As t his year progresses, I really don’t feel like I have anything new to add in this space.

This week was like the previous week, which in turn, was like its predecessor.

I did come out of the funk I was in last week and the mid-week holiday was a good break for all of us.

Life is going on as usual with me doing a bit of freelance work which brings in some pocket money for me. I have also succumbed to the allure of online shopping after resisting for so long. I have shopped online before, but not like what I have been doing the past few months. I need to stop this and only buy things that are essential and that spark joy to me.

That’s pretty much this week! See you next week.

I was in a major funk for a good part of this week, but I am much better now and the start of a new week brings new hope.

I have been having some issues with one person where I am freelancing and this person has been very passive aggressive in dealing with me and this has got to me which contributed to the funk I was in.

I’ve rationalised it to myself and I am now much better and will not take this personally.

Anyway, we are at the end of April and for some reason, this month felt too short! This coming week is also going to be short one, with the May Day mid-week holiday. Mid-week holidays always remind me of a college friend who used to live for such holidays. She used to say that this meant Tuesdays feel like Fridays and Thursdays feel like another Monday and the week does not feel like the usual week at all.

Have a wonderful week folks!

This was such a hectic week that before I knew it, it was over!

S’ Uncle who passed away last year had his first death anniversary. In the tambram community, this is an elaborate three day affair. S had taken leave to help out and so I was also roped in to helping and serving the priests and Brahmins who would come to eat.

This meant that I had to wrap up my daily work by 11 am when S would come home to pick me up and then we would be back home around 4 pm after the day’s function was over. It was so tiring!

The week ended with a nice long break for Good Friday and Easter. Next week is back to the grindstone with work and items to be ticked off my to-do list!

Happy Monday everyone!

This week was a mixture of being super productive on some days and then days of being a sloth!

The highlight of my week was attending a career fair for women who have been out of the workforce. My intent on going for this career fair was to see if I can make some connections with sympathetic companies so that I can try to see if I can see myself there.

I also made time for some self care this week and it felt so good to do something for myself. I am seriously thinking of doing this on a regular basis, I do owe that to myself.

I have a busy week this week with some family commitments due. I am also planning on doing some serious work with regard to my career, the fair last week has energised me, I think!

Have a wonderful and productive week!

This week was the kind of week I like, one where I managed to tick off my to do list and have time for myself too in the process.

I had a cousin’s husband over for dinner one night over the weekend. He was in Singapore for a work trip and this weekend was the only day all schedules synced up. Actually I was meeting him for the first time in almost five years, the second time after he married my cousin.

It was a fun evening, where we chatted and got to know each other well. I just wish my family lived closer so we can meet more often, rather than just every few years!

This week will also be an interesting one, but why I will tell you next week. I am also planning to spend more time with myself on some self-care, so I am excited about this.

Have a wonderful week folks!
