I’m not sure what’s worse about this picture – the cat seems to be enjoying this or the fact there’s not an adult present.

#WeekendCoffeeShare: Taking Responsibilities
Good Saturday morning and thank you for joining me for this lovely chat. I’ll first apologize for making you get your own drink this morning as I’m a little bit under the weather. As for me, I’ll stick to my cup of tea.
It’s the worst time for me to get sick especially when I’m supposed to travel to China in a few days. It all started with a headache early this week. I took some Advil and the headache seemed to had gone away.
I was well on Wednesday but on Thursday, I woke up with an itchy throat but I didn’t think it meant anything, I thought it was probably the dryness and gloomy weather. Then on Friday, I woke up and it seemed my itchy throat only grew worse. I began coughing and after a few coughs, I said, “Oh my gosh!” out loud and that was definitely not my normal voice.
I began to panic. Am I coming down with something? Didn’t I heard somewhere that a flu begins with an itchy throat? I sure hope I’m not coming down with a cold or worse the flu. I haven’t been sick in over a decade. I can’t get sick. I can’t be sick. At least not right now.
On Friday, I spent the morning drinking water, hoping it would soothe my throat but it didn’t work.
Meanwhile, I was as busy as heck. With only one day remaining, I’m not even sure if I can complete everything. I am starting to feel like my co-workers have been stalling me, making me check and re-check numbers from hundreds of invoices. They don’t seem to trust anyone’s numbers and the more they request the vendors to revise the invoice, the worse things get. The vendors seem more confused than I am now.
My mom and others keep telling me I’m being too responsible. “Why should you care?” They all would say. “You’re leaving anyway. Why should you care about whether the numbers are right or wrong?”
Because it’s my books and reputation on the line, that’s why. I have to take responsibility for the entries I recorded during the last year. Besides, doesn’t leaving a job require tying up loose-ends to avoid future problems?
Maybe I should stop thinking about such things and focus on something more positive like I only have one more work-day before I leave this mess behind and board a plane for China. Yeah, that’s something great to look forward to.
If we were having hot drinks, I would thank you for joining me this weekend. I must now go get a flu shot for precaution and hopefully, I can join in next weekend in China.

My mom has been on a craze lately. Every weekend since Christmas, she had been calling her friends in Salt Lake City, persuading them to go out. We (meaning me) would be the guide. Continue reading “Photo of the Day!”

I think this is a good quote for this Monday:
When people hurt you over and over, think of them as sandpaper. They scratch and hurt you. But later you’ll be shining and polished, while they end up useless.

#DSFWeeklyRewind: Busy Week with Outing
Good morning and thank you for joining me on this first Sunday of 2018. Wow, it’s been a while. The last #DSFWeeklyRewind was on Christmas Eve and since then, a lot has changed.
First of all, as I mentioned in my previous post, I am almost at my first weight goal. Woohoo! And this week will be my last full week at work.
My mom had been constantly asking me if I really want to quit my job and I told her many times yes and I am not changing my mind. Why should one work at an unhappy job? We have to work most of our lives, shouldn’t we choose to work in an environment we’re happy in?
Now, let’s talk about last week. After all, this is a “rewind”, not a “fast forward”. My mom and I along with her friend visited my former student’s mother on the 30th and ended up spending most of the next two days with them.
Park City
When I asked my mom why we’re taking them to all these places, she explained that if we show them all these places now, they will be able to find their own way to these places in the future without our help.
Excellent logic, mom.
So from early morning to late at night, we were basically together with these people. I felt I had a hard time communicating with them because I don’t speak fluent mandarin and they don’t speak a word of English. At times, I found it difficult to explain my thoughts in Chinese. I really hope I get to work in a English-speaking environment after I come back from China because I can feel my English declining as I speak mostly Chinese not only at my current job but just about everywhere.
Speaking of, yes, I am going to China in 9 days! I purchased my ticket on the last Thursday of 2017. This will be a short trip and I intend to make the most out of it. Hopefully I won’t gain five pounds while over there.
As for work, last week was a very busy week as I begin to close the 2017 books. It’s quite messy because the others seemed to be stalling in giving me their expense paper work. Hopefully, I can get it done by the 15th because that’s my last day. Ugh, I think I’m way too responsible sometimes.
As for gratitude, as I stated in my earlier post, I am grateful Mother Nature brought snow and rain because otherwise, I would’ve had to wake up at 5 AM to join my mom and my former student’s mother for a one-day trip to Bryce Canyon. I definitely would not be ready to wake up at 5 AM on the weekend.
However, since today’s weather is nice, my mom made plans to go to West Wendover, Nevada. I spent most of last night debating with myself on whether or not to go because I really wanted to go clothes shopping but at the same time, tagging along might be a good opportunity for me to collect some new photos of the Bonneville Salt Flats.
I guess we’ll see. Until next weekend then.

Growth
I haven’t seen much growth in these parts yet, it’s still freezing and snowing. Therefore, I’ll just have to use some of my old pictures for this challenge.
