It's Friday AGAIN

               As usual, Friday is a call for me to 'indulge' myself with the remain housechores of the week which were done only halfway due to miscellaneous in every angle. Tiring and exhausted body, mind and soul really obstructed me to carry out the chores successfully. As a result, a giant bucket of laundry and humble floor are waiting for for me this evening; to be folded and to be mopped.
 
               Since my husband was away this weekend, I gladly grab this opprtunity to pamper myself along with my precious jewel, Alya, watching films and playing board and word games. I am really looking forward for the course to end sooner. Today is the last day of my uninvited task. And I hope it worth to everyone.
