Alas, it's finally FriYAY ๐ŸŽ‰ As you know, it's summer here and weather has gotten way hotter again. If I didn't need to, I'd rather not use the cooling system a lot day after day. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ However, in my case, it's a choice between relief from the heat or the huge cost of the power bill. ๐Ÿ˜’ Yeah, I need to pick my poison. ๐Ÿ˜… I am quite aware that I will be incurring additional expenses due to the hot weather. I still can't help but have the above reaction. My bill is around $121.25 (converted from local currency). In cooler months past, I managed to bring it down to around only half of that cost. ๐Ÿ™„ No, it's not fun when it's summer here.

Today I received the last two items that I ordered online. One was a vitamin supplement Joint Plus and the other was milk supplement Ovisure Gold. I remember that when Mom was still around, she used to mention that she's discouraged by her doctor from drinking coffee. Mom did experience pain back then but never really needed to use a cane for walking. Well, perhaps there's something there so I believe I would be limiting my coffee intake for now and find healthier alternatives for me like perhaps matcha tea. ๐Ÿค” I admit I'm experimenting, but I do believe in alternative medicine. I need to keep seeking until I find the right combination to make me feel better. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Try and try until you succeed. Once you do, set another goal. ๐Ÿ˜… That's one good way to keep going. Well, I'm taking things one day at a time, and I have been breaking tasks into smaller action steps. I find that works better for me. The downside is the loss of momentum esp. when it comes to major decluttering tasks. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I will need to make this practice work for me, esp. since the Lenten holidays are coming. It would be good if I could somehow work on some of the clearing tasks I've been wanting to do for a while now. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก

Right now, I'm counting down days till my expected rest days from work. I pretty much just rested during my Christmas and New Year holidays, so it would be good if I could do some clearing out during my Lenten holidays. I hope I wouldn't be too lazy then. ๐Ÿ˜… Inshallah!

I'm pleased with the added earnings on my LL coop link promotion. That's so far the highest earning I've had from it. That brings my earnings so far to almost halfway to $9. I'm aiming to reach another cash out soon.

It's another ALIVE staking day. 100 ALIVE tokens added to my stakes. That brings my total to 45.1K staked, 24K delegated. My target is to have a combined total of 75K ALIVE tokens.

Right now, I'm so tempted to sleep in the main living area. ๐Ÿ˜… Bedroom is still warmer overall. I do wonder when summer will finally end. Oh well. Time to wrap things up. Do have a fantastic weekend. Nighty night from Manila. Ta-tah! ๐Ÿ‘‹

That's indeed a pretty high bill for electricity!!! I hope that you can balance between "bill" and "enjoying some coolness".

Good to hear that you received the supplement. I hope that those will provide some kind of relief from your discomfort.

Have a blissful day, Rosyel!

Imagine my dilemma during summer, right? ๐Ÿ˜– Well, I discovered something this afternoon. I waited again until the neighbors are off for the day. Then I stepped out for a bit to cool down. In the process, I left the front screen door open while I'm outside. Voila! It helped cool down the flat a little bit. !LOL ๐Ÿ˜‚ damn why haven't I done that before?! ๐Ÿ˜

have a productive week ahead Doc ๐ŸŽ‰ !PIZZA

Haha. That's a pretty zero-cost method.

Try to do it more often!

That is a very high power bill for non-USA location...

!INDEED you are correct. However, I feel that I need to make a choice between a little comfort or suffering the heat ๐Ÿ˜ฃ if only you guys can send some cool weather my way !LOL

enjoy your weekend! ๐ŸŽ‰ !BBH

I completely understand your struggle with the summer heat and the dilemma of choosing between comfort and a high power bill.
It's definitely not easy to manage when the temperatures rise, and the costs do too.
I hope you find some ways to stay cool without breaking the bank.

So true. Wish there's a way to convert the heat energy coming down the flat from the rooftop and convert it into cooling energy !LOL

Lately I find time after work hours to spend some time outside the flat esp. once the online selling neighbors and staff are gone. I open up the screen door a bit and enjoy some cooler wind outdoors. Next time around I'm thinking of getting myself a collapsible bench or chair when I do so. ๐Ÿ˜ I noticed that helps a little in cooling the flat. I pray the cooler season comes on time this year. ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก
