Happy Sunday 🎉 For me, this day marks my slow day. I try to sleep more than usual and get up an hour or so later too. Then, I do clean the kitty litter boxes (my cleaner cleans from M-F only). I don't mind as I'm not pressed for time. When gardening time came, I became ecstatic as I saw new flowers in my tiny garden.

Purple wreath plant. For the first time in four years, I spotted tiny purple flowers from this vine plant. 🙌 I hope this is simply the start. It blooms beautifully as I've seen during my research so I bought this plant. I didn't know what I've been doing wrong for all these years. 😆 I'm truly thankful for my garden keeper as she seems to know a whole lot more about trimming and repotting the different plants in the container garden. 🙌

Although there's no rain forecast for this day, the sky turned really dark. Here I was thinking of heading out for my much needed haircut. I hesitated upon seeing dark cloudy sky, so I prayed for a sign. If the sun would come out, then I'd head out to the neighborhood mall. Lo and behold, the sun shone brightly for a while. I took that as a sign and prayed there would be a pedicab I could hire to take me to the mall. Another prayer answered. (It's not always available esp. on Sundays.)

Before and after the haircut. 🙌 My daughter said I now look like a tita. Before I looked like a rockstar. 😆 I honestly don't know which one is better. 😅 I certainly love short hair. It takes less time to maintain. I do not have the patience to care for long hair. 😂 I'll share some more stories tomorrow.

Slow and steady growth continues for the week. Two Sundays left in the year. Some changes to come in the new year. I had to buy more cards in rising star game. Hopefully, I can increase my balance soon. It's great if I keep getting fans card. Let's see. Christmas mission is ongoing too. Also, SWAP.HIVE:STARBITS is a recent addition to diesel pools. I'll work on increasing my shares before adding that as part of my tracking.

16 days left in 2024. Two more Sundays coming. I think it rained a bit earlier while I was in the mall. It was pretty dark when I was about to head home. I can't believe I spent around four hours there. I did get to do a lot of the stuff I needed to do. Plus I made a few purchases -- just enough so it wouldn't be too difficult for me to carry.

I actively work on these affiliate sites daily. Since I was out for most of the afternoon, I had to catch up once I got home. Thankfully, I got caught up in time.

I'll share a bit more stories tomorrow. Right now, I'm a bit tired and overwhelmed. It's another work week, so I better call it a night. Hope you're enjoying your day. Nighty night from Manila. Ta-tah! 👋
