The week that wasn’t…

Started the week off by becoming ill (another viral flu, most likely). Decided to self medicate (kids, don’t try this at home) and spent much of Monday, at work & half drugged. Know what people with hangovers must feel like - all my reactions were sooooo slow. Missed Music Ministry prac (& got to know that I was not the only one with virus in the ministry)

Stayed home Tuesday & rested. Was much better by evening & decided to go for the prayer meeting after all. Thought I’d just do my ministry and leave right after if I was not too well. Turned out to be a really good thing I went - a lot of the members were missing (we were only 3 out of 8) and the other 2 left after the P&W (not a common thing, we’re usually all very particular). So I ended up animating the last hymn by myself. As it turned, was very glad I went. Was totally ok afterwards as well.

Wednesday was Dad’s bday. Had already had the “big” celebration in Goa, so really didn’t have much of a do, only a few close friends and the family. Quite a nice relaxing night. Haven’t bought Dad a gift yet, but planning on buying him a treadmill. Only hope he uses it more than the guitar I bought him for new year.

Thursday was an amazing wet and lazy day Spent most of it at a friend’s place being lazy and doing nothing. Even watched a bit of ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (help!!!!) after many years. Everything’s almost exactly as I remember it, lol.

I also (finally) got myself enrolled for a cooking class (!!!!). Woke up one day, realised I was almost 27 and that I couldn’t make tea. Well.

Anyway, my A. Susan recommended Sharda Pargal (she also sweetly called her & spoke to her for me, ty) who has long experience as a cookery instructor (I think she said 40 yrs!!) and also has written books such as Meat: 100 Recipes from Around the World, The Chicken Cookbook and Just Chicken: 100 Easy Recipes

Well here’s a dunce who hopefully won’t present too much of a challenge for her. Will keep you updated, I start Monday.

Today, Friday was back to work after almost a week of doing nothing (man, I love my life!). Was pretty stressed about an important meeting.. but managed to pray and release it all. The meeting turned out pretty well, praise God!

Was supposed to have a quiet dinner tonight, but got ditched so watched Bride & Prejudice (again!) & America’s Sweethearts (for the first time) on Star Movies instead.

Loved Bride & Prejudice the first time I saw it too and it still made me laugh out loud. America’s Sweethearts was ohhh soooo cute…. very funny and very chweet.

Perfect thing to do when you’re all alone: sit and watch other people fall in love… Yeah, I’m ready for that ledge too… John Cusack give me some room …
