateful that we can actually afford to work on these little projects and for my Mum’s skills in handling and managing money.

The home refurbishing/improvements/painting is still going strong!

Part II

22nd February 2020

Removed it. Those cheap screwdrivers from House of Fashions were actually useful!

I successfully managed to up my blinds on my own with some help from Mum.

Saturday! Slightly disoriented because yesterday was a holiday too. Did some more cleaning and put up my blinds with a biiiit of help from Mum.

23rd February 2020

It was a glorious Sunday! ☀️I went to watch a film in the morning while Mum was at a meeting, then had lunch with her (we cook a lot at home so don’t eat out as much) and then got some ice cream on the way back from McDonald’s. Probably the best one I’ve had in a while! ❤️

So tell me, what were you grateful for these past few days?
