Christmas is
basically the time of the year my Mom gives Santa a tough competition, in terms
of hyper activeness. Baking cakes, making cutlets, distributing wine, setting
up the Christmas tree and managing guests. But this
time around, God decided to give her some rest and let the others run. My Mom
was diagnosed with Dengue and is in the hospital now, but she is better and
almost ready to be discharged. You know the hangover of a viral fever, or a flu
attack, when all you want to do is just sleep. Like a log. She will go through
that phase next, that is mostly around Christmas time. To know that my mother
is in hospital and be an ocean apart from her is no simple deal either.
Sometimes all one can do is to hold on to positivism and top that up with prayers.
It works, I know it. So her daughters, my sister and I will visit and brighten
Christmas day for her, yay!
Other news
around here is that my son turned one and a half – and it was time for his
vaccination. It happened yesterday, and by evening he became very warm with
fever and it continues. Whatever happened to my plea to the scientists worldwide
to make this damn thing oral?
In other news, all my footwear are either
broken or looks historic so need to pile up on that. Now that’s got to be
frustrating for someone at home. Guess who ;-)
We are taking
off to India (Kerala, to be precise) coming Thursday, and yes I will be going
dutifully to Cochin, his place first. The silver lining is, it is also the best
place for shoe and accessories shopping! Talk about perfect timing for rear and
tear: D
Now here is a secret. I got this email today. I am sure, going by the subject line, my husband is not going to be too happy.
I opened the mail secretly, when he was not around, and found this:
No, but thanks !
Merry Christmas, everyone !
