Got up at 8am today despite falling asleep around 1am. Perhaps I was able to make full use of my 12-hour sleep on Friday night, that I’ve been able to get as much energy I need for the day, not that there was much to do. It was, however, something that was programmed in my head to go up the roof and do some roof-cleaning. It’s been leaking the past few days due to unpredictable and sudden intermittent rains, and now there’s another typhoon in the country.
More than anything, I got excited about the weather. It was a bit windy and drizzly and not as warm, unlike the past few days that it had already been warmer at 8am. Fortunately it lasted until 10-ish that I felt I was able to accomplish much cleaning and pruning of my oak tree. Turns out, my Celtic tree sign is the Oak which I didn’t know until this week, which made it even more symbolic and motivated me more to do some clutter-lessening.
As the tree, which is a bit over 2 years old since it was transferred from a pot that accidentally grew at our Brio condo in Makati, it’s now about three storeys tall when we planted it at the backyard. I had wanted and wished it to be fruit-bearing tree as it’d make more sense, but now with this awareness, it’d probably be another think-over before I cut this tree down.
I’m a little distracted now while watching the local weekend documentary KMJS, so this won’t be as metaphoric or dramatic, but I’ll still try.
After cleaning the roof gutters from dried and liquefied muddy leaves, I started seeing dried small branches. You’ll know that it was no longer useful because you can easily snap them off the bigger branches. You know, just like people in your lives that won’t be of much help in giving a nice breeze, or greenery in your life.
It just felt therapeutic.
Bye
Needless to say, this must be done regularly.
