It's been days I was battling with to buy a cup of milk tea or not. The love of food side of me kept convincing me, yet the stingy part contradicts 🤣. Aside from wanting to lose weight it made me think the amount I will be spending would be enough for a day meal. 😕
This is the nearest milk tea house in my place and would cost me $3.85.
Also, the weather was cold, with drizzle and rain occasionally accompanied by strong winds. I could hear it whistling!
Oh, what a great day! We finally had a blue sky and even stayed for a while outside for Caleb to have vitamin D. I was holding him when a Food Panda rider passed by, and it reminded me of a cup of milk tea.
Since we were up as early as five in the morning, Caleb had his morning nap at past nine after bathing him.
Instead of sleeping, I prepared our food as if I wouldn't, then whom? Tinola for me and;
rice, sayote, chicken, and moringa puree for him.
After, I took my phone and finally gave in to my cravings.
It's not every day that I order. Most of the time, I prepare my own food even though I am not fond of cooking. There are even days when I didn't spend a penny because I already had stocks. Besides, I wanted to reward myself even in a simple way.
Weeks that felt like I was back to the newborn stage because my son was teething. Worn out at night, I still do all the chores. Currently, I am at the point where seeing an empty laundry basket is my happiness. Others might say, that being a stay-at-home Mom was easy. That's what I thought, too, but no. Maybe it was if you had a lot of money and could afford to hire someone to do things for you. Then, your only focus is the baby. Months at home made me realize why some mother lose their selves. I was in the process of gaining myself back physically and emotionally. What is the connection between Milk tea, then?
Oh it will help me boost my mood and feel good.
Before having a sip, I went into our bedroom to check on Caleb. What a lucky day, as he was still peacefully sleeping. So, I returned to the couch and had a moment of tranquility.
I'm leaning on the couch with a cup in my left hand, enjoying a sip occasionally while scrolling on my phone. I'm just checking online shops 😆. I'm telling you, it is the best therapy for postpartum. I had this hour of calmness until I decided to write this blog.
Yet, in the middle of writing, Caleb woke up and took over!

A drink like this can always make your day. I'm so glad you are enjoying the good weather, does your son like to look at your picture or randomly press computer keys?
Maybe it's the sugar that boosts the mood.
The photo was the home screen of my laptop. He would only smash the keyboards with his chubby hands 😆.
