圆

终于，双亲都要回来了。

将会是个不容易的过程，感恩情人老婆仔的策划和安排。

真的没有她我该怎么办？

有种团圆的感觉，但其实又不是，毕竟妈咪还是需要住在疗养院…

总之，回来同一个州，在靠近的疗养院就是比在越洋他州好啦。

爸比也是需要人照顾的了。

希望我能够尽孝道，做个孩子应该做的事啦。

立春

今天立春，癸卯（水兔）年的开始。兔年快乐！今天这样祝贺我就不觉得有违和感了，呵呵。

今天开始到明年立春前出生的宝宝就是属兔的啦。

天干又一轮了，明年又回到甲（木），配的地支是晨（龙），所以明年的甲子是甲辰（木龙）。

希望癸卯年的开始可以转一转我至今不是很好的运啦…

太忙了，不然还真的很想继续研究下八字，再了解多一些。

二月啊二月

期待的二月是一个全新的开始、一个美好如意的月份。

现实是起床开工加入全公司大会的短短几分钟后，最大的老板就抛了一个原子弹，毁灭了全新美好二月的希望。

其实不是二月而已，而是毁灭了整年的期盼。

没得加薪也罢了、没有花红也罢了、没有奖励金也罢了，还要强制减薪，我的天啊～

真的是狠狠的当头一棒！

整个人都不好了。

唉…

Need a boost

Today's the last day of the first month of 2023. A month over in a blink of an eye.

To me, it has been a discontented, lethargic, inefficient, apathetic month. A lousy and unsatisfactory month.

Motivation is low, energy level is low, spirit is low, mood is low.

I seriously need a booster, a bundle of positive energy or something.

Hmm... am I in a depression bout?

My inner voice is howling "somebody save me!"

Mess

Nearing the end of the first month of 2023, what a mess it has been for me thus far.

Energy level has been consistently low, work efficiency is lower than I like, and feel like I am constantly behind and playing catch up.

It's definitely not the start of a new year I wish for.

Could do without the ever present stress from both work and family, the daily low energy level, the persistent negativity, the sense of out of control.

Not a good start, hope February will be better.

I pray with all my heart.

Recharge time

Back after a week away, Chinese New Year visit to the in-laws.

Back alone, as wifey and the kids decided to stay a few days more.

Abandoned is too strong a word, but I can't think of another word. This is not the first time anyway, and I am fine with it.

I like the reunion, the gathering, the yummy food, the laughters, the fun time. I am close to the in-laws, so these are quality times.

Unfortunately as an introvert I expend energy in such social activities, and I only have a finite energy reserve. The lower quality sleep and being sidelined by wifey as usual when she is with her family did not help. I am severely lacking in hugs and kisses, cuddles and caresses.

While I understand and anticipated being ignored, what drained me is her bad-tempered, irritated and angry tone, specially reserved for me when we do get to talk. Like I said many times over, how I wished she could use the tone she speaks to her parents and siblings with me, instead of reserving the worst for me.

So after seven days out and left to dry, I am completely drained and am desperately in need of some 'me time' to recharge.

Socialising is tiring.

初二

二零二三年的甲子是癸卯，就是水兔年咯。

今天是农历新年的第二天，初二*。虽然很多人很有创意（或只是抄袭别人）的把兔字放进新年祝贺词语里，但其实现在还不是兔年。
*写完上载时已是初三了

今年立春是二月四日，立春前还是壬寅（水虎）年，所以立春前出世的宝宝还是生肖虎的，是水虎尾巴宝宝。

还没有对八字有兴趣和看了一些相关的书前，对什么甲子啦、立春啦，都没有什么概念。现在略懂后，总觉得在立春前就祝贺来着的甲子有点怪怪的。

其实换个思维，把它想成是提前祝贺又不觉得怪怪的了。

可能是因为知道很多人其实是误会农历新年就是新的甲子的缘故吧？
