291

 It was a working weekend but today I worked on something juicy - put together a deck to pitch for website writing copy. Let's see if I get it. But I also went to a friend's house who had lost her sister. That was a good meeting. I really wonder how our close friends will be going through so much trouble and we will be unaware of it. In fact, even in a group of friends, there will be different dynamics between different people. And I am sensing this about people around me today - a deep fatigue. So deep that people don't even want to be happy because happiness also takes energy. 

This year - 20 days on - there have been deaths and devastation already. That ceasefire isn't feeling good at all. I don't know if it will even last the year.

Anyway, despite it all, there are still a few things I am grateful for:

1. Papa is well. I did not speak to him today but no urgent or crisis calls. So this is good.

2. My cook had made a really tasty mousse with protein powder, a blend of roasted makhana with slim milk, and mixed dry fruits. This was topped with chia seeds. She really is awesome!

3. I met my friends from earlier. That was nice.

4. I quite liked the palazzo I wore today.

5. I am safe.

Papa was discharged today and none of us were prepared for it. He is still so weak but we are on the right path of treatment, it seems. But ...
