Did you notice that I didn’t post much this weekend? Especially in comparison with last weekend? Well, there is a reason for that! And hopefully this will be the final post on this topic, after my first lament, and second triumphal celebration.
See, last weekend I was in exile at my parents’ place. Which meant cooking, laundry, cleaning, changing the sheets, grocery shopping, all of that stuff was taken care of for me. So instead, I locked myself in the guest room and plowed through all of Humsafar, while writing a whole bunch of blog posts and scheduling them out for the next several weeks.
(My life last weekend)
This weekend, as I mentioned a few days back, I’m home again! Only, a messy dust-covered home. So instead of blogging, I spent all my time cleaning.
and cooking
Thank goodness, my landlord sent over cleaners to help for a few hours on Saturday, but even with helpers, and no nagging Salman, it still took a long time.
So, generally, I spent the weekend cleaning and cooking and doing laundry, while dreaming of big song and dance numbers and bright colors and happy music. And then the Abhishek of a clean apartment came to rescue me (this metaphor may have failed me) and I was able to watch half of Zindagi Gulzar Hai.
I’m exhausted just thinking about it… Ha ha.
Hope you have recovered somewhat.

Well, I did skip church and sleep for ten hours, so that helped!

We had our entire kitchen gutted and remodeled a year ago. Took a month (takeout meals and microwaved leftovers) and left much dust, despite the contractors’ best efforts. That kind of thing can be very disruptive, even when it’s for a good reason. Getting back to “normal” felt so good! Hope you feel settled in soon.
