Report for the 9th of August
Shraavan
I love this month of Shraavan. Festivals galore. The nostrils tickle with the fragrances associated with the month. Somehow the same chandan incense stick smells different when the Gods are adorned with fragrant flowers, when it is raining heavily outside and the fragrance of the cardamom , ghee and jaggery floats through the house as the naivedya is being prepared. The crackle of the new sari or the old silk as I walk through the house, an odd flower sticking out of my head, the distinct fragrance of the kumkum which is now mixed with my sweat and dripping down the brow and down the bridge of my nose ....the chunky corals round my neck, the bangles on my wrist..... all the finery . Reminds me of similar times during my childhood when I used to look forward to seeing my mother dress up so.
91.5
walked at home. remembered to have a glass of water. No oedema. But the foot hurt where I tie my laces. The calf muscles responded well. 60 mins fly by when I walk at home. Participating in all conversations as I walk a lap 30 steps from my room to the drawing room passing by daughter's room, the kitchen and even the small family room where the daughter is usually stretched out watching a movie or a TV serial.
Breakfast - 2 dosas
Lunch
1 mango
3 small portions of pizza
2 rasgullas
dinner at 10.45
Bedtime at 1.00 am Weight 92.6
Snack time in the evening is my bane. From 5.00 pm to 8.00 pm .
