I am Home, Finally….

Since we only have a half day duty yesterday, I planned to go home as early as possible but then the time I spent at the grocery to purchase Erin’s milk thwarted my plan. The grocery store was short of manpower. Some of the counters were closed for reasons I do not know. The throngs of queues were overwhelming and I was disgusted. The cashiers were also slow that I wanted to scream. I was on the verge of losing my patience; but for my niece’s sake, I have to endure it or else, I could not buy her milk. Finally, I was able to get out from the store with the can of milk in my grocery bag. I excitedly went to the house I am renting to pick up my things and then proceeded to the bus station only to see the bus which I am supposed to ride was already leaving. Hmmm…I have to wait again. Good thing, another bus which is headed for my destination was already boarding passengers so I competed with other passengers who like me were also in the hurry of going home. I was able to get a comfortable seat despite the chaos.

I was able to get home around 5:30p.m. It was starting to get dark and it was already raining. I found my nephew EJ still playing. I kissed him and gave him his favorite treat, a tetra pack of Chuckie. He was so excited about it. My little niece Erin was peacefully sleeping in her makeshift hammock. I wanted to kiss her but thinking of the germs that I brought in, I decided against it. I kissed her later after I washed myself up.

I was planning to sleep early as I was so tired from two hours trip. However, I was not able to do it. I spent the night talking with my sisters, Elanie and Eleonor. I tried to get online but to my dismay, I cannot establish a good internet connection. I turned off my laptop and continue chatting with my sisters. We slept around 12m.n.
