I almost didn't make it here today! It's been an insanely busy week that's going to continue into today. Life This week has been a combination of busy at work and busy at home. The kids did not have school on Monday, which is also typically my busiest day at work. So when Monday ended, I felt as if I sucked at both life and work. The rest of the week was better - at least I was able to keep work and life separate. This weekend just happens to be one of those when I have so much to do - thanks to the many tasks and chores deferred from previous days/weekends. We were getting quotes for some home improvement projects, had to start prepping rooms for my parents' arrival next month (mainly because I still haven't moved my daughter's online school materials out of the room from the Fall school year), and do lots of seasonal shopping. If it weren't going to be constantly raining this entire weekend, I would be prepping my garden beds as well, but now that needs t
Three weeks ago, my mother-in-law passed away. She was a brave woman, as my father used to say, who had been fighting cancer for more than ten years. Towards the end however, her cancer had spread too far. My husband had already been in India for two weeks when she passed away. I had been planning to join him a little later, believing that she was getting better. But that wasn't meant to be, so to my regret, I never got to see her before she moved on. Rest in Peace, Ma.
It has been quite busy since then. My whole trip itself was spread across just a week, of which about 80 hours involved back-breaking travel between the countries. I have been terribly sick for about two weeks since, and am only just coming out of the woods. All in all, I'm glad to be feeling much better now, but I have a lot of catching up (everywhere) to do.
There is also another very time-consuming activity that the husband and I have been keeping busy with most evenings over the past week - since nothing is decided on this yet, I'll hold off talking about it until then (hard as that is). But that said activity has been keeping me away from my books as well, so really, I haven't been reading much and I keep hoping that someday I'll slip back into my non-existent routine.
What have I missed in the blogosphere? It's time for another 'Mark all as Read' but hopefully, things won't be as hectic for a while now. (Touchwood!)
