Happy midweek 🎉 It's now a week since our local weather bureau announced the start of the hot season. Seems every day we get announcements on heat indices and reminders to keep cool and stay hydrated. If the weather does not get any hotter, then we're good. 🙏❤️💡

Hello April 🌻 Yes, it's now a new month. Finally the first quarter of the year is gone. Three more to go. At this stage, I don't know where to go from here. 😒 Sure I have plans and so far, they are moving forward a bit. I have successfully added two new electric fans -- one in the bedroom (last month) and one in the main living area (new). However, the bedroom is still hot, hot, hot. My theory is to add ventilation in the form of an exhaust fan in between the bedroom and main living area (where the cooling system is located). Perhaps that will cool the bedroom faster too. 😒 My challenge is who will install it? I guess I could try DIY as I did the existing exhaust fan in the main living area to the hallway window. Well, it was my late dad who did the original and I just replaced it when the old unit got busted. 🤔 I'll let this idea sit in my head for a few more hours. Then decide what to do. 😆

Saying good-bye to a month that brought me heartaches and pain. Well, first quarter of the year is over. Are you ready for a new month? 🤔 I'm reviewing plans I have previously set, but from here on, I will be playing it by ear for the meantime. I honestly just want to survive the year. 😒

It's finally my day off. After work, I took time out to walk to the neighborhood pharmacy / mini grocery for some needed purchases. I usually plan this a day or two in advance. It's empowering to do my own purchases really. Plus, I did another experiment and paid via local digital wallet. I find this helpful esp. if I don't have enough cash on hand.

Gosh, wish summer would go by quickly. Every day I feel like I just want to hang out in a tub (esp. during the hottest hours of the day). It's just as bad when the sun has gone down and the heat from the roof top comes down inside the flat. Lately I made it a point to turn on the cooling system from eight in the evening until around past eleven before I go to bed. No, I do not sleep with the cooling system on. I just like it that way. Sometimes I'd fall asleep on my chair and wake up around midnight and move to my bed. 😅

Happy #thankfulThursday 🎉 remember to be extra thankful on Thursdays 😆 If possible, try to be anything but grateful even for just one day. It takes practice but I'm sure you can manage it eventually. Today's topic is inspired by this YT video...
