Ramblings Only

So last night I realized I have to get some charts done, mundane data entry and chart drawing. It took me 4 hours with ARR Hindi songs in the background. I usually dont get such a big chunk of time at work at a stretch. Felt good! Although I am sleepless a little bit. I want to work hard, and do things faster. As I was waiting for the tool to spit out simple drop down menu options, I couldnt stand it. That 5 sec, 10 sec delay for every entry per person per project per milestone, adds up :--P After a slump over the weekend when all I wanted to do was sleep, I am back to my jittery self without caffeine. Thats right! 9 months of no caffeine!

I guess I need my doctor to say I will die if I eat so much and THEN I will stop eating. My Amma has become frail. I can see her collar bones and I haven't seen her collar bones like ever. ;--( I wish I could call them here, but they are going for regular check ups every 15 days. I have half a mind to visit them over Christmas holidays, make a short trip. But I end up giving more work for my mom when I visit. :--( 

I think I have written about my chubby little mappillai, my brother's son. It was his Baptism this Sunday, parents flew to Delhi for a day and came back. I have to see him too!

It is time for my yearly eye check up and I am kinda scared to go. I need to get checked for keratoconus to see if there are symptoms. I feel like my symptoms have worsened. Then there is my ringing ear. I kinda cheated on my hearing test but I can feel some pressure differences in my ear.

Body giving up slowly and I am only 36 darn it! As they say it is all in the genes. One can cover up many things, but genes, nope! 

Energy levels are way down. Lack of exercise may be partly to blame. Lack of exercise is because of a dysfunctional ankle. Another doctor check up due.

So anyways, back to happy thoughts. Isn't life all about being happy for things that are RIGHT in your life? 

- My keyboard is out and set up in daughter's room. Nostalgia central! In 2003-2004 time when I was generally depressed in cold cold Madison, I went for Piano and Art classes when I bought this keyboard. After carrying it from house to house barely using it, totally retiring in the garage once dotter was born, finally we found a real use for it. Dotter has started music lessons. We don't have a music system at home, have not set up the TV, which is turning out to be a good thing, the piano filled the house with soulful classic music. Now it is a pain to get dotter to be serious and practice. Let us see how it goes.

- over the weekend we went to an art festival in downtown. They had free shuttle from the neighborhood, environmentally conscious, also parking trouble. We drove anyway because Tesla, duh, found parking quite a few blocks out near the church, opposite a house which had a couple on the steps outside reading and watching us park. We weren't sure if we should park and asked 'can we park here?' ' yeah for a little bit, Tesla is always welcome' came the reply with a smile. Pah, Mia gets too much attention everywhere. It was nice to see displays of art by local folks. There was a piano in the middle that said 'play me!' And the dotter who is one class old in music eagerly played 'two black keys and thumb thumb thumb' and got applauses ;--P
