A pool of cold water
Is what my bed feels like
The first five minutes
That I get in each night
A spot of volcanic kiss
Is what my bed feels like
before I begrudgingly exit it
each morning

Bull in a China shop
This is the only substitute for sex Thea edams seeing how it did trigger a couple mini orgasms. I mean come on! Such gorgeous pottery!!
PS. I bought a bowl
Festivities
At a flower market which is near my previous compound and looks like X-mas is really happening here.
Currying flavours
That my house is smelling like a South Indian restaurant would be accurate because If someone was to walk in here they'd expect to be fed 'sambar' 
It's all because this morning I spent cleaning and washing a huge bunch of curry leaves which I process then with some oil to freeze and use as and when.
I go through curry leaves irrationally quickly but that's only because I absolutely love these little flavour bombs.
I have tried propagating curry leaves here but it doesn't work at all.
I think I need to come up with a better strategy but until then I have these.
New day
Morning and it's been storming since last night and I have a day out planned today.
Not as much as a day out really but I'm going to meet some friends from my previous compound and before that I'm also visiting a flower market.
Last night I spent baking breads and cakes for my friends and this morning I was relieved to know that people left too early in the morning which means I didn't have to bother with breakfast and packing lunch!
It's a rare day when I can sit for my tea at 9:20 and for that I'm glad because I want to leave by 11 to reach a restaurant where we will first lunch then shop at the flower market and then go to the old compound.
It's a busy day and I'm busier still!
Let's go then!

All this maudlin
Ho hum!
That yesterday I was in a dark mood would be an understatement because I wanted nothing but scream at everything!
Today!
Ah today I have found time almost half an hour after 10 to actually sit down with a cup of tea.
Why?
Because I spent all this morning trying to fix my house which looked like a couple tornadoes went on an orgy rampage through it yesterday.
I was too annoyed to clear up things by evening and so this morning when I stared at my homepage rationally, through slightly unvexed eyes I realised how devastatingly unkempt it had gotten through the days activity.
So yes!
Now I will workout!
Then lunch
Then you!

Always
And my ultimate absolutely ultimate jam ever since forever!!! From my totally favourite band. 
Hmm
Who me?
Sitting alone under warm lights listening to music , thinking if I shouldn't pop open a bottle of wine and eat chips and make some easy dinner later cuz I'm alone and in the mood.

And now
Saturday and I'm out for afternoon tea which is actually coffee with a platter of sweet things which makes my insulin hit the roof to just look at.

Charlie Hunnam for new Bond. Yes please!
Just as I was feeding the cats I remembered pacific rim. I mean what even!! but yes that actor will work nicely for Bond.
What do you think?

eeugh
When some days I make one of my best coffee's what with the full body and aroma, there are days like today when I make the worst watery mug of 'what the fuck'?
I mean where did I go wrong? It tasted so horrible of watered-down coffee flavoured sweetish water. Nothing about it spoke coffee to me.
I have to get it together.
Maybe I'll make another cup to atone.

Bed sprawl
I have turned my nighttime bed into a sea of fluffy duvets of which I now have two layers.
A thinner one that I've been using for a few weeks now when the weather was cool but not cold yet, and now my recent addition of a deliciously pillowy cumulus duvet that expands over the entirely of the bed and covers every inch of this space.
To lie under it is to get absolute protection not least because I'm under two layers but also because of the unconditional security it provides in covering every inch of bodily real estate.
I'm in love with my bed right now.
Did you know I sleep surrounded by pillows?

Nighttime and my bedside table is my little corner of random eccentricities.
There are two pairs of socks for some reason which I don't know why they're here, a box of tissue papers, a jacket, a charging wire which seems to be a new addition that I am only just realising, an ac remote which has no business being here anymore, a lint roller, a silk scarf which I wear on my hair before sleeping at night and my satin eye mask.
Sounds like a lot of items but I promise you my side table looks empty despite it all.

Lunch heart
Another day another tray bake. 
This one with some fish and vegetables baked in a thin dressing of olive oil, thyme, pepper and lemon juice.
Also in here are some potatoes and a slice of bread which I brought from the local Chinese breakfast shop.
And also some orange juice cuz yes!!
In the long of it
Say one thing about taking a day off say it throws the rest of the day in turmoil.
Case in point yesterday when I was gone pretty early in the morning, sometime after ten and came back around seven to a house full of meowing hungry cats and no preparations for dinner.
That I jeujed up a pot of pasta quicker than you could say 'hello' would be an understatement and even though that pasta was more than two servings, people in the house didn't feel quite full after and so before I could come up with another meal to fill up the crannies, pizza was ordered.
What?? I said! This is the middle of the week. Pizzas are for weekend but my small voice went unheard under a pile of blue cheese and rest of the evening spiralled out of control, what with the opening of a wine bottle etc.
I didn't partake much in the activities because for me 'fun' is weekend stuff.
I have workouts to go through this week, recipes to type and pictures to click.
Tomorrow is my recipe clicking day for the food blog and I am thinking of making something I love to eat often after workouts.
—
How was yesterday you ask?
It was great in that I ended up buying a chopping board and the friend in question who actually wanted to look at home goods and check out small furniture's and other house supplies actually paid not much mind to anything and kept shopping online for scarves etc while walking through the showroom.
I mean wtf!
And here I was showing her coffee tables, pointing at rugs and throws and cushion covers, suggesting bookshelves and side tables and there she was making me look at scarves online.
I ended up buying some cushion covers, tea light candles, a chopping board, white gauzy curtains for bedroom, a glass mug and a runner.
Whereas she bought piles of colourful paper napkin boxes and dog beds.
Literally none of the things she had decided upon.
I mean what even??!
But even so it was a lovely day and I had fun.
Right then.
On with some laundry and then workout!

This morn
Morning and finally I get to this point in my day when I can for a few minutes be by myself with a cup of tea and some sun, even if cold and windy.
My moment of calm, of silent repose, my few stolen minutes of holing by myself before I plunge once again to surviving today.

Footsie
Are we liking my shoes? 
They're a bit cyberpunk I guess.
I could just as easily be inside the matrix.
Start
Just about to be out and about . Today's excursion demands a lot of walking and so we shall walk!

Easily amused
I've changed my duvet to a rather fluffy cotton candy pillowy pink one and can I just say I'm happy.
Tonight is to warm dreams.
Tonight is to warm dreams.
Now and after
And now the housekeeper's gone, I cleaned the front and backyard despite the leaves continuously falling and now I heave a sigh of relief.
In the balcony, watching the cats lazily roll about and do their thing while I try to catch up on some reading.
I am currently in two minds about going to a black tie chamber of commerce event this Saturday because I don't much care about spending my Saturday night at a formal event which is going to be extremely boring.
Yes there will be a seven course meal but I know it's gonna be pretty lame too.
But at the same time I get to wear my black gown.
Sighs.
Decisions.

The mounds of everything
I deseeded 3 pomegranates while Logan ninefingers challenged Bethod and it's my misfortune that a tedious and jaded activity such as deseeding pomegranates ended much before the duel began.
I guess tomorrow as I roll chapati's the fight should have ended.
Once this book is finished I'm running straight over to 'wisdom of words' and tonight I'm going to go over all the highlighted sections from 'dune' because man oh man were something's absolutely mind ripping juicy!
Speaking of tomorrow there's much work to be done since I'm going to be making up for today.
More recipes to be typed and maybe on Thursday or Friday I will click pictures for the blog.
My desk is tired of all the sticky notes jotted with a billion reminders while I try to hold on to the day like water in a fist.
Each time I curse my time management and feel lacking.
I really need to fix this for myself.
But wait, what am I saying?
It's night and I shouldn't be getting so worked up.
There are nicer things to think about except my hair smells of smoke.
Why?
Because the masseuse uses this special ancient type Chinese technique wherein some sort of very smooth instrument holds a smoking piece of wood and evenly warms the entire stone as I get massaged with it .
It's nice and warm and extremely relaxing every part that it touches. The only flip side is the lingering smoke in my hair.
I must wash it tomorrow.

Quick quick get on with the day
Am I tremendously late for everything today or what? 
The massage session took over two hours off me but it was more relaxing than 8 hours of sleep.
I got hot stones placed all over me and I am like a noodle now.
Ah!
Loved it.
But my lunch got delayed along with everything else.
Goes to show you can't have it all in one day.
So here I am making a quick something.
Some vegetables and fish doused in a delicious marinate that I often use as a dressing.
All in one
Finally sitting down to a cup of tea after cleaning the kitchen. The mess left after was not much but it still needed to get cleaned and now finally here I am in my balcony, looking at a cat grooming himself while I wonder if this sudden drop in temperature needs me to bring out my thicker duvets.
The wind is almost icy now and the sunshine is almost at a point where it begins to feel moot.
Right now however it still carries some warmth and what am I if not a sucker for cool sunshine?
My front yard is near blanketed with leaves and this is after I cleaned it yesterday.
It rained all night and now there's nothing but leaves everywhere. Some trees are almost leafless and the it bothers me to see how all my flowers are also covered under browned leaves.
How does one clean it? Maybe I need to wait until the ground is drier before I begin shovelling and brooming.
Right!
The workout today is a lower body strength after which I have to go for a massage. Yes my scheduled massage where I get killed all over but today I shall tell her to take it easy on me because wtf!
I'll have lunch after which means that lunch today will be late but my timings are so skewed too.
Right then! To my cup of tea and then massage and then the rest!

Morning tremors
Who me?
Watching my kitchen get demolished as a plumber tries to fix a new faucet in my sink.
If this faucet is successfully fixed then I am going to be a very happy woman because have I been eyeing this baby for a while or what??!!

In a tizzy
Lunch today was in the backyard. 
It's overcast as hell but what of it?
The wine in question was an afterthought and long after lunch I sit here looking about and sipping.
Meow please
Morning and a very clingy sheru decided to make me his seat for the day. It's been almost half an hour and he isn't willing to budge.

Raised eyebrows and smirk
Just when I thought I'd seen it all.
This is an odd contraption or rather (apparently) a very useful one to help gather up your large dress or gown or whatever that's floor length into a neat pile around you so as to facilitate going to the toilet easier.
Would this work with a saree too?
Greening it
Went to the flower market today!
I mean I don't know if this is called a flower market because calling this place a flower market is like calling the ocean a water body.
If anything, this is a place filled with hundreds of nurseries that sell everything from succulents to entire landscaping for compounds.
Anyhow bought a lot of flowers and other things that can hold well for winters.
Gah
A mail I thought I'd sent last night was sent just now!
I don't know how many times technology eats my words!
I don't know how many times technology eats my words!
Whaaaa???
How do they do this?
I mean I know the process behind the flavourings but to get something so pointedly accurate and yet oddly nasty but still gobsmacking because by the heavens these beer flavoured chips taste like beer and chips!
I mean how did they get chips to taste like beer? Beer is liquid and chips are solid and how on earth did they synthesise the beer taste so accurately?
It has the same acrid hit, fermented taste, that slight hit of current on the tip of the tongue after the first sip and it's crazy how confused my taste buds currently are.

Self love
This is always such a good gift to give someone who likes spa stuff, speaking of which I bought a load of similar spa things.
Body scrubs, face masks, exfoliating shampoos. Will put a picture of the haul.
Lovely but didn’t touch the spot yet
Not strange that I'm still hungry after this and a glass of cucumber and pear juice and so I think I will go to a restaurant proper and have something to eat after some shopping!

Such problems
Nighttime and I mentally flip through my cupboard
Trying to figure rout
What to wear tomorrow
Cuz it's such a difficult business
To pick out clothes

Lunch sighs
Dinner is a large buckwheat noodle salad with lots of veg with a side of yogurt with protein powder, grapes, granola and homemade peanut butter.

Mental recitals
I am
Sitting under a small weight of soft quilts
Feeling a rapid coolness soaking my face
that is wrapped under a thin film of slimy sheet mask
with promises of hydration
I smirk
We shall see, I say.
I am
Besieged with thoughts that no one will understand
Surrounded by two sleepy cats
Alone in my bed
I am
Investing a few moments
To check out some restaurants
Where I will lunch this Friday
with a friend

Lunch and dinner in one pick! 
Lunch was a salad with shrimps and eggs and dinner is a chicken cutlet with a side of kimchi.
Kitty essentials
Looks like the package I was waiting for my cats which was a bag of litter hasn't arrived.
Which means I'll have to woman up, wear a bra, change my pants and buy a packet until such time as the one ordered arrives.
Ah well.
Here I go.

exercise malfunction and no to self pity
On some days when my workout confidence is on an upswing, there are days when I find myself in a bit of a recession and this phenomenon isn't new or special for me. Everyone on a fitness journey experiences this time and again and no matter how often it happens it's always a bit unnerving, not to mention annoying.
Case in point my cardio session today. It's been a while since I went that length in cardio workout ever since my heel took a bit of beating with Achilles tendon. Today I amped it up a notch and did one of my favourite workouts which is a kneel to squat. An excellent exercise to assess your fluidity, range of motion, stability and strength since the entire body has to repeatedly in a single range of motion change from kneeling to squatting and back again. A wonderful torcher of an exercise indeed and today I found my legs shaking from the get-go.
Not that I have gained weight but my quads and calves just didn't feel like they were in the mood to go through this motion and it almost felt I had to coax them to lift me up each time.
When a few months ago I could do this exercise for a minute straight without having to lift myself much above the ground I found myself lifting a lot higher to give myself extra leverage to stand in a squat.
There are several reasons this could have happened apart from weight gain which was not the case.
At the beginning of this year where I was incorporating more cardio and functional workouts to my everyday sessions, the past few months have seen a decline in that since I resorted to a lower impact cardio routine due to my heel.
I have been concentrating more on strength routines and in fact, three days out of five workout days are solely strength workouts.
Could be that this recent change in my exercise circuit has led to a lack of exercise or even lesser fluidity in regards to these strenuous workouts.
It could also be that I have forgotten how to correctly do such workouts and my form is therefore lacking.
Or it could just be that I have some muscle soreness from previous lower body workout days and thusly I couldn't engage my muscles as efficiently.
Perhaps if I continue this exercise with the same regularity as before I would see some improvements.
Just because there are some slight changes in my fitness doesn't mean that I am on a declining path. Cardio isn't always jumping and lunging and intense HIIT sessions. In many ways, cardio is a lot of moving. Long brisk walks, being busy and on toes through the day and not being sedentary works much better than an hour of intense cardio.
I know this sounds a bit like self-congratulatory affirmation but it isn't. Being regularly active throughout the day works much better than working out for a bit every now and then.
Not saying that one shouldn't work out but exercises have a way of benefiting and letting themselves shine only and only through consistency, which can be hard to come by, but being active through the day comes easy.
So what am I saying?
That kneel to squats isn't the sole indication of my fitness. My daily activity which gets me clocking over 15k steps clubbed with strength training has helped me stay on my fitness path despite the heel injury for which I had taken almost over a month off from workouts.
I mean I would love to get back to the same space of functionality as I was a few months ago and in time I will, but just because I am not there right now doesn't mean that I am lacking. It just means I am on a different road to the same destination.
Onwards and upwards and consistent always!

Morning juju
Who me?
Listening to synth wave and beginning my workout which is a cardio workout that's easy on my heels.
Today?
Let's see today. There are things that need to be taken care of.
I am expecting an important parcel today which if it doesn't come I'll have to immediately go out in the afternoon and buy what I'd ordered over a week back.
It's most essential for cats!

Alarming
Unruffled I sleep in my bed made of water energised with drops of comfort from fatigued groans of suffering days charged with bleeding petals of discarded minutes.
In a nutshell that is
Say one thing about today say I have typed over 2000 words and it's not enjoyable whatsoever.
Tomorrow I will do the same so that day after can be enjoyed and the day after that which is a Friday I shan't be home at all.
I'm going on a grocery excursion.
Right then!
On with the Sisyphean life.
Dinner now!
It's not funny how often I am at a complete loss as to what to cook which is why I spend sleepless nights deciding what to cook the next day. It's a most assiduous task and some days I enjoy it to the hilt and somedaya I absolute don't.
What I know for right now is that very soon the current audiobook will finish and I shall get on with what I've been waiting for, for a while.
Also, finished the first 'dune' book and I shall now download the second and can I just say how astoundingly mind bending it is. It's loaded in how everything is uttered and understood and somehow I find myself re reading the same paragraph over and over to understand the context and the sub context because every line has many meanings. There's a succinctness to the entire enterprise in both the description and how well the author understands his world.
Sometimes it's so precise that it nearly feels difficult to understand unless you peel away at the layers and get down to brass tacks.
Wonderful I tell you.

On the jet set slow down
The skies are overcast
The housekeeper is home
My tea is ready
The toast is crispy
A cat is on the table
Workout is upper body
I ordered some vegetables on an online vegetable shop (dingdong) ! Who have I become? What did I turn into?
It got delivered twenty minutes after I ordered it.
And I forgot two crucial components for which I'd actually placed the order.
I'd ordered half a kilo bananas and I didn't realize that they'd only be three in numbers.
One day I'd ordered a kilo of potatoes and I was delivered two monstrous sized spuds!
The vacuum whirred with such rage today that I almost felt it would suck up my entire house and I'd end up finding myself in one of those Beetlejuice type scenarios.
I don't know what type of luxury it is to have the housekeeper clean the house while one stays in bed watching it all get done but I do wonder if it would be nice to not be in the thick of it all sometimes.
I found myself cleaning kitchen and entrance window panes today because I couldn't stand the finger prints that had been made on the glass.
Right then today, a Tuesday!
Here we go!

My tea is ready

I found myself cleaning kitchen and entrance window panes today because I couldn't stand the finger prints that had been made on the glass.
Right then today, a Tuesday!
Here we go!

Wrong delicious
And I can't concentrate on anything after this afternoon's happenings.
There's a flickering flame somewhere within me that momentarily ignites into a blaze, torching my heart to a wanton cinder before pulsing down to a dim light, slowing down my breath which had shot up into a thudding heartbeat, each time that I think of our immoral obscene utterance from just a few hours past.

Dear gods
I got sent this photo from the family day function and I am not looking pleased.
What the fuck is this photo?

Morning and I listen to the daily noise
Of vehicles passing by uninterruptedly
on their daily commute
perhaps these roads
they take twice a day
and rue that moment each time
or maybe for a second they forget
And enjoy the drive before finally
Getting to their destinations
To get bored all over once again

Monday morning and a curious cat in this sunshine as I breathe a moment to myself in balcony before hitting the chores headlong once again!
Today is a time table choked with things that need getting done, things that I have to finish.
There's the workout to begin with which I am resetting after a week of no exercising.
Gotta get it in. It's a lower body strength and then lunch and then work work work!
I have some recipes that I gotta finish writing and more pictures that need selecting and hoping I don't have to click anymore all over again.
This personal assignment is getting a hit out of hand.
I mean I gotta get this done with soon!

This came in. The surprise gift I was worried about. Thankfully there won't be any murder happening in the house for now.
