I have not retired from blogging.
I have the same excuse as everytime.
I was just waiting for things to come back to turn right.
But things just kept turning left.
Just the little mom things
Like house-hunting with the stop-watch ticking away in countdown mode.
Like the kids’ exams to get over-they did. But then we had to make up for all the missed-out Guitar and Art classes.
And the maid just had to leave for her native village for a three-day trip which got stretched to a week.
And it was just the time that we found that both cooking Gas cylinders were now empty, and a delivery which normally took three days, this time took 11!
I did have the microwave to pull me through, but there just happened to be a day-long power-cut too.
And then the kitchen taps didn’t leave me the option of ignoring them till we moved away, the school van didn’t come one day, my partner in fire-fighting had to go away for two weeks, and the school declared a day off when it was my working day.
Is insomnia preferable to nightmares haunted by houses and exam papers and cooking breakfast on powerless microwaves?
Maybe not-I realized as I heard the screeching dent on my car.
The quotes on positive thinking just did not work.
It was only on reaching office and drinking hot-coffee from a machine that worked that I could think of the silver lining.
The dent is on the left fender!
The old one! For which I can now claim a replacement.
Let me celebrate by logging in.
Wow! Now that is something that went right! Your way of thinking is something I like - I do that often. More power to us silver lining hunters
ReplyDeleteAllz well with u logging in and posting here. Welcome bk :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! So the hot-coffee did the trick,eh?? And blogging- perfect way to celebrate! :))
ReplyDeleteHey thanks for still visiting my blog. Feels nice to get back.
ReplyDelete@Ritu-I so admire the way you think :) If I am getting there, I know I am going to be OK.
@Swaram-Yes. All's well-even though there are crazy times, when I write about them, they seem so much better.
@Deeps-Yessss. That woke me up and I was so happy that the dent was on the right (in this case-left) side-that I felt like blogging after a long time.
Hang in there Reema. Do you need some chocolates to go with the coffee as a backup?
