Knackered

We moved in just in time for Eid, alhamdulillah.

And while we have unpacked some boxes, many more remained untouched. Most were hidden in the store room and others are in the bedrooms. The main idea was to keep them out of sight of guests who came fast and furious. I was telling the husband I don't recall having to host this many number of guests in recent years so I think the attraction was for people to come by to see our new home and Eid was a nice segue to that. I think.

We didn't have a big Eid cook out because like, who's got the energy and time when all we did was unpack, vacuum, mop, wipe, repeat. Family members took pity on us and cooked for us. And in the end, we had more food than we would have if we cooked. One of life's ironies.

So in between unpacking (still!) and visiting the must-visit-relatives and hosting many guests, it is safe to assume that I am glad I am back at work. The respite won't be for too long though as we are expecting more people this weekend and the kids are bringing some friends over.

I'm too tired to even think about what we need to do to prepare for these guests this weekend. Would serving them pizza be considered bad manners...? I could ask for rendang topping to make it a bit more Eid-ish...hmmm there's a thought...
