Betterlife, Thediarygame (October 08, 2024) | Cloudy Tuesday, Keep Up The Spirit Despite The Rain And Storm

---

It's the rainy season. Almost every day it rains with light to heavy capacity. The leaking roof tiles finally couldn't hold the rainwater until it finally seeped and made my house leak. In this rainy season, I am very aware of flooding and every time there is a flood, my house is almost always submerged and it is very troublesome for us.

Like the morning sun that looks unenthusiastic, I also look unenthusiastic because the cold conditions often make my rhinitis allergies recur and it is very uncomfortable.

^{my breakfast, simple spaghetti}

---

Usually, I cook Spaghetti on weekends, but the cloudy weather this morning made me really want to cook it and eat it while it's still warm. It's Tuesday after dropping Afiza off at school I went to the kitchen and got into action.

After breakfast, I cleaned the table and then went back to my room, took my blanket and went back to sleep. I'm really not in the mood, like Bruno Mars' song, "Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed"....

^{accompanying Hamzah to play with his cat and bathtub}

---

I sleep?... Of course not. My eldest son woke up and yes, it's morning! I can only close my eyes while walking? Of course not!

"Bangun tidur ku terus mandi, tidak lupa menggosok gigi,.. Habis mandi ku tolong ibu, membersihkan tempat tidurku....". 🎤

Singing while doing activities is very effective as a spirit medicine.

After taking a shower and having breakfast, Hamzah always plays with his black cat. And that's the instinct of children and animals, he will not hurt humans if the human does not have a grudge. Hamzah has started to walk and with his bathtub, he plays in and out. I am also entertained by their funny behavior.

^{lunch with beef soup}

---

Time to cook! Hamzah is already 1 year old and usually he sleeps in the morning at 10 am. After putting him to bed, I usually go to a shop near my house and buy lunch ingredients. I get vegetable soup and maybe this can be a delicious meal, especially when eaten in rainy weather like this.

I have some pieces of beef fat and bones. I boil the bones to get the broth and then add all the soup vegetables. Don't forget to add tomatoes and fried onions at the end. It tastes really delicious. 🤤

^{checking my health with the village midwife}

---

Because I couldn't stand it anymore, finally after dinner, I went to the midwife's house and checked my health. When I weighed myself, it turned out that I had lost almost 3 kg and that surprised me a little.

The midwife suggested that I get plenty of rest and take care of myself so that my body stays warm and if necessary wear a mask when doing activities outside the room or else I have to go to the hospital if it gets worse. I was given medicine and after that I wanted to eat something.

^{Jhoni bread is approved to be eaten when it rains like this. 👍}

---

After leaving the midwife's house, I went to Simpang Rangkaya to buy some food, but unfortunately... When we arrived, suddenly heavy rain fell and all the lights went out. We stopped at a closed shophouse while trying not to get soaked and to keep Hamzah warm in my arms.

I was very scared because the rain was getting heavier. We waited for 1.5 hours and after it had subsided a little, we decided to go home immediately, but in the middle of the road, there was a bakery that had lights and we ordered Jhonni bread. This is bread with a filling like a burger but its shape is up to 50 cm long.

---

When I got home, I immediately tidied myself up and put Hamzah to bed, I was sure he had fallen asleep from the start. After that, I ate the bread and rushed to the roomand rest. The rain continued to fall and we were thankful that we didn't get soaked.
