I don't like to argue. Maybe it's because I suck at it that I would avoid to argue at all cost. Most of the time, I would shrug it off. And most of the time, I would forget about it. Unfortunately, I'm only human, and, I have bad days too. When that happened, I would not forget about it for months. You would probably shake your head and say, "you woman...".
Well, that's basically what ruined my weekend retreat to Delta Lake. It was our church yearly event. It was a bit far from where we live, and we were supposed to gather there for dinner. I was in charge of getting the direction and get everything ready to go by the time daddy came back from work. And yeah, off we went, it was dark and we had trouble finding a street. And we were a little lost and daddy was a bit mad. I didn't like it. I was like... I'm sorry I didn't look at the map in detail and if it's not left, it must be right, right? And guess what, that little thing just killed it. We got there without any problem and yet, the mood was gone. Sad to say, I couldn't get over it. I got pretty exhausted there and that didn't help either.
Anyways, let's talk about happier things. We didn't get to do much there, we had 2 long sermons and I couldn't really participate because we didn't have anyone to translate during the retreat. It was in Korean and I don't know Korean. On top of that, piggy was very busy. He sure enjoyed it. He was walking around, getting to know people, trying to play with the older kids, and learning the games they played. He has been trying to run ever since. He is getting pretty good at it, that even I have a hard time chasing him. He managed to run away with some food that I left on the dinning table a few times. And, he made a big mess in the living room with it. O, how I love my daily routine with my piggy at home.
