Plans
After my workout
After my lunch
I will throw myself
To kitchen arrangements
The weather is just right
And I have been waiting for an opportunity to rearrange the drawers and spice rack for a while
Today
It is going to be the kitchen along with an audiobook and a mug of coffee.

perfunctory
The hour long rains yesterday have greatly uplifted the weather, my mood however remains in the doldrums; not least because starting tomorrow are October holidays and we aren't traveling to any place which is fine! but that means that I'm going to have to stay at home and spend this time with a man whose natural habitat is office!
There's no point feeling remorse for what can't be undone.
I think I will just sulk in a corner somewhere.
Right then.
Morning and it's been hectic as per usual and I have now finally found time to make me some tea.
I think I will have it in the backyard which is now cool and comfortable.
Sadness is that I have no toast to eat with.
I think today I will make some bread.
What is it then Thursday you say?
Up and at em.

Oh come on
Guess who ended up soaking in the rains five minutes after they had completely stopped? 
I mean one moment it was nothing and the next it was almost like someone upended a bucket on my head. Bang in the middle of my commute too. :(
And then there was today
Who me? 
Standing by what is very wrongly termed as a river because of how green and funky it looks and drinking coffee.
I have just picked up my shoes and I wonder whether I should buy some plants.
The problem is it looks like it might rain.
Also there's a decathlon in front of me and I need a new skipping rope.
Decisions.
Also how on earth I my ride goons hold everything?
The damn thing is so tiny. But there are scooters even tinier than this. You wouldn't believe it.
I will put some pics of tiny tiny scooters that people actually use on a daily basis.
Crunch it is
Lunch then! 
cold buckwheat noodle salad with a swanky sesame dressing.
Oh this is what I need today.
This is it!
This weather although not hot and humid is stifling and I need something to care for me from within.
Come heal me!
Oh this! Today then
Wednesday and I am finally done with it all this morning and I sit in my backyard sipping tea and chomping toast, wondering when will this weather hit me just right?
I am sitting outside but make no mistakes it's not cool as I'd want. In fact it's a bit warm and the weather could use some pleasant breeze, but no!
At least the shade is comfortable and my tea is magnificent. I guess that evens out some?
I think it's become a part of my every alternate day routine to rake leaves, encounters toads and frogs, sweep away dead and ant eaten earthworms, dump dried leaves into the compost and wonder what all I can do to better this space.
Right now it looks ridden with mounds of soil and chunks of cement, covered with falling leaves which I keep composting.
On a happier note, a lot of my seeds have now begun to sprout and there are tiny nascent leaves beginning to crown out of their soil bed.
I am looking forward to their growing and maturing and hoping that at least half of this crop survives.
Today I think I will finally go and pick up my dry cleaned shoes. Hoping they have it on them this time and that it's not still getting processed.
Also, maybe, I will pick a few plants on the way back.
I'm sure my scooter can handle it.
Maybe some mint!!
Alright then!
To my tea and so forth.

Low battery
Morning and all my gadgets are out of breath. They haven't been charged and are usually sporadically given the tip of their assigned electrical tit.
It's only when I need them that I realise that I have been lacking with their daily feed.
The reds of the low battery are most annoying indicators and perhaps if left to me I would change them to blue.
How I hate plugging them each day only to keep myself entertained for a few measly hours and then once again they need their charging milk.
I should be more consistent or at least more caring about their daily dosage.

Monday why?
Why the fuck is it 11 in the morn already?
I mean I woke up at 5:30, fed the cats, cleaned the litter and oh yes! Went off to sleep again and woke up at 8:30 after and since then it's been non stop chores.
People aren't here and so I had to finish his lot as well which is watering the plants in the front and the back after which I cleaned the yard and washed it.
Laundry happened, and did I tell you it all happened before tea!
Gasps!
I've had my tea and I think I will skip workout today because I'm in no mood and also because I haven't really slept as well as I'd have liked. Why?
Because I was watching a movie till 1 in the am in bed! A Korean movie called 'forgotten' and after that I read and then I slept and I know it's irresponsible but I need some moments of unworried recklessness.
Right then.
I think I will soon cook lunch and hopefully be done before usual time.
What's your plan?

Oh huh
Today has been a day! 
Yes indeed.
I came home around 5 and the next hour was spent feeding cats.
Yes, feeding Gogi takes time.
Then I had to go look for Meera and get him home.
It was not easy.
He followed me home to some extent after which I had to haul him like a sack and bring him home.
He is wild and also afraid of other cats and dogs in the vicinity.
Someone would think I have a habit of cutting looking at these cross cross claw marks.
Alas no! Nothing as rebellious.
Just a stupid cat who is wild, afraid, polite, silly and a bit stupid even.
Coffee proper
I'd rather have coffee in some which actually serves it in proper cups instead of plastic ones. 
And food
This is a typical Japanese set meal.
It comes with a small bowl of salad, some pickled veg and a bowl of steamed eggs called 'chawanmushi' (now eaten) which is an acquired taste for sure. These are the prerequisites of a set meal. The main dishes are then selected from the menu. I had the udon and tempura set meal. It was good and now there's coffee.
Most places have either a dessert or a coffee towards the end or both, and this place has bottomless coffee.
Ahem Sunday
Who me? 
On the side of the city where I once lived.
In a friends Japanese restaurant, except he is nowhere to be found :/
That's okay cuz I just need to eat and I have just ordered some udon and tempura set meal.
Today I have to myself.
The cats are fed.
Gogi has been given his medication and almost more than 3/4th of his daily meal needs.
I can now be by myself and maybe even indulge in some retail therapy?!
I mean why not!!

in this moment
Saturday and today started far too early for me for a Saturday that is.
I had accomplished most of my tasks before 9 while the chores were getting done in the background. The housekeeper was home (yay).
Tomorrow is going to be different in that I will be alone and I think I will let me out of the house for the day and just hang out and do stuff that means nothing much but will definitely help me unwind to some extent.
Talking of that a new canned food for Gogi has arrived, one which he has taken a ready liking to. and may I just say thank god?
That I whooped with joy and did a small dance of relief would be an understatement because I was almost jumping, treating hard tiles like a trampoline and smiling so wide that my eyes nearly came loose of their sockets.
My little darling ate to his fill after weeks and now I just have to buy a whole lot of those cans.
This has greatly solved many of the problems that have plagued me and depressed me no end this month.
Afternoon then!
The weather is bright and delicious. Not the charring heat but much softer sunshine, one that almost feels like a velvety salve and although my sleep last night wasn't the best features of my week it still doesn't rankle to be a bit weary.

Heat heat
The few days that I enjoyed sitting in my backyard sipping tea aren't happening anymore because it's gotten hot again!
Where is my autumn?
Where is my autumn?
Thursday, 23 September 2021
Wayward
The blooms flourish in a whisker of pitying chlorophyll sat amongst nestling dews in green moss of parched oceans flummoxed at the skies so red with promises threaded to a necklace of albatross wings.
Kisses
Nighttime and I wish to plunder
All that is your body
to desecrate with my needs
And atone with my deeds
All that is your body
to desecrate with my needs
And atone with my deeds
Night ugh
That time of night
when its end's in sight
And I do not wish to sleep
as if that
Would keep at bay
the truths of tomorrow
when its end's in sight
And I do not wish to sleep
as if that
Would keep at bay
the truths of tomorrow
Go forth and spill
The state that is my kitchen on days I click pics for my book. 
Even though I clean as I cook and prep it still spreads out.
I have currently mopped my kitchen thrice already.
the song
I don't know if you've heard this and even if you have why aren't you listening to it everyday, but this hindi song has my heart.
I think I was but a zygote nearly when the song used to go full blast on my dad's speakers and this was also maybe the last LP made in India or the last hindi movie LP.
Now the thing about this song is that it is and was almost a millenia ahead of its time. The beats, the vocals, the mixing and the music!! ah!
this song is my jam. It's on all my music compilations. In my car, in my machine, in my house. Everywhere.
There's also a remix of this song by Suketu which is pretty good but not as long and not as ripe as this fucking song. Everytime I'm in a funk, in the blues, my mood sallow, my heart broken I listen this song and it's magnificent.
Chef's kiss over and over.
Listen to this on a good system or on a good piece of headphones. I mean I think I listen to this song everyday.
Hard pass
I have
Unfathomable dislike
for people who enunciate 'OMG'
for the lack of a better expression
either when genuinely exclaiming
Or feigning it.
One must not in real life say 'OMG'
Under any circumstances.

The weather
What was that I'd said about the weather being gorgeous and what not the last week?
Scratch that because it's gotten back to being warm enough that I needed air conditioning last night.
Granted the nights are cooler but they aren't what they need to be and the afternoons are scalding.
Just thinking about cleaning the front yard makes me shudder because I cannot imagine standing under the scorching weather, brushing leaves out of the yard.
Maybe this is work for evening?
My sun hat no matter how broad is not going to keep me from air frying right now.
Alright then!
Tea and then some upper body.

Teaee
Now drinking the ginger and honey tea cuz I need to not think of this truffle flavored tea.
Not that it's bad, just that it will probably taste better in winters.
And lunch
A delicious miso marinated salmon with some leftover fried rice and a side of salad because yes please!! 
Mid week hues
Wednesday and the weather is odd.
It's hot in the day and cool towards the night.
I am finally free of spousal infection and today I shall get back to the usual routine.
Today will be a lower body strength workout and I am looking forward to it.
Well, the chores are done.
I have washed and cleaned the backyard after yesterday's mud splattering shenanigans it needed a lot of cleaning.
I am excited for the new herb garden that is now planted and I'm hoping to soon see some tiny greenery sprout out.
Right then.
Tea!
Ah I am about to make some delicious tea.
Need it!!!
Also yesterday I had just strolled to the nearby superstore to buy some baking paper, turns out there's some sort of clearance sale going on. Since I needed nothing else I decided to leave, but no!
People saw how madly slashed some prices on some of their favourite things are and that's when I noticed the frenzy amongst other buyers too.
They were filling up their carts like it was a trend and soon I saw bottles of olive oil, beer, coffee beans and speciality pasta fill my cart.
All I did was keep rolling my eyes! I mean all I needed was some baking paper and here we are, lugging back a huge bag of just olive oil and beer.
There's now so much coffee in the house I don't know how we can ever go through it all.
Dear gods!!

Earth stuff
Hello life. 
Have I been busy today.
Making a herb garden so to say.
Let's see how successful we are.
This has taken over 4 hours of solid digging, turning, planting, covering, fertilizing.
This has better work. Maybe at least 20%
Fest
Today is an important festival here called the mid autumn festival and the air smells ever so sweet of festivals and hope.
The cats are all doing fine.
Twinkle after taking a tumble and after trembling with anxiety and stress is now back to climbing on the same ledge where he fell from.
I think he dozed off yesterday and plopped like a small sack of sand.
No injuries though. At least not that I could discern.
Also, tea now.
People are home.
I think I will go out just cuz..
Monday, 20 September 2021
Update
Twinkle is doing fine it seems.
He's eating, he's active and he ain't shaking anymore.
I think it was the anxiety and maybe some trauma associated with falling from such a height.
I hope he has learnt his lesson and that he won't sleep in the ledge again.
Tomorrow is a holiday!!!

Hmm
So Meera has returned but twinkle fell of a ledge more than 20 feet and is currently acting odd. He is trembling, looking scared, not jumping to his favourite perch and I wonder if he has anxiety or has he actually hurt himself?
20 feet ain't much for a cat but when he jumped or did he fall? It almost sounded like a sandbag hitting the ground.
We looked out to see twinkle sitting like nothing happened.
I think I will monitor him for a while before getting a check up.
What's happening to my cats?

Where are you?
Ugh!
Another day another cat not home.
Seems like this is getting to be a habit. Each time a fresh new hell!!
This time it's Meera who didn't come home last night and can't be found this morning.
Meera!!
The smart cautious stray cat who I could always count on to never get lost.
I don't know it was always a belief, I knew in my heart that he wasn't one to disappear at random, and yet here we are.
He's not the own to play curios and run far. He has a few hiding spots and no matter what he always comes out of them, and he is extremely cautious.
The moment there is someone he doesn't know he will hide! Oh he will hide like what the what.
And I wonder if he is in hiding right now.
Hiding from a dog? Hiding form some danger.
He is not like Hope who plays around and gets lost!
No sir.
He has survived over all these years on instincts and now he is missing.
It is upsetting me and I am tired.
Argh!!
At least he is vaccinated.
I hope he returns.
This morning is been unkind.

Who said it will be easy? No one!!
This evening is going to be a study in patience.
I have to take Meera to the vet for his annual vaccine and it's no joke trying to put him into small spaces because he can meow himself to death!!
The most polite cat of all turns into this pcp driven maniac when he has to be held or caught or put into any sort of enclosure.
His stray soul turns him into this lunatic that rather tear his own nails against the confines of the cage than actually get into the cage.
For the purpose I have now bought him booties and a small net enclosure into which I can roll him like a burrito and carry him.
It's his nerve wracking screams that tend to hurt the most.
I almost feel like I'm taking him to the slaughter when it's just a small jab.
I mean the cat squeals like a pig on loudspeaker. It riles up my other cats and they begin meowing and surrounding me to see what is it that I'm up to and they try to rescue him by meowing their protest.
It's a regular jungle in here then.
But yes I'm now going to start putting his booties on him and I pray to all cat spirits to let me get this done with ASAP.

complaints
Saturday and I feel like I wanna drop down and sleep
also Saturday and it's like a weekday
My routine has stayed unchanged today
my eyes are tired
Lunch oomph
I was yet undecided! 
Shrimps yes but what should I put next?
The leftover rice was scant. Need to bulk it up with minimum effort and lo!
I added kimchi.
And so here we are with kimchi fried rice with a side of 4 scrambled whole eggs cuz why not?!
No smoothie but a whole lot of musk melon today.
Ah! Ending week
I am in my backyard.
Sitting, chilling, looking at my cats lounging in the brightness of the sun which is somehow not as scalding as it was a week ago.
The breeze is soft and almost cool and I can smell my peach and tea scented candle here.
The scent really does carry and I should make a mental note to buy more of them.
Looking at the line of clothes sitting to dry and I am quite glad that I actually get to dry them in the sunlight.
Something aight how crisp and almost crease free they tend to be as opposed to the drier which usually resulted in hella created cotton tees.
I mean I'm not exactly a fan of ironing.
The weather is turning and I know it will get hot once again before finally cooling into autumn but I love this coming weather.
Shanghai autumn is by far my favourite season and I do have a heart for breezy windy weathers.
I know some people dislike the feel of strong gusts of wind all over their face and hair but I enjoy them and specifically in this weather.
What's the plan?
None!
I'm home alone much to my delight and chagrin because it's gonna be holidays the next few days.
Other than that it all looks good.

Ughs
That time of night
When my iPad refuses to connect to the internet because why would it when I'm looking to watch something on it.
Betrayal at night.

Betrayal at night.
And now
Sitting at a Singaporean restaurant where I reached earlier than my friend who lives like ten minutes from here.
I mean come on.
Not that I complaining.
I'm drinking a rich condensed milk coffee while waiting cuz why not?
I mean come on.

Don’t stop me now
Who me?
Running outta time cuz I gotta get dressed and fuck off to meet someone in the other end of the city and to think I've only just finished my chores and started on tea.
Yikes!!

Sweet
My bff sent me moon cakes for the mid autumn festival and they're quite alright. 
I've never been one for traditional moon cakes but I think these are modern kinds.
About to
Ugh!!!
Today I have to wash all my microfiber kitchen rags and it's such a pain.
I boil it in water with detergent and baking soda and wash away the grime and that eww stench but gods I never look forward to it.
:/
I have realized that tossing these things in the machine isn't ever enough.
I do toss in ones that aren't filthy totally or the hand towels but not the rags that I use to clean platform etc.
Uh!
But even so. Today looks about okay .
I am going to have lunch on time and then I'll be free!
Yes. I mean I hope so.

Summarizing
I see the time as I type this and the watch tells me it's 10:40.
I am just now drinking water because I don't know how but today morning got deliriously busy, not least because I woke up slightly later than usual and then began with the program, except today the housekeeper came and so I busied myself with the cleaning of the backyard which needed some heavy work after three days of ceaseless rains and storm.
It was still somewhat bright in the morning but looks like it might rain again and I don't think I'd like that.
To think I was all about lazing today. What fallacies I can sometimes let myself believe :)
I think I am going to have tea outside until such time as it begins raining again and I hope it doesn't.
There is only so much water my plants can take.

Fraying
I didn't realize how utterly tired I am today.
This day has been something of labyrinthine in terms of how days go.
I mentioned how the cat we took to the hospital didn't get his rabies vaccine because now the regulations regarding rabies injections are strict so I found another hospital nearby where I took hope for her rabies injection which is overdue now.
This after returning from the supermarket.
Then back home and putting away groceries.
Now only four more cats that need their rabies and we will be done! Ugh. Easier said than done.
I have got a bad case of the cramps and now my body feels like its batteries are low.
Dinner needs to get done and I only just have to keep myself from keeling over.
Yay! Tuesday.
This day has been something of labyrinthine in terms of how days go.
I mentioned how the cat we took to the hospital didn't get his rabies vaccine because now the regulations regarding rabies injections are strict so I found another hospital nearby where I took hope for her rabies injection which is overdue now.
This after returning from the supermarket.
Then back home and putting away groceries.
Now only four more cats that need their rabies and we will be done! Ugh. Easier said than done.
I have got a bad case of the cramps and now my body feels like its batteries are low.
Dinner needs to get done and I only just have to keep myself from keeling over.
Yay! Tuesday.
Nightshade
Also a big bunch of cherry tomatoes that I will wash, cleanse with baking soda and rinse with vegetable cleaner and the store in fridge. 
Ones that I want to eat in the next few days I will keep out in the kitchen.
The aftermath
Sectioned and sliced into single servings. Inside a freezer bag until such time as they get ready to be eaten.
One can if one wants, eat these raw, since they are sushi grade salmon and can be eaten raw if eaten immediately on the same day.
I would have loved to make a poke bowl but today that can't be done and so they're going into a freezer for now.
And now
Who me? 
About to start freezing my grocery haul.
This here is a big honk of salmon.
My lunches look resplendent already.
Not so easy
Got the cat his injection and realized that they're not giving him the anti rabies one but the usual yearly vaccination.
Upon asking they said the rabies injections will happen in another hospital.
Apparently not every hospital does rabies injections and now I realised that since this same nearby hospital is where I'd got my other felines vaccinated too a couple months back, their rabies injections are overdue because this hospital didn't give those.
Now I have to, next week, get all the cats vaccinated for rabies in another hospital and to think I kept thinking that all was taken care of.
Hmph.

Shop shop
Today is one of those monthly grocery shopping days and I am glad to get done with it on a weekday.
Also glad to be doing it alone because damn I don't need another person chiming in with their opinions on every damn thing!

Need a life hacked
Tuesday and I woke up around 6 in order to get done with things early since I had to give Gogi his sub Q injections today and it really rankles my heart and spirit.
The typhoon rages on still. Heavy rains, strong winds etc and that means my housekeeper didn't come today and the house is contaminated with spouse, since this weather warrants home stay.
Yikes!
I had to clean my house not just in the everyday sort of way but a deep clean proper since today is sans housekeeper but crawling with husband and so there was vacuuming, mopping, dusting and finally injecting my little baby.
Finally! Fucking Tuesday.
I sit down with a mug of water.
I need it.
Tea soon and then I have to be off for some grocery shopping.
Gotta take advantage of today and go to the store I know is usually overwhelmed with crowds, but today won't be so cuz weekday.
Also have to take my youngest cat twinkle for his annual vaccination.
Today is full! Extremely so.

Finds
Finally!! 
After going through all the regions on my damned vpn I find this on Wembley! And that too through a vpn I rarely use!
Damn it but phew!
It's strange but just cuz I connect through the vpn of a certain country doesn't necessarily show me exactly what is being shown on that Netflix.
It depends which server it gets connected through.
I mean this is a bit complicated but we are finally there.

I have been busy busy busy and my lunch was so late today. Ugh!
But I am glad I got done with much work today.
Tea time
It's raining, it's windy and it's not a good time to be sitting outside but I mean I want to be outside and so here I am. In the balcony which is better than the backyard cuz it's crazy outside in the yard what with trees swinging and the rain falling right on my face.
The balcony is totally wet and I have to clean it but not today.
Monday you fuck
A bad case of the ughs kept me from waking up early and when I did finally wake up it was later than usual.
The weather has been oddly glorious, most in part due to the typhoon that has been raging since yesterday afternoon. It's been raining in cascades, like sheets of water plopping to the ground with tree swaying winds and it's gotten cool, albeit damp but cool still.
Last night there was no air conditioner needed. The windows were thrown open and I slept fitfully.
Of course the typhoon kept getting worse and I didn't know that as I slept in the wee hours of the morning, others in the house were busy retracting awnings, removing solar lanterns dotted outside the house and shutting all the windows.
Anyway, none of this matter anymore because I'm going to set the house on fire.
A slug the size of my largest finger is sitting inside an upturned wine glass and eeewwww
I have to give this house the match.
Ah!

Hmph
I have just eaten an entire packet of potato chips while watching 'Kate' on Netflix and I'm embarrassed.
The movie was good in a way that I love my action films. Lots of stylized violence, well timed action sequences, Mano a Mano fight scenes, splattering blood, fantastic music, great cinematography and really good gun fights.
The chips however I regret eating :(

This morning
Ventured out early morning to buy milk and decided to buy breakfast for myself and the housekeeper. 
This is my absolutely favourite local breakfast.

Lunch bliss
Lunch is a humongous frittata made with a a large potato, onion, red pepper and 5 while eggs topped with delicious cheese cuz why not. And with a side of freshly squeezed orange juice.
