Went back to my parents’ place for dinner on Tuesday because it was Mid-Autumn and I hoped they wouldn’t feel too lonely on the festive day. My parents were arguing over little things throughout dinner. The argument didn’t stop as they drove me home after dinner. I felt miserable seeing my parents bickering like that. Will they be alright after I move back to Canada in less than a month? Worried, but it’s beyond my control other than leaving the matter to God in my prayers.
Wednesday was a public holiday and I spent the day at home to finish some designs for my calligraphy work to serve as reference materials and also farewell gifts for my Chinese calligraphy class and other friends.
Continued cleaning my house and studio. My brother-in-law drove me to work on Friday so that I can bring back a mini 3D printer to the studio. Spent the entire afternoon at home on Saturday to clean up the apartment. Finally got to clearing out the mountain of waste (mostly cardboard packaging) in the living room. Dropped off the waste to a nearby recycling station in three trips. Felt accomplished and relieved after successfully tackling the heap of trash that had been sitting in the living room for years! After some hard work this week, I think I’m about 80% done cleaning up my apartment and work studio! Much more to do in coming weeks. 💪🏻
