Too many people

This is a line outside an adidas showroom

And scene

No more night lamp or reading light as everything got packed and I am done with today! 
Done!!

Breather

The packers came in today and with lightening speed they packed in 70 boxes in total and I'm an exhausted mess!!

Monday, 24 April 2023

Meh

What kind of horrible weather am I going to be walking into? 
This is spring!! 
Where's the sun?? 

No intersections

A trifecta of assholes! 

Meera has the cone of shame because he's been extremely annoying and I cannot control his erratic behaviour which is meowing and marking places in the house because he doesn't want to get usurped as the favourite one. Little does he know he's not the favourite but just a dick we happen to love! 

Gone soon

That I've been busy would be an understatement most severe because I am driving myself a little crazy with all that's to be done.
The packers are coming day after and I've yet to segregate things based on air and ship cargo.
Moreover my entire kitchen is still intact and I've to start with it tomorrow as well.
Almost everyday I've had some or other engagements with friends and everyday I've been out eating or drinking and today I've to be out for dinner as well.
It's a bit exhausting but I will soon be gone and my friends will be no more than a memory until we meet again somewhere.
Sighs.
But also ugh!

Goodbyes

Today
I gave away my very trusted 10 year old vacuum cleaner to a friend who needed it.
I felt sad giving it away.
It served me most diligently through all my years in China and was probably one of my first purchases in this country and not once did it give me a moment of doubt.
I trusted it I loved it and it stood by me most sincerely and now it will help someone else.
My dearest oldest friend, I salute thee and wish you all the very best!

A movie I just watched

If you haven't watched already then I recommend that you watch the movie 'living adults'.
It's short, it's Danish, it's a thriller!!
It's delicious!

Yikes

Hello night
We meet again
I am in bed
Too early to be here
But only because
Life in lounge as we know it
Is too bright
Instead of my dim yellow lights
The chandelier is lit
To imitate the sun
As people
Begin their duties anew
On a different time zone

Amen

Not enough poems written
Not enough songs sung
Not enough odes dedicated
Or enough ballads strung
about the splendiferous luxuriance
Of clean sheets, pillow cases, covers, on their maiden night of unsoiled sanitized freshness.

Boohoo

Who me?
Stuck in this rut of packing and dividing things between air cargo and sea cargo and hating every bit of it.
Thankfully I have a gentleman bastards audiobook to help me pack and I hate that moving is always such a pain and how dreadfully enormous the entire task of shifting countries seems to be!
Can't I just leave everything as is and buy everything new new there?

Question marks

Say one thing about this week say I've been busy!! 
Right now I am a strange place both emotionally and mentally as this little furball came into my life a little too late and a bit too unwell. 
I've been in and out of the vets but no one can figure out exactly what's wrong with him. 
He can't properly walk. 
His right hind leg hurts so much he won't set it down and usually lies down to his side and the doctors can't figure out what's wrong with that leg. 
Nothing shows up in the XRay. 
The physical examination shows no defects. 
His diet is excellent his blood world is excellent but he is somehow sick. 
A few months ago, in December this little guy was living outside my door in a small waterproof house I'd bought him. He was hale and hearty and healthy. Much to the chagrin of my other cats who were sickly afraid of him. 
tiny as he is he's a powerhouse of ferocious hisses when it comes to other cats but when it comes to people he's extremely friendly and loving, which is what bothers me even more that once I'm gone what's gonna happen to him? 
I've not been able to find him a foster family because who's gonna want a cat who's limping and that too without any particular issue of any kind at least not something that doctors can decipher . 
I don't know what to do. 
It's stressing me out because he's such a gentle little soul, such a lovely little thing but with an awful luck .
What should I do?!! 

Monday, 17 April 2023

Blehs

Once again I'm at my highest weight!!
:(
Or I could be bloated but really I've been eating indiscriminately and I have let things go a bit.
Gotta get back to where I was.

Also, outside to get stuff done.
Ugh.
There are so many things and I feel like doing nothing at all.

What I think about today and forever

I am so done with today! 
Need to sleep so that tomorrow I can die again! 
If I could clone myself I'd be so happy! 
In fact I'd make several of my clones and perhaps kill myself thus reducing my suffering and keeping only the clones to live and feel. 

And a Sunday

Who me?
I woke up at 5:30 today because people are having trouble sleeping since they're jet lagged and it's only natural to strike up conversation with a sleeping spouse at that hour.
I wasn't grumpy but murderous but said no more of it.
Today then.
Things things and more things.

Sunday

Was it a long day or what?
My friend was over and we had a day of eating gossiping and reminiscing.

Kinda yawn but just rest

Barely noon and I'm done with most work, eaten 4 dosas for breakfast and now I'm drowsy when thought I'd downed a small cup of coffee.
The weather is windy and warm under sunshine and cool in shade.
Pleasant as can be and I sat outside under a mesh of sun and shadows as steeped through a foliage of green trees and felt unbearably pleasant, a feeling so alien that my body thought it best to counter it by making me tranquillised.
It's not the nap sort of drowsiness but the kind where I just want to couch out for a while and snuggle with my babies instead of going horizontal.
I have a friend who is about to visit and she's getting a heap of foods to eat.
I'm not hungry since the fermented breakfast is still keeping me full but it's good to have someone to talk to.
Maybe we will go out for a walk.

Yuck

Barely 8 in the AM and I have stormed this Sunday like a bastille!

Gama rays

And the day looks about done
And I keep mistaking
Today as Sunday
And tomorrow as Monday
When in fact
The weekend still lives on!!
Long live the weekend !!

—/:;(

Nighttime and the shadows in my room stay quiet
Prepared to look the same each day
Until
I move around the furniture a bit
Or
Tilt the lamp
To create new ones
I am
The mistress of shadow games
Around me

:/

(This post was sent yesterday but I only just got its u delivered notification!??)

Morning and I am ahead of the day seeing how I woke up quite early to feed, medicate and clean the black cat 'Nemo' who is currently living in a cage with a collar around his neck to keep from licking his stitches.

Now waiting for another mover to check out the goods as the preparation for moving forward is in full swing.
I have become quite numb to it and don't really understand how to feel cuz this is all happening so fast.
Things got accelerated in a certain direction and now it's caught momentum and I don't know if I can move as fast as it hurtling towards a certain future.

What am I waiting for? Ah, yes deliveries of all the fun stuff I'm buying and taking with me to Europe! Sighs.
I hate leaving my continent behind me.

And now

About to be out and about

Ah yes

The joys of slicing through a ripe tomato with a freshly sharpened knife are known to be near orgasmic.

collective bits of wha?

 Who me?

slowly trying to get back in the groove which is a bit fruitless but even so what of it?

I filled my pens with fresh ink, changed cartridges of almost dried-up ones, opened a new journal, and cleaned my workspace. Arranged my figurines, fixed the speakers, arranged all the stationary in their respective holders, and threw away remnants of erasers that were reduced to stubs. That's a lot of pointless stuff that sometimes has to be done in between many things going on in your life.
And Life is pretty pointless itself, so really, it's just adding drops of nonsense into an ocean of malarky. 

As I sit here typing, my fur babes have laid an ambush and are meowing for their food almost two hours before their designated dinner time. 

There's pizza dough to be made as well and that's just the start of my evening. 

The other day when I was at the vet they showed me a number of Xray of animals that had mistakenly ingested sewing needles and it scared me no end. They also showed me packets of retrieved needles from the operations and some of them had a whole length of sewing threads looped through. Oh Dear!! it scarred me no end and now I'm ever so cautious.
Right then!!

To the kitty food cupboard.

Deets from today

Who me?
Made masala dosa, chutney, sambhar and now there are packers in the house, making an assessment of the stuff that needs to be sent via sea and air and I'm going to have two more companies to come here so I can get 3 different quotations.

After this I'm going to get 'Nemo' the black cat I'd admitted to hospital the other day.
He got operated on and the doctors couldn't find whatever was lodged inside him and there seems to be nothing ailing him as of now and he's eating well etc.
will have to look after him for a week before his sutures can be removed after that I will try to get him adopted .

I don't know what all is going on!!

Right then.
Just gonna show around the house to very astonished packers because they can't understand how little we have to move! Almost seems like a waste of their time.

I am

Angry
Hurt
Disappointed
Worried
Stressed
Sleepy
Horny

Left right

My dear friend has returned from Malaysia and we spent a good hour and a half hugging and crying and laughing.

Today was a lot of going about to attend to some work and it's a holiday here (tomb sweeping festival) so people have been home and I had a very spicy Chinese lunch while out and about.
Also contemplated coffee but ended up drinking tea.


Watching a Japanese series called 'first love' and it's exactly what one would expect from a series with such a name. But somehow it's been done quite well. None of the cutesy, pop strangeness that seems to infest Korean series of similar genre and there's an adult theme to it which makes it enjoyable.
Strictly women only!!
I ended up with this series while I was looking for 'world of married' and I'm quite upset that I can't find it in any region and the one place I did find it, it had only Japanese subtitles!


Other than that it's pretty much a slow day and I'm enjoying the relaxing unwind while listening to delicious music.

Turnover

After my 6 step nighttime skincare routine


Usual fold

Back to usual programming 

Silent reproach

I see the individual packets of hot chocolate staring at me, despondently, because they've been neglected since February and now as the weather warms I do not crave them as I did just a month ago.

In this life

At the vet with this little soul who is a stray cat I've been looking after the last few months .
After I left in February for a month this little one went missing and I found him yesterday in a pretty bad shape. 
He was barely able to stand up and had lost all his weight. 
Took him to the vet yesterday  and they did an X ray and found a sharp metallic object stuck inside him. 
The hospital I'd gone to yesterday told me they won't be able to operate him and that I needed to go to a better equipped place. 
So now I'm Back to the usual place to the good doctors who've always helped. 
I hope I can get it out of him as his situation is Critical and needs to be fixed asap. 
I spent all day crying yesterday and hating myself for letting this happen to him in my absence. 
I was going to give him for adoption but right now his future seems uncertain.

Monday in swing

Monday morning and I'm making batter for cheela that will be my quick lunch.


Got stupidly busy after writing the first two lines and now I'm done with my lunch and wait for a friend for whom I'm making some barley tea because she won't do caffeine.

Monday and I'm already drowsy.
It's just barely afternoon and the wind is strong and the weather is warmly pleasant, just the kind that makes you want to close the curtains and have a lot of sex in the richly cool and still slightly warm dark indoors.
Sighs.

Laser heart

The dregs of dreary domesticity drag on!
I have just informed the housekeeper to come tomorrow on her usual pre cockadoodledoo time to do the needful or whatever it is that she does fidgeting with the vacuum around the house.
Ah! Gah!
Tomorrow a Monday! The usual.
I have to wake up early if I can. I mean I must! I need to get everything back on track.
It's not as easy as showering and leaving for work because it's fairly nuanced all the crevices around the chores of the house that have not been a sort of me for a while and I am unable to ease myself into the absolute fast paced madness of it all immediately but now I should.
Uh.
All I want is to do whatever I want! Is that so hard?

Same same

Went out  had fun 
Came back 
To the Same house
