This past fortnight has been busy.
Good busy.
Headless chicken kind of busy.
Gross. Why did I write that.
Now I can’t get that out of my mind.

Onto nicer stuff.
Work.
Fried brains. Catching buses, missing buses, long walks, figuring tech stuff.
Home.
Food prep, prayers, newly weds visiting, girls’ movie night at D1’s home with her mother in law and me. Watched Confessions of a Shopaholic. Binged on tea, snacks, finger foods, prepped by D1, creamy pasta by my sambandhi, store bought pizza by me. Photos in comments.
D2 is visiting soon. Can’t wait to have us together again.
And Classes.
Finally.
Started face to face sessions. So good to see my students. Promised that I would be nice and sweet for the first class.
And
My class with my Guru.
Don’t want to jinx it.
But Mami was happy.
And my heart was and is so full that I’m getting back to some semblance of normalcy after a wedding, settling one girl in another town, girls having flown the nest, settling into a new job, restarting classes.
Back to walks, temples, music, friends,
Netflix/Prime/bingewatching Marvel movies,
And planning for the
6th Saree Speak Birthday Bash.
Video calls with the team Kirithika Kiki Sucheta Banerjee Sandi Perumal Vanitha Sarkkunan Kishori Telang planning, consolidating, meeting restaurant owners, planning meal menus, games, gifts. Photos in comments.

My award-from-me winning photographer D1 visited on Thursday. For a home puja. She clicked me draped in a golden yellow orange silk with printed wide spaced buttis on body, geometric prints and buttis on pallu, gifted by Kiki and quite well mismatched, I must say, with a cotton brown checked blouse with orange borders.
