Some Advice


Gerber Daisies, love the art deco hue

Found this lovely bouquet on sale at the flower stall. Heck, my place desperately needed a pick me up after two months without a helper. Important lesson learnt - Never, ever, ever heed to advice you innately felt wrong. Ditching the helper was a bad move. I went nuts picking after the kids and myself. I was cranky and tired and the situation felt hopeless. Yes, it was that bad and it was hell.

I finally called my ex-helper. The day she came I fell ill with a pounding migraine. I was running on adrenalin the past two months, strained to the max. String loosened, the tiredness finally caught up.

It's a stupid decision made at a moment of weakness and I still berate myself for it.

What is right for everyone else does not mean it's right for you. Practice listening to yourself and backing your beliefs. Reiterating encore une fois - Never ever, ever heed to advice you feel wrong. Am I glad everything is back in sync. I have a life now.

Oh well, if I have to pay minimu 2.5K in USD per month for one... then I rather lookafter my bouquet of work myself hahaha.

thanks and yes, it's officially over, the nightmare and the migraine!!

I heard it's really expensive in Japan, like 3-4 times compared to here. It sucks. My part time is like HKD1,500 per month. Gee, what's the 1K tip for?

1500.... T_T
Can you send her over? I will be extra nice to her.

Anyways, 1k tip if for working hard... like before Christmas or Birthdays... or any other time she does over time.

1K USD!! (no one gave me a dime when I did OT! haha)
