Last week, I pretty much spent the week in multiple trips to the hospital. I did mention that I my eyes had become super red and last Monday, I went to see the specialist for the first time. There I learned that what I had was something called oily eyelids or Blephartis. The area around the eyeballs was also swollen.

The opthalmologist started an aggresive treatment with as many as six eye drops at any given time and had to go back to see the doctor three times last week. The result is that I am so much better now. My hypersensitivity to light is almost gone and I feel like I am about 80% ok now. I will need a couple of weeks for the sensitivity to light and the slight blurring to completely go away.

In other news, I kept away from social media and all electronic devices last week and it was so boring. I realised at this point how much we depend on these devices for not just entertainment, but for all our daily needs also.

I now have a full load this week, what with my pending tasks from last week. Plus there is a public holiday in the middle of this week, which makes getting back to track slightly more difficult.

Happy Monday and have a wonderfully productive week!

This week went by in a fog! For some reason I was unwilling to do anything or be productive. I just went through the motions the whole week and poof, it’s a new week today.

We start the new week with a public holiday because Sunday was celebrated in Southeast Asia as Vesak Day which is also known as Buddha’s birthday or Buddha Jayanti in India.

After a long time we went out as a family over the weekend and I like how interactions with BB & GG are at almost adult levels. I don’t have to filter what comes out of my mouth to be more kid-friendly and can speak to them as if I am speaking with another adult. That’s fun actually.

I have lots of plans for this week, but today will be a bit slow because everyone will be at home. I know I work best when I am alone at home and can focus on my work.

Happy Monday folks!

Another week and we inch closer to the middle of the year.

For Mother’s Day yesterday, GG (along with contributions from BB) brought me some skincare. Since both were out that day, they could sneakily buy the gift and came home and GG closeted herself in her room to gift wrap it. And gave it to me yesterday morning after they woke up.

From today they will start getting the results of their mid-year exams. BB was very subduded since last evening and was worrying about what is going to happen later in the day. I have tried to talk to him many times, but I really don’t know how to get through to him. I am hoping that the bad results this time will spur him up. He has the potential, but is quite lazy and hopelessly addicted to his phone!

I have quite a bit of things lined up to complete this week and hopefully I am productive this week. The past few weeks have been complete duds in terms of productivity and I am hoping this week changes that.

Have a wonderful week!

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.
