Same car/person

When you have route that you routinely drive pass. You see people waiting at the bus stop or car that parked on the side of the road. And all of the sudden one day they were not seen anymore. And I am like what happens to that particular person? Did something happen to them?

Wishing them all well!

What ifs

When you have what if questions, it probably means that either you are not satisfied or have regrets in your life. Who has not!?

What if I stayed in my home town for my life? What if I never move out my home? What if I married a different person? What if I stay with my marriage? What if I have done this or that earlier? What if I didn’t do this or that? What if I make a different decision?

I have been searching my heart for bunches of questions here and there. There is at least one thing that I never regret about it. My kids, they are the precious gifts from God to me.


Handheld Blender

Pros: Efficiencies on blending/purée and right in the same container/pot/cup/serving dish, Good price, Take up small space to store it

Cons: Smells if use for too long

In between the Pros and Cons: Easy to clean but make sure dry them at least one day after washed because it does have some tiny gaps that is hard to see and reach.

Overall, it’s a wonderful kitchen gadget.

Sorbet

I made Pineapple Banana Sorbet using 6 bananas and a whole medium size of pineapple.

Here are the pros and cons. 

Firstly of course its cool for the hot summer and you can use the whole pineapple, including the core, but not the skin though, and again, you can have your kids to eat more fruits even some fruits they may not very fond of.

The disadvantage is its kind of easy to gorge too much which is not healthy. Overeating may harm your health even the healthiest food. So make sure watch out for how much to consume.

Rain

 It rained this morning. Hooray! But only for a couple of second literally! No kidding!

One day after the vaccination

COVID-19 vaccination will help protect you from getting COVID-19. You may have some side effects, which are normal signs that your body is building protection. These side effects may affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days. Some people have no side effects.”

“On the arm where you got the shot: Pain Redness Swelling”

“Throughout the rest of your body: Tiredness Headache Muscle pain Chills Fever Nausea”

So compared to my first and second dose of vaccine. Both had pain, redness and swelling except the second dose was more serious than the first dose on the arm where I got the shots. And I even did some arm exercise to help relieve the discomfort of my arm.

Also for the first dose I didn’t have those symptoms through my body. But one day after the second dose I had all symptoms mentioned on the CDC Website, except I didn’t feel nausea.

In the morning after drop my son off to work I stayed in bed (sleeping) most of the time, except to take fluid (lemon water aka sugarless lemonade) and use the bathroom. Somehow I felt chilled at the beginning and after that at a point I could not barely stand the heat from inside of me I had some frozen grapes. Yeah, not ice cream first of all I was not a kid and most importantly we didn’t have any ice cream at home otherwise I would take that no matter what. I used the ice pack to help to relief the hot flash as well. And of course I had the towel to wrap around the ice pack otherwise it would be too cold.

Luckily, right before the time that I was supposed to pick up my son from work I was fully recovered. Thank God!  The prayer, the Bible and my favorite radio station, KLOVE were my best companion at all time. The end.


雷陣雨

Was it just had a thunder shower minutes ago in Southern California.

It only came and gone in a couple of minutes, weird!

Cov-19 vaccination

When I was getting the first shot I had merely any feeling of pain or anything and it was done really quick too. So I was joking with my son maybe she just pretended to give me the shot.

For the second shot it was not just I could feel the pain and it took a lot longer than the first shot I wondered why?

I wasn’t sure if the two of the people who gave me the shots were same person. But the first person was quite merrily when she gave me the shot. While the second person was kind of inpatient. And that truly irritated me.

Chicken soup

When the kids had their vaccines I cooked chicken soup for them. But for my own vaccination I totally forgot about it. Oh well, I just have to make to drink a lot of fluid. 

Cov-19

Had my second dose of vaccine this morning.

Though California's coronavirus restrictions lifted Tuesday, the majority of the people that I met this morning, still had their mask on only two of them were not. Happy about people were paying precautions about it, but sad at the same time wondering when this normal life will be back again. 

There are still the variants that we need to worry about.

I had my first dose of vaccine around three weeks prior of my birthday therefore I am one year older by the time when I had my second dose of vaccine.

Empty Nest

I can totally feel the feeling of empty nest, though my kids are just going to work and visiting friends.

At times I felt lonely, empty, sad, fear, worrying, uneasiness…

Knowing that there is one day they will really leave this nest and have their own. 

But surely on the other hand, I truly feel thankful for their independence and such.


三的成語

早上吃了三個香菇,讓我想起“三姑六婆”的成語。

還有其他有關三的成語。

不三不四、三妻四妾、沒有三兩三不敢上梁山、三三兩兩、三番兩次…

以前背成語是不得以,為了應付考試。但現在確覺得非常有趣。

有多少成語你還記得或是認得的?

不知到“一二三木頭人”,也可以算是嗎?^_^
