Fair enough I was thinking, you have to put up with me dear… But no, she was feeling burnt out mainly through her J.O.B. “Why can’t I just be a stay-at-home-housewife!” she exclaims, looking directly at me. Sigh, why can’t I be the housewife instead!..Is not what I said to her in reply.

A bit bonkers this week, the parents are away which means that it’s yours truly’s turn to dog-sit for them for a couple of weeks.

Cryptocurrency Update
Reading Time: 3 Minutes “Hahahahaha…” Turns around. Oh hello! Glad to see you here, welcome welcome. Gestures to a warm, comfortable seat. Please, sit down. That’s better right – can I get you anything? Drink? Water? No? Fair enough. Forgive me, because you caught me in the middle of reading through some of my older posts. Like this one here, “4 Things I Learnt Investing in Cryptocurrency” (read here). Ah the innocence of youth… What’s that? I only wrote it less than a year ago? But it feels wayyyyy longer than that! After reading this, I think it’s time to revisit and see what’s been happening in the crazy world…
