Phew on the double.
Let me just begin by confessing that I've been a total slob today.
Woke up at 8:00am IST which roughly translates to post 10:00am here and didn't budge from under my sheets for the next half an hour, for I was marshalling my thoughts apart from berating myself for being such a slob.
Did I wake up to fix breakfast and cook lunch? Of course not.
Of vegetables there was nothing in the fridge and I was still feeling the discomfort of sudden onslaught of cold, considering I've not got any of my winter clothes out yet and feel at a loss still to do the same because it was only a few months ago that I got the last of them dry cleaned and stashed away, now I've to unpack those large boxes again. I don't feel it yet.
My dining table looks like a small Indian store has exploded over it what with spices and desserts and an assortment of various foods and other such things one only finds back home and I've not yet arranged them in my pantry and damned if I will today.
I'm just not ready to be immersed in the flow of things yet, my hangover hammers hard on my senses and I feel out of sync with this sudden change in scenery. Connecting to vpn alone triggered my agitation and it'll take a while for me to settle in.
The only silver lining to this gloomy cold day being the cat who realized I've come back who sleeps on my bed content after rubbing his face on mine and eating his favourite food by the gallon.
Did I mention I went vegetable shopping today and my absence had been duly noted by the fruit seller, vegetable vendor and dumpling maker.
Ah, the accoutrements in my social life makes me wonder..

Also, my dear friends the Taiwanese sent me a freshly baked hot bread and for that I'm thankful.

Let's ponder over what could be dinner..
