Odd Smell

We smell something odd at night. Every night in fact. It is something that smells sour and makes the throat feel dry. We have the windows closed, in the midst of the stifling 37.5 degrees heat because we try to prevent this smell from entering the house. But we all know that smells, like water, can find even the smallest available hole and make its presence known.

I recounted this to a friend who suggested I contact the authorities because I feel something illegal is being done in the vicinity where we live. No surprises there considering the kind of neighbors we have. I really do think some of them should undergo rapid detox for opiates and rehabilitation. If not some should spend some time behind bars like a couple I know who did that due to selling what they are not supposed to.

I remember some years ago when I contacted the environmental agency for another odd smell, this time of burning rubber and they were able to find where these were located. Far from where we are but strong enough to reach our place.

I really hope this situation will stop soon. Sigh.

Bittersweet Day

We went to home to pay our last respects to our granduncle who passed away.

While spending time with my relatives yesterday, I saw boxes and boxes of tiles in my grandaunt’s kitchen. I thought these will be used for the cemetery but it seems like they were building an apartment complex to be used for renting.

Anyway…

It was a bittersweet day for me, listening to my grandaunt ask me to stay for lunch when the day was almost over makes me long to cry in front of her. I can’t of course because I know that if I do so, all the more that she will feel sad.

I do not particularly like the thought of getting old but I know all of us will go that way. I know I have to make the most while I still got time to enjoy life and living it to the fullest.

On our way home, we did something unusual. I was not able to enjoy it the way I would have wanted to but the fact that the children loved what we did makes me happy too.
