Alive & Thriving Monday : The Gift of Time || AATYr5 || Slice of Life šŸ˜†

It's the season of gift-giving. I'm sure a lot of folks have already wrapped their gifts. šŸŽ„šŸŽ I do hope we also remember that time is one of the best gifts we could ever give. I think that's one of the biggest gift I'd get this year as it's the last working day of the year tomorrow for us. The boss decided we'd be closed from the 25th and resume work on January 6th 2025. šŸ˜Ÿ That's a first in a long time indeed! I do wonder what gives?! Not gonna ask though. I'll just focus on how to make good use of my time off from work. After all, there are lots of tasks that I'd want to do but never have enough time. On the other hand, I think I get it all wrong. I'm in the habit of saying, "So many things to do, so little time." Perhaps I'm not meant to do all those things. Maybe what I need is consider what time I have on hand and simply do things accordingly. šŸ˜… #foodforthought

I just realized it's Christmas eve tomorrow, and I will be cooking spaghetti sauce like we do annually. I'm settling for ready made sauce as it's only me who will be enjoying it. I did make a decision to add something new to my celebration -- a cake! šŸŽ‚ We're not cake people, so that's something different for me this year.

I hunted online via Grab Food to find the cheapest cake I could buy for myself. This is almost five dollars (288PHP) plus add a dollar for delivery fee.

Cappuccino creme petite cake. That's how tiny it is (that's my regular sized kitchen scissors). Crazy how everything is so expensive these days. šŸ˜‚ Well, I hope to enjoy this cake with my quiet celebration. I pray it's delicious and worth it. šŸ¤£

8 days left in 2024. If I remember correctly, I made a video last year for welcoming Christmas. Let's see if I could do the same again this year. šŸ˜… It's my second year of celebrating alone (but I do have the kitties and the guinea pigs with me).

I work on these affiliate sites daily. Main focus is LL as I've cashed out a few times there already. At the moment, I'm near $4.

Well, it will be Christmas all over the world tomorrow night. šŸ˜‚ I'm quite ahead of some of you. See you on tomorrow's post. Do have a fantastic day. Nighty night from Manila. Ta-tah! šŸ‘‹

Time is money, I know you will make good use of it. By the way, we will like to have a taste of the spaghetti sauce as part of the Christmas vibe.
