SIGH. What a weekend that was. I’m still left tired from all of it.

Let’s start with Saturday.

• I had to get out of the office mid-morning because my uncle’s father-in-law passed away, and my mom needed someone to drive her to Selayun because her car was blocked my someone else’s.
• Picked up my sister from STPRI, and before that, had to get her afternoon school clothes at home.
• Lunch was spent at Yayasan, just so I can get back to work in time, and my mom could send my sister back to school.
• Back in the office, I had to finish two proposals (which I had just finished this morning).
• Went home at 4.30PM, and took a nap before going back to Selayun for congregational prayer and tahlil at about 7PM.
• Left Selayun at about 9.30PM, and shopped for groceries at the nearby Giant, which thankfully closes at 11PM.
• Finished shopping around 10.30PM, and planned to bake Madeira cupcakes with cream cheese topping for Sunday’s get-together when we got home, but my exhaustion convinced me otherwise.

Then on Sunday..

• Woke up unusually early to bake and frost Madeira cupcakes before leaving the house to pick kain up from YMRM at Batu Satu (compliments of a friend/socialite for my mom on Mothers’ Day.) Accomplished baking and frosting in less than 90 minutes, but ended up with aching arms.
• Had lunch right after picking up the kain, and went to Giant again for the things we had forgotten the night before.
• Finally arrived home after half an hour of last-minute shopping. With cupcakes done, all I had to do was make baked pasta.
• Bring the pasta to a boil, create easy-to-make sauce with chicken, sliced mushrooms, and a can of tomato sauce, then found out that the sauce wasn’t enough for the pasta. I have to add that the discovery was made after I had mixed in the sauce with all of the pasta.
• So I had to go to WesMart to get more of the canned sauce, hoping that they had it in stock. They didn’t.
• Off I went to Giant, hoping that they had stocked the sauce. They did.
• Then my mom asked me to buy starch flour, and Giant didn’t have the brand that my mom wanted, so off to WesMart I had to go.
• Thankfully, this didn’t go on and on, so I could make my way home by the time flour was in hand.
• Baked my pasta, just in time for the arrival of our family members.
• Entertained them from about 3PM to a little before dusk. Entertained in every possible way.
• Was supposed to head down to Selayun for another tahlil session after the family left the house, but I was too tired to even keep my eyes open, let alone drive, so I had to pass.
• I was in a not-so-good mood when I was talking to the boyfriend last night, and he realized it. (It was hard to hide things like exhaustion sometimes.)

Just thinking about the weekend makes me tired. I’m off for now.
