For those not familiar how we work here in the sandpit, we have five and a half working days. Yes, 5.5 days. That’s not all. We start our work week on a Saturday when the rest of the world is just enjoying their weekend. Some companies have 5 working days, some have 6 working days … we have 5.5. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing because you go to work in the morning and leave by 3 pm (only 3 more hours before your normal shift ends). Most of the time, we end up leaving way past 3 pm!
Anyhow, we had a semi-long weekend a couple of days back due to Islamic Holiday (Isra Wal Miraj or ascension of the Prophet). I say semi long because some companies has 3 long days off while I had 2.5 days.
I had planned on doing a lot of housekeeping and organizing during this time. Also, I wanted to check shops for sale items since Dubai Summer Surprises started. Here’s the plan:
- Organize wardrobe – throw unwearable items / donate old stuff / try on pre-pregnancy clothes (and hope they fit!! … of course that’s wishful thinking)
- Organize our Medical File – our files are all over the place. I want to have a proper file thingie.
- Purge and Clean – discard whatever — papers, old unused stuff …
- Delete Files on PC – files that are really not worth keeping… I swear I have a lot of them!

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!
I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.
Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.
Well, I got a lot of housework done but the downside is that I’m tired at the start of the week!
