today's work
Today I spent the whole day helping my uncle at his house, working on plastering the walls. The weather was quite bright since morning, making the work atmosphere feel enthusiastic even though the work was quite tiring. My uncle and I worked side by side, starting from preparing the cement mixture, leveling it on the wall, to checking the plastering results to make sure they were neat and strong.

Although this physical work is quite tiring, I feel happy because I can help my uncle who has been very helpful in my life. Working while occasionally sharing stories, makes the work atmosphere feel lighter and more intimate. Wall after wall began to look smooth, indicating that the work was going well.
Towards noon, I went home for a short rest. When I arrived home, my tiredness was immediately cured by the warm welcome of my wife who had prepared lunch. On the dining table, there was warm white rice, appetizing sauteed shrimp and boiled spinach as a complement. The menu was simple but tasted very delicious because it was cooked with love. My little daughter also accompanied me to lunch cheerfully, making the lunch atmosphere warm and happy.
what's for lunch
After a short break at exactly 2:00 WIB, I returned to the work site to continue plastering the unfinished walls. The sun began to lean west, but my spirits remained high. My uncle and I continued to work enthusiastically, even though we were aware that this work would not be finished today.
continued work in the afternoon
Towards the afternoon, we decided to stop the work. Some parts of the walls were not finished being polished and we agreed to continue it tomorrow or the next few days, according to the time available. Although tired, there was a sense of satisfaction in being able to see the real results of the work that slowly formed the house to be more solid and neat.
Today may be simple, but meaningful. I am grateful to be able to help my uncle, enjoy my beloved wife's cooking, and maintain my work spirit. Hopefully tomorrow I can continue with the same spirit and finish the work well.
