Like what my daughter says, shopping indeed can make someone happy. Of course, it’s not true to everyone, but it’s true to me. Actually, I’m a great fan of it. But, I’m holding back because I don’t want to waste hubby’s effort. He is the only one working for the family, he opt for me to be a plain housewife. In the end, I find it difficult to spend his hard-earned money for myself.

However, yesterday I wasn’t able to stop myself from getting two sandals. I’m so happy while the barcode scanner is doing their job reading the labels of my footwear. Then, I feel guilty afterward. Good thing I rationalize it by thinking I really need two because my heels are already killing me. The fun did not end there because he takes me out for a dinner. After having five kids, I could not remember a time we had dinner like this. I really had so much fun with my new footwear and yummy dinner.

Growing old is never easy for me. I should not whine about it because it’s my fault for not being health conscious on my younger years, but hey it is really difficult. When I turned 50 I can feel different types of aches; headaches, body ache and joint ache. I became very sensitive to the chores. Doing those things can easily trigger those aches that I feel. That’s why I have to be very careful so not to suffer in the end.

Before, I used to sweep the falling debris in our yard. But, I can’t easily do that now because my back hurts whenever I bow down. I’m really begging my family members to buy me redmax blower. I no longer need to bow down or exert effort in cleaning my yard. It would also benefit them because they won’t be hearing my complaints after. It’s a win-win situation for all of us. Hopefully they can also see that.
