What's Keeping Me Busy Everyday

So far, I'm a housewife here in Dubai, until I find a job. I'm becoming a bit more responsible, a bit is the operative word here. :-p

We have part-time maids so housework for me isn't that difficult. I don't do vacuuming, mopping, scrubbing and ironing. *phew*

But I do the laundry and the dishes. I do the regular wiping of whatever. And now when I cook, I have chop and slice everything. Not fun at all. But I enjoy cooking (swear) and hearing Steve's comments/praises. :) 

Obviously, these tasks don't last me the entire day, so what do I do from 10am to 5pm? 

1. Chat with family and friends back home, which can last for hours. :D 

2. Check my regular blogs and sites.

3. Answer emails both personal and KR. 

4. Watch TV. 

5. Nap. 

6. Go out with friends I met here.

7. Swim, which I've only done once since we moved here. Will do this more often. :D 

8. Go down to the "Community Center" for grocery or nail salon appointment or just to walk. Believe it or not, I've done more walking here than I did back home. 

9. Hang and fold the laundry. 

10. Wipe the dishes. 

11. Tidy up the place. 

There you go, it usually stretches to 7 hours and keeps me from getting bored out of my mind. 

Considering that this is my first time to live away from home (Manila), I'd say I'm adjusting quite well.

Mom has learned how to Skype, so we video chat several times a week now. And she's coming this month. :) 

I think I'll start cooking more than 2 meals a week now. Doesn't mean it will happen, but at least I'm considering it. :) 

Ok, will check on the maid now. And will do one or all on my list. 

XOXO.
