As of today, I’ve not gone out of the condo for exactly a week. I’ve also not started my car engine this long and I only remembered late in the evening today! Dear God, please let my car engine be good to me when I crank it up tomorrow 🙏

I’ve also not exercised since last Wednesday. I can’t wait for another week or I’ll go berserk. I think I’m going to start exercising again on Monday (12th day post 2nd AZ shot). I need my daily morning jog and the glorious morning sun to sweat it out to get my dose of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. These are brain chemicals that regulate our mood.

The lack of exercise also causes me to feel a little under the weather. I’ve been feeling tired and headachy and generally out of sorts with a little funny feeling in the throat. ** GASP** I hope it’s not Covid!!

It could be due to having too much durians. I’ve been helping myself with Musang King durians everyday for the last 2 weeks. I’ve also been staying up late to complete my writing assignments. The lack of sleep, too much of durians and the lack of exercise must be the culprit of my feeling malaise.

Life without Maria helping me is tough. My hands are so chapped and I have 4 hours less for myself everyday. I cannot wait for Maria to walk into our home again. I finally Whatsapped Maria two days ago. She’s feeling good and recovering. She’s got very mild Covid symptoms and I think it’s because she’s had her first dose of Pfizer shot.

Yesterday, our ‘wai sake mau‘ (greedy cat) jumped up the kitchen countertop when we were all busy with our work and guess what? She grabbed our new loaf of Massimo bread and bit the plastic bag open to eat the bread. Thankfully I realized it when all was so silent and I could almost smell something fishy brewing in the kitchen. Thank God Haru didn’t eat much of the bread or she will fall terrible sick with diarrhea and vomiting as her tummy can’t tolerate wheat flour products well.

I suspect that Haru’s a human trapped in a cat’s body. She has a mind like a human, behaves like one sometimes and she even knows how to answer me, I kid you not. Cat owners will agree with me on this, eh?
