The pressure of life is here.
Work wise, politics start pouring in. On one hand people asked me for information, on the other hand people prevented me from replying.
After a long day, at around 6pm, no sign of carpooler preparing to leave. Another day of leaving late. Thinking about the 1 hour 15 minutes drive + grocery + gas station before I can even set my foot into the apartment.
Passed 8pm. Arrived with heavy grocery bags and a tired body. No time to sit down, head straight to the kitchen, as two mouths were waiting to be fed.
I don't know how long I can hold up to this. First of all, I hate driving, second of all, I hate doing grocery, third of all, I super hate cooking after a long day!!!
Gawd! I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteI hate to commute. I only survived at my job because it was less than ten miles from my home, around 20 minutes, for 11+ years.
I hate to grocery shop. I abdicated to my husband!
I hate to cook, precisely because there are two mouths to feed. What would I have ever done if I had had children to feed.
If it feels like pressure now, what would it feel like with a baby? Do you think that children make the grind feel more rewarding? I don't know the answer, at all. I just imagine that that's the joy that some people find in having a family.
Good luck and get some rest!
Hi Bee Ean,
ReplyDeleteOverserving how the English families eat, I think we Asian spend too much time on cooking.
My better half always ensure the family have nitritious food.. visited a english lady house last week and it was all oven chips, cheese and tomato salad. (Takes about 5 minutes to prepare).
framericaine,
ReplyDeleteI asked myself the same question, how if those waiting for me its actually babies crawling on the floor! Must be stressed out after a while.
Casper,
The French do take time to cook and enjoy their meal. Well, it seems that the British life a long life also no?
I don't like driving but will do it if no choice. Frankly I'm more scared of driving than driving itself. Am I making any sense?? Secondly I hate housework with a capital H. I love cooking though but not the cleaning up hehehe I love grocery shopping while my significant other hated going grocery shopping with me bcos I look at everything there. :p
