What I dreaded is here
A crazy week
Shifting home
Moving stuff
Getting used to the new home/place
Cough
Cold
Running nose
Watery eyes
Fever
Body ache
Pool of cardboard boxes lying around
Things to be set up at the new home
TH working night shifts
Visit to the doctor
Couple of mandatory tests
The wait at the doctor's room
Few minutes ticking away like hours
The doctor comes in with the news
...........
...........
...........
...........
...........
Its confirmed
You have the flu!

Moving
We are packing our bags again
amidst all the rain
this is a change
and to leave the current home- it does feel strange
packing and moving is keeping me busy
the pool of cardboard boxes send me into a dizzy
On and off, there will be a post
because blogging, I like the most.
Thus, I will be taking a little break
not sure how long it will take.

Poll it
ME: So, hows the pasta?
TH: Oh ya its yum.The sauce is all absorbed and perfectly cooked.
ME: You really like it?
TH: Ofcourse I do.
ME: Ok, so what dish of mine do you love and how much do you rate it on a scale of 1-10?
TH: After some thinking, comes up with an answer " its difficult to say which one, because each time the taste varies"
ME: So, you mean to say am not consistent?
TH: No no, sometimes a dish is super duper, sometimes, its too salty, but most times its good.
ME: Hmmmpphh, sometimes, I should just not ask more questions and just leave things at that.So much for playing the "poll it" game.

What do you do
with a husband who goes to work by car, but forgets that he drove the car to office and comes back home in a bus and realises that he indeed drove the car to office?
What do you have to say about the couple who take a bus to reach office parking garage and come back home in the car?
Wait, if you thought this is funny.
The wife has to go somewhere and asks the husband to lock the door when he leaves for work.The husband nods as usual.The wife comes back after a few hours and is shocked beyond words to see that the door is locked but the key is hanging on the keyhole.
God, please hear me out, I have just one wish, make sure TH doesnt E.V.E.R forget me.

comforting
aweomse weather- not too hot, not too cold
pleasant mid morning
ample time with not much household chores
a sudden thought and I decide to go biking
change to cycling pants, helmet
happily pedal my way
when the wheels stop functioning after a few minutes in the middle of the road.
I try, and try and try to make it work , but in vain.
I call TH and bawl right while standing on the road saying " just one day, I decide to take the cycle and this has to happen to me..I cant even enjoy a simple cycle ride, I am so unlucky"
TH on the phone, "its ok, we can check it in the evening and you can ride tomorrow".
I was in no mood to heed to the consoling and cry even more.
I calm down after 20 minutes.Walk back home while pushing the cycle along with me.
Sigh! Honey, what would I do without you?It does feel nice that you are there to comfort me even if it means skipping your lunch for resuming work on time.
