Good morning from this side of the planet. It's 9:30 AM. I got up an hour back after sleeping for almost 9 hours at a stretch.
, the longest in recent times. I was so relaxed yesterday after completing everything on my professional to do list. And I love Saturday morning when there is no rush. My daughter left for her college at 9 , she had cereal and milk for breakfast. She will be back by 2 to have lunch. They have some inter house competition and she is participating in few events. They will be provided snacks by the college there. I am still in my pyjamas being lazy. Husband has made tea for one round and we just had that with some marie biscuits. We are planning to have another round of tea before we go ahead with the day plan. Nothing much planned, I want to keep the day lazy with minimum to do. Less cooking, less cleaning and more relaxing.
We will go ahead with milk cereal for our breakfast and maybe a quick khichdi for lunch. We might even order food if we wish. We have not ordered anything in 2025.
It's sunny and pleasant day. I have lots of interesting articles in the newspaper that I have kept aside to read. I plan to read them in the afternoon listening to music. I plan to make few outlines of Mandala and Zentangle this weekend and keep them with me. One of them is a order. I will fill the colours when I am in recovery phase post surgery. These are healing arts and I find them very therapeutic.
That's all for the plan for weekend. Hope all is well in your corner. Enjoy your weekend.

I am also a morning lark. 5AM to 1 PM is my most energetic and productive time for me. I start slowing down after lunch and then a power nap at 3 helps to recharge for rest of the day..
Mandala and Zentangle are healing art forms. I enjoy Madhubani and worli too. I remember you sharing some digital mandala. I prefer to do with hands, it's more therapeutic.

After my shower this morning, I put sleep shorts on and haven't done much today.
I haven't been feeling my best so climbed back in bed when I normally stay up... I've also fallen twice today when I was attempting to go get something to eat. Pretty heard me fall the second time and insisted I stay in bed. She brought me a sandwich for lunch and then cooked chicken, mashed potatoes and biscuits for our supper this evening.
I've taken naps today and finished one book and started another...
I hope you enjoy your day.5 people like this

@arunima25 Thank you...
I get dizzy and, if there isn't a wall or furniture for me to grab onto, I fall down. It's the reason I'm supposed to use a cane now, so I have something to help balance with.
I am feeling better now, thanks.
I was reading a 20 book series called Witch Ways: 20 Full-Length Novels (and 1 Novella). All of them except one were interesting and held my attention.
The book I'm reading now is called Shadow's Edge and is another book about witches. I'm about half way through it and finding it interesting enough that I marked it so I can buy the rest of the books in this series when I have the money to do that.
I go to Amazon.com and type in whatever genre sounds interesting to me at the time and download the first books in a series (Amazon offers the first book in a series for free and you can buy the rest of the books if you like the first one enough.)
I just asked for books about witchcraft this time around and downloaded 15 novels by different authors. (I use the Kindle app on my phone to read the novels. They're all stored in the Kindle Cloud and I can access them on any device that has the Kindle app on it. That would be my phone, my Kindle Color tablet and my laptop.)
I'm glad you've had a relaxing day and think you should take another relaxing day instead of doing work around the house. The work will still be there later and you've been working hard lately, getting things ready for when you're recovering from surgery.

@DaddyEvil My elder daughter is into such fantasy kind of novels. I guess that she has read Shadow witch. I am not into fantasy and science fiction. I will suggest her this one. She might have read it. She is a voracious reader. She reads around 200_300 books in a year.
Tomorrow is mostly lazy day as per the plan. I will just order the grocery, they will deliver it on my doorstep. And I want to make some yarn balls and sort them in different containers so that the cupboard looks organized. I can do that while watching TV with my younger daughter. She has asked me to watch Moana with her tomorrow after lunch

I am sorry that you had two falls today. I hope that all is okay and it's nothing concerning there. What was the reason? Some blood pressure issue?
Good that Preity took care of the meals. She is caring and a good support. Take good rest. Hope you are feeling better as I write this.
Which book did you finish? And which one you started?
I had a good relaxed day. Tomorrow I plan to get few things around the house.

I assume that the R&R is for Rest and Relax. I had enough of that today and I am feeling good about it. Hope that your weekend is going good too

@arunima25 Bingo! Yes, rest and relax. We have been doing that here as well, since we both have foot injuries right now.
I hope you had a great weekend!

Nothing wrong with enjoying life. One you probably earned that. In fact think you did and two, since you did you better enjoy it or what is the point? Have a great weekend.

Post surgery?
I have not perhaps read a few of your posts so I am not aware.
I hope that things go well for you.
I can understand how refreshed you felt after the rest you got today.
Even I had some good rest today after many days.
We were in some travel for some time.
Mandala and Zentangle sound quite interesting.
I recently got Marie biscuits after a long time.
I prefer digestives of different varieties.
Have a nice evening.

Yes, a surgery is planned for 5th or 6th of May. I am undergoing total hysterectomy and bilateral ovariectomy. My severs endometriosis for 16 years now along with the menopausal symptoms is actually making life pathetic in the last few months. My doctor kept saving me from going under a knife for almost a decade as I was young. But now she feels that this would be good to improve my quality of life. Too much of steroids on and off is not advisable to control this.
I felt quite energetic in the morning but didn't want to waste the energy. I had a lazy day but post afternoon I got a few things done around the house.
Hope that your travel was good. I assume that it was a family vacation.
I enjoy these art forms, find them healing.
We too prefer Digestive, but once in a while will have marie.
Have a good time. It was good to hear from you after a long.
