Friday afternoon was spent tidying up our place for the landlady’s visit the following day. Fortunately M was able to scram out from work at 5 (which is supposedly the time his work ends everyday but yeahhh, he’s always overworked!). So there we were busy watering the plants, vacuuming all the rooms, wiping off the dust from counter tops, tables, etc. M did most of the work actually while I did what my little bloating self would allow me.

We’ve amassed a big bulk of garbage over the week mostly water & milk bottles and pizza boxes. Decomposing trash goes to separate garbage bag which M drops off on his way to work during mornings. We’re such an efficient team! After an hour or two we have a spick and span place again!

Then my bad luck happened. While I was pottering in our balcony garden, I thought of arranging the plants. When I moved the cactus pot, it tilted and lost balance. My instinct told me to grab it… I grabbed it all right, first the pot but the cactus was too heavy so I held firmly on its thorny body. Utter terror! Screams of pain! M was quick to come to my rescue but my hands we’re already bruised with fine red thorns. Sakit! :( I actually cried like a small child hehehe.
