Hi!
On Sunday, I told you, dear readers,
that I was going to have an important week. So important that, I told my
manager at work that I needed half a day off. But the work that was supposed to be
done in half a day, took two whole days. And I stayed away from work, without
any intimation of my proposed leave.
The transaction – purchase of our
home.
Really??
Pinch!
Ouch. Yes. Really.
We bought a house. Now let me tell
you that all is not rosy about it, because it involves getting work done at the
Sub- Registrar’s Office. And that means – lots of “non-rosy” things which I will
not cannot say here. Sibbal might just send me a notice, you know?
Anyway, everything was supposed to
get done on Monday. It did not. Our lawyer said, “Alright. You just need to
come at 10.30 a.m. and get this done.” Simple. Yes?
No. NO! “Just get it done” means fill
up forms written with instructions in a language you cannot read, with many
hands to grease and just very disheartening to know about. So our work did not “just
get done”. When we were done it was about lunch time. I had some Xerox copying
to do, then deliver some papers in the Bank which financed our not-so-rosy-home,
relieve my bursting bladder, drink water, have lunch and then get to work. By
the time I got to the last bit – work that it is, it was 3p.m. Not a time to
get to office, and too late to inform boss of my day of absence. So, I went home,
slept, and rested my aching back.
“I expected you yesterday”, said the
Manager this morning in a grave tone. Oopsie!! No promotion next year, was my
thought. Whatever.
Food & Exercise Update:
Been a good girl, except the
Rava-Onion Dosa at Shanti Sagar on Monday, during a much needed coffee break in
the registration process. Been keeping up with Phase 1 South Beach Diet, adding
fruits, as an exception to the general phase I rules.
My elliptical, kind of died on
Sunday, and needs to be fixed. Yesterday I managed to climb a lot of steps and
walk as well. Am thinking of walking/ running in the park this evening.
Weight Read :82.3kg this morning.
But, please dear God, don’t make it increase tomorrow. I am working really hard
on this.
I might just achieve my New Year Goal of
making it below the 80 mark. Do you think I will get there? Any suggestions?
Hey congratulations on the new house.I guess more important than the new year goal is the fact that you are pushing yourself harder.In life it is important to move out of our comfort zones and that is all that counts.
ReplyDeleteThanks Abhinav. That means a lot to me emotionally. Its not the material happiness of buying the house, but a host of other emotions that are associated with it, that makes me feel accomplished, and satisfied. I will do a post about it later.
ReplyDeleteAbout the weight loss, I am getting there. Slowly, but surely.
Thanks for reading!
Oh Wow! Congrats on your new home!
