She works hard for the money

Forgive my week long silence.

I do not need to tell you that prices of basic commodities have been skyrocketing. My wallet has been complaining a lot so I have to heed her call and look for ways to put food inside her grumbling tummy.

In came a part time rewriting job. The pay is not big, an article cannot even buy a kilo of rice, but the the thing is there is something that I am doing. I do not know with you, but I am so tired of complaining.

We may not have had an increase for the past five years, but can we honestly say that God did not provide for the things we needed during those times? I do not think so.

Life is hard and it will definitely get harder. Instead of complaining, do something. Utilize your flower pots to plant vegetables or herbs. Save rain water for cleaning or for watering your vegetables. Anything, just do something.

Last weekend I tried improvising on a solar cooker, bought foil and lined an old black pot. As an experiment I tried cooking an egg (hoping to come out hard boiled). Began my “solar cooking” around 9 am. It was so exciting to wait for the sun to set and see how my ultra slow cooked egg would come out.

5pm finally came… *drum roll please* … when I cracked the egg open, out came my egg, as raw as it came out from the chicken’s body. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
