It was a painful day. Some things did not go as planned but it's okay. It is time to revert to the habit of blogging about the things that I am grateful for:
1. Papa is well. I did not talk to him today but there was no SOS call. So am guessing it was all okay.
2. Cook came today and she gave me warm croissant with mixed fruit jam. That was so yummy! Subko croissants are the best!
3. Had water and electricity today.
4. A friend came home today after a rather dismal call. Talking to him took the edge off. That is quite a fortunate happenstance.
5. My friend's daughter earned first place in her tournament! Feels oddly exhilarating.
6. I had taken leave after so long that joining back work even after 4 or 5 days felt weird. I felt overwhelmed. But honestly, there's nothing like making a list to deal with overwhelm. There was an Andrew Huberman podcast I had heard long back where Huberman mentioned that journaling and making lists and goals is good for managing mood and mind. The brain is an excellent place to think of ideas but not a great place to hold ideas. (I think I should do that - make a gist of all the podcasts I listen to.)
7. There's a comfortable amount of money in the bank now. Trip to Vashi, some shopping for Papa, etc. will be good.
8. Just got a call from Dad. He won't be there tomorrow so maybe I will drop it and not go to Vashi. Oh well. Slight bummer but whatever be the will of the Goddess.
9. I wore a rather pretty top that my friend had given me in Ambala - a lovely white satin shirt with brown swirls and I had paired it with a dull gold, thin pleated skirt.
10. I am out of coffee powder but there was just enough to make a cup for my friend and me.
