Hi everyone! Literally just a few hours away from our roadtrip and I haven't really finished packing. Gaaaahhh!!! Stress Drilon, in local beki parlance :)
So instead of finishing early, I decided to head out first to get some things..things we won't actually use for the road trip.
You see, this one other thing that stresses me the most are rats in our abode, would you believe? This started when I began to see rat droppings or feces early last week. I have a baby and a toddler on my hands and no helper at the moment (or even pansamantagal) so our place isn't exactly spic and span...but never did I see droppings like this before, even in the kids' play room. I started to investigate and I found a half nibbled Fox's candy behind the organ/keyboard. Aha! Must be from when Miss Z was playing with candies and that lone menthol probably got stuck behind the toys.
Okay, back to our mall run. This is the reason I just had to go even if I'm not yet done packing. I HAD TO get canisters for snacks, candies and whatnot since we'll be away for a while. I would seriously dread to see an infestation around here huhuhu..don't hurt us, Master Splinter haha..
Yup, been googling rats for how many nights in a row. I guess that covers barring access to their food source. The other thing they said that would ward of mice is peppermint. Well lucky me, I still have a water-based diffuser and got a Peppermint oil/solution (?) from Mia Maison. Hope this really works. Plus points for the fresh scent! :)
Of course, I took the opportunity to get some items from the grocery. I'll do an unboxing and probably a review video when I come back but let me just say how excited I am about my new kitchen best friend - the Zojirushi fuzzy logic rice cooker. It is expensive but I know it'll be worth it! Hahaha :) Please watch out for that. Syempre, I also bought brown rice and black rice which I will try with my new rice cooker since I haven't really gotten the hang of cooking them in the pot. There's something wrong I suppose with how I did it before. We'll see if it'll turn out tastier and fluffier. Besides, it's one way of us trying to get healthy, kids included of course.
Back to NOW -- Once the little baby unlatches, I can finally pack. I don't like mice but I'm a pack rat, for sure! LOL! :)
Please pray for us and the safety & success of our trip! :)
