Calmer Weekend


The storm has passed, so the weekend started calmer. While some areas are still in the dark due to damaged power lines, major mobile networks were restored early in the day, and I'm grateful to learn that everyone in my family (immediate and distant) is safe and sound. Apart from damaged crops and such, most people in the locality are okay. Thank God🙏

My heart goes out to those who have been severely affected, those who have lost loved ones during the onset of the typhoon. I pray that they can still find the courage to go on.

Like the previous night, I had a hard time getting a shut-eye and instead found myself snacking on sesame-coated cookies around midnight.


I don't know about others, but food keeps me sane somehow, especially when I'm at the peak of worry. I know it's not a good habit, so I'm working on it.

Anyway, the sky has given us a bit of sunshine around 9 am. It was warming to the soul, even for a short while.

At midmorning, I nibbled on some colorful M&Ms. Well, it's not out of anxiety, but it's because I was relieved. The hubby says he's on the way home, yay!


The LilGuy wasn't left out, of course! He has something to chew too, albeit a little paler in color. Doggies biscuits, they must be tasty!😁


Aha... our tummies are happy!

But I was not to forget our Saturday drill. HBD Savings are still growing, 1777 now, up by 32 HBD from the last update (1755). Nothing happened with my sats though. I almost spent some tiny wee amount to test the EVM login on VSC, but I used HIVE instead.

Meanwhile, my HP has crossed 27k (27022 as of this writing). It increased by 138 during the week. It would be nice if it hit 30k by the end of the year. We'll see. Until then, we just keep on. No pressure!

I also feel sorry for those who are affected by typhoons or rain storms. We also have a calm weekend here as there's no more rain.

Your cookies seem delicious but I also love to eat those colorful balls 😋

Stay safe and enjoy the weekend

Good to know everyone is safe and sound.
I think food can be a good thing to make mood good. At least it works for many people.
And best of luck to you and I believe you can reach to 30 k HP by the end of the year.

That reminded me of something we've seen in one of the snack houses in the other town; Good food = good mood, hehe.

Thank you, Inti. Hoping so. 3k to go :)

Glad your family is okay, and my prayers go out to the families that are affected by the typhoon.
I don't think I can ever be tempted to eat at midnight, hahaha 😀
Glad your goals are moving up. Happy weekend to you, FG.

Many thanks, PB.💖

You are disciplined not to have any midnight snacks. I usually have some nibbles, lol!

When I'm worried or with anxiety, hunger goes away and I wouldn't eat anything lol

Biscuits looks tasty and well m&m are addictive

That's a good thing, isn't it? You wouldn't indulge in food when you are anxious.

M&Ms are a delight to the taste buds :)

I understand food as comfort... sometimes those little moments (and cravings) are a respite in the midst of chaos!
