Haru D Greedy now knows that the trash can at the dry kitchen has food scraps since the day she dug the can and found a huge chunk of KFC chicken skin that Cass threw away. Boy that was like finding a pot of gold for her! We were all busy with our things in the living room and forgot to close the kitchen door. When I stepped into the kitchen, I saw thrash strewn on the floor with the big piece of KFC chicken skin dangling on Haru’s mouth. When I reacted, Haru got scared and ran away, leaving the piece of skin on the floor 😹
Since that happy discovery day, Haru has been eyeing the trash can throughout the day. Yesterday she dug out a big piece of pau skin that Cass threw away. I suspect that Cass is deliberately throwing all the food scraps in the dry kitchen trash can as she knows that these are Haru’s favorite food. Today Haru climbed up the dining table and stole a piece of sourdough pancake when Cass let her out of the cage but didn’t watch her. Both Cass and Sherilyn were attending online lessons and I was washing the bathroom. When I came out, I saw Haru with a chunk of sourdough pancake on the floor.
Haru oh Haru, why are you always so hangry? You’re well fed but you behave like a stray cat eyeing everybody’s food all the time. 😹
Covid-19 has changed the way most of us purchase our necessities. In a short 1.5 years ever since the start of the pandemic, many of us have now switched to online shopping as many physical retail outlets all over the world are closed due to lockdown measures. Ever since the authorities imposed a movement control order in our country in March last year, more than 50% of my purchases have been switched from physical shopping to online shopping. Initially I didn’t really enjoy online shopping as I wasn’t familiar with how I should go about to get free shipping and cashback. But after I’d finally figured out that by just spending a couple of minutes several times a day on the shopping platform, I could collect free shipping vouchers, cash back vouchers and other freebies. The prices of the items in my shopping cart sometimes go down too. These vouchers have helped me save quite a bit from my online purchases. Besides, I get to save on petrol and parking and most importantly, my time, through online shopping.
Ever since we fostered Haru, a stray kitten, I have to do quite a bit of shopping for her. From cat litter to wet food, cat snacks, cat milk powder, litter tray, cat toys, catnip to scratch board, I never knew that having a cat involves so much shopping! Thankfully I can get all of Haru’s essentials from pet shops online without having to leave the safety and comforts of my house. The next on my shopping wish list for Haru is an enclosed covered cat litter box. Haru’s current litter box is not covered and she, who’s an OCD cat (just like her human mom!) sometimes causes a mess with sand strewn everywhere with her obsessive digging and covering up after she’s done with her deed .
Online shopping has helped me keep my sanity in check throughout the lockdown. Many of my friends are finding the same thrill scouting and shopping for cheap stuff like house plants for sale and cheap household storage products during the lockdown to beat the cabin fever. One friend even bought cheap condoms during a sale and was tickled pink with her cheap finds that she posted about her purchase on social media.
Analysts and e-commerce companies like Aoin predict that the growing trend of online shopping is here to stay even when the pandemic is over. As I have now mastered the art of online shopping to save money and time, I prefer online shopping over mall shopping. Of course, I do miss mall shopping but I think I’m going to stay safe at home for some time until the pandemic in our country is under control and it’s safe for us to venture out again.
The durian season is back and the durian lover in me is back with a vengeance this year as I hardly had any last year. We’ve been having Musang King for brunch almost everyday the past one week and my cravings for MK durians is still not 100% satiated yet 😬
Thankfully this year we don’t have to break the bank to get the MK durians. Hubby is helping his best friend sell the durians and he gets the durians at a steal and sometimes at no cost. That’s what best friends are for. They’re no fair weather friends and they help each other out in good and bad times.
Are you droooooling already? These MK durians are creamy with thick, bitter sweet pulp and I don’t get the sting in my sensitive throat after eating them. These durians are grown in orchards free from the use of pesticides.
If you want to taste these to-die-for Musang King durians, you can contact Alan at 019-898 1881. The durians are sold online or via phone call/Whatsapp. The durian pulps will be delivered via Grab, free delivery within Taman Desa or you can pick up at Taman Desa.
As our loved ones get old, there are essential needs and extra care that we cannot fully provide. This is because most of them are subjected to diseases associated with aging and lack enough energy to handle things by themselves. Most people find taking their loved ones to the assisted living communities negatively, which may seem to society like you are neglecting them. There are many benefits on why you should find it essential to take your senior loved ones for assisted living; more details are provided below.
Medical care
Home-based care can be a bit expensive, especially if you are not financially prepared to take care of your loved one. This is because it requires one to seek professional medical help, furnish their rooms with the best medically proved furniture, and purchase assisted living equipment. With a good institution such as asenior living in Fort Myers, everything is well accounted for your loved one. They are best equipped with professionals who handle different medical issues. This is the best way to help your loved ones with any illness they may be suffering from.
Socializing
It would be suitable for your loved one to be in a place with people of the same age and probably handle the same health issues. It makes them socialize best together as well as develop healthy relationships. Most seniors tend to live alone at times, which makes them end up in depression, which cannot be managed when they graduate.
Assisted living
There are personal services that family members can shy off from attending to their loved ones. In assisted living homes, they offer professionals who help them take baths, clean their clothes, and help them around.
Living with senior loved ones can be quite challenging; this is because there are some needs that you cannot fully attend to them with. Choosing a good assisted living community is the best solution for their comfort.
