What I did today?

  • I reported to work. Did the work and logged out before 5PM. Yesterday was stressful for me, good thing today was a little bit lighter. Although I did not escape without an additional bug to my name but it is simple to fix.

  • Dude did not report to work today because she's not feeling well. I advised her to take the day off and do something she likes so that she'll forget about the stuff at her work. She made us labour of love muffins. I particularly like the dates and walnuts one.

  • Tonight the whole family went out for a walk -- apparently it's the last Tuesday of summer today.

  • I also paid some bills. I paid the credit card bill in full. It's the first time I reviewed my transactions and found out that I was charged by Amazon close to $40.00 in one day. After doing some investigation, I saw that there were some rogue downloads that went through on one day. Multiple $3.99 downloads from the app store. Turns out, it was my youngest who made the downloads. Her account is now blocked.

  • Today's the second day of my tutorials with the kids. Today's lesson is on writing. The sisters had a lesson on recounts, the youngest one was doing her letters E & F. Amazing how little time you have to allot in deliberate practice to drill some small but important lessons in their studies.

Today I Learned

  • My eldest doesn't know the concept of subject and predicate in sentences. The kids rarely read instructions in their work books. Lesson 1 is reading and understanding the instructions correctly so that they have a better chance in answering the questions correctly.

  • Block my kids accounts from buying through their devices' app stores. I will thank myself at the end of the month from unnecessary money drains.

  • Instead of jogging, I really like walking specially when I'm with dude or with the whole family, but I can always walk by myself during lunch time.

It's almost time to sleep, right now I find myself enjoying playing classical music in the background instead of the repetitive pop playlist. I think it would improve the overall mental health of the people here in the house when they listen to classical music. I also put it on to relax, and when the kids are studying maybe it helps them to concentrate.

I made a quick call to a friend tonight asking for their property broker. This is the first step to take when we want to acquire our first home ever. Let's see where this takes us. A step closer to our home in 🇦🇺 Australia I hope. I can sense it is near!

We're almost at the end of February. This month I feel that there were more fails than successes for me. So, before March begins, I'll set a maximum of three goals for myself. Three because the lesser the more focus I can give to those goals. I won't be spreading myself to thin.

With concentrated focus, you can start a fire with a magnifying glass -- anything less than that would not produce results.
