I haven't been posting regularly on what Sherilyn has been cooking and baking. Ever since Cass and Sherilyn started school, I have had very little time left to update my blogs.
My bedtime has been adjusted from midnight to 9.30 p.m. Bedtime throughout the MCO and school holidays had been a little before midnight. Now I go into my room at 9.30 p.m. and wake up at 4.45 a.m. I also have lesser time to spend online coz of school runs and my writing assignments.
I think I will not be renewing my contract with the news agency that I'm currently working for as a part-time content writer as they have recently restructured their compensation scheme. So yeah, I think I will have more free time after July 2022. Yay for more me time!
I may also be on the lookout for other freelance jobs to do from home after my contract expires this July.
Maria, our part-time helper no longer comes in 5 days a week like she used to before the pandemic. She only comes in 2-3 times a week. I had to increase her wages twice within a month as she's now getting higher wages elsewhere. She is also hired on a part-time basis to clean up a datin's house - the datin's driver chauffeurs her to the mansion and then books a Grab car to bring Maria home after work. Maria is on a roll lately with lots of jobs. I try not to be upset with her for telling me a bunch of lies each time she cancels me when she finds higher-paid work elsewhere, but I just hope that she will be more forthright with me.
Our talented baker whipped up sticky dates pudding last week as hubs brought home a pack of organic Medjool dates. The dates were super duper sweet and since no one liked them, our innovative baker baked a loaf of delicious sticky dates pudding -- which actually tasted like cake. I loved it, albeit it was a bit too sweet for my palate.
