Had a lot of dish washing detergents for today... don’t know how it’s going to affect my day.I just hope it don’t affect my appetite.

It all started when I wanted to drink water from my bottle this morning at work, had a nice big sip and after I swallowed it down... got this weird taste of soap... so I decided ok its fine (happened before).. Let me rinse it and top it again... this time confident of the soapiness gone… I had an even bigger sip... Mild though the soapy feeling was still there... so I decided forget that one will use another bottle so asked the tea boy for another one filled it and had my first sip of clean (not sure :) but definitely not soapy) water at work....:) then as I sat smiling with satisfaction..

The tea boy appears again with my bottle filled with water and insisting that I taste and see if the water was fine..... I tried to convince him that I didn’t want to... But he insisted since apparently he'd put in time to rinse it... so I tasted it... (The nice obliging girl that I am) and what do you know... Soapy water again... Not sure if it was in my head or what... I told him the feeling was still there and he said... "Haan maine.. phir se sabun se dhoya aur bahut baan pani pass kiya..!!!" and I was like "Phir se sabun!!!!!...Sigh!!! koi baat nahi..." what else could I say Just smiled and said "Thank you"

Trying to look on the bright side... Maybe my system would be clean today....ooo just heard my stomach make noise... Hoping alls well in there :()

If I survive thro the day...... you'll definitely know tomorrow... he he...

When in doubt.. DISCARD!!!!

Heard the following at a service yesterday, and just wanted to share it... :).. like an eye opener...makes your wanna be grateful...

Today I drove our car to work!!!! And I am so happy about it…!!!! Dad was with me of course…

Was a little scary at first, felt like dad was scared too... And really never imagined dad would let me drive to work… but he did and am really grateful for that... I asked dad on the way… "Are you scared" and he said "No am not"...then "I wasn't too" :) That was very encouraging...Before any turn my dad would say "turn on the left indicator darling" and I could actually feel the care and love there..

I'm sure it must've taken a lot of courage for dad to make the decision to let me drive.. cause I've been asking him for a long long time… FYI have had my license for 5 years now… if your smiling/laughing I'm not surprised… but the bottom line is I drove and I'm safe, dad's safe, no one was hurt and I'm very happy….

And as opposed to what I thought, "I've realized that when your ecstatic about something there are never enough of people to share it with.." , today everyone was at the right place…!!!

I said at 10:30..

... Was always under the impression that 6 hours sleep is good for me.. but for some strange reason.. I did not wake up with that "good" awake feeling today inspite of my 6 hrs

Some probable reasons could be...

• Woke up today feeling really cold.. That's when I realized yeah Isa pizza not around to turn the AC off when she wakes up.. until yesterday I did wake up to the right temperature
• Lock the door soon as I got up – something I don't usually do…again isa piza
• Gloomy weather been like that since yesterday

At 14:24 I said…

Burp!!!!.. had a nice meal at Udpi.. tried the thali for a change and so full.. thank God we walked back.. else I'd not be able to work now.. J the weather changed magically.. like it always does here

Guess that'll be all for today getting on with work..
