#SS 32/100/2020
I have no idea what to write about. The week has disappeared in a flurry of activity. A week ago, I was rushing to music exams, holding extra music classes for anxious students to pacify even more anxious parents.
And Today,
What on earth has happened to today?
It began early with a coffee, and a browsing of SS posts, then?
Am now in bed, heat pump on, under the quilt, deciding on what to write.
SS rule #8 says Post should include a writeup,
SS rule #9 that Post must be about Me.
Am so sleepy.
Should I philosophise?
Should I ramble on about my past week or the week ahead?
Before I nod off, and erase the memo on which I am typing this,
Or add a string of identical letters as my finger taps a letter and stays there while I snore,
Until my husband nudges me, “Bavani, you’re snoring”, and I retort like a 5 year old, “No, that’s you snoring”,
I have decided I will write about my long, uneventful day,
Coffee.
FB browse.
Hot drinks, breakfast for the family.
Folded clothes piled on guest room bed.
And I mean landfill pile. Guest room.is now an unofficial warehouse of sorts. Books, gifts, piles of unironed clothes, 2 fans, laundry basket, ironing table, need I go on?
Put away folder clothes.
Daughter#1 was practising for a concert on Monday and trying to complete some work due on Monday.
Daughter#2 was nose deep in an assignment.
Vaccumed half the house, and got her to vaccum the rest, and dust the hall and rooms.
All this while, husband was attempting something in the kitchen.
Took over the kitchen, made a quick lunch of creamy mashed spinach, brinjal hot curry, rasam. Hubby deep fried some marinated okra and made a salad.
Cleaned up kitchen, power napped, tea.
Made some goodies for an upcoming function.
Packed and stored them in pantry.
Prepped my version of Enchiladas with leftover frozen wraps- chia seed and hemp, red capsicum and sundried tomatoes; with a filling of spinach and ricotta cheese; spread tomato basil sauce, and parmesan, mozzarella cheese over it. Baked to decadent cheesy perfection.
Cleaned kitchen yet again.
Daughter#2 asked me to do a tik tok video with her.
Yes, I am forced to do these weird tik toks and if I disagree, am told that I don’t love them 😶🤨.
Stared at her so hard, she furtively retreated to her bedroom.
The day is almost over.
And so is my post.
The chores can wait for another day.
Draped a purplish blue silk with light stripes and maroon/gold pallu and maroon, light purple, gold and orange borders. Not draped today, definitely not today.
Today I was in 3 sets of batik caftans after showers.
And SS rule #5 says post freshly worn sarees – Draped this two days ago for a music class at home.
