The month of June brought back the semblance of routine and order in my life. Those of us in Bangalore have our lives go topsy turvy in April and May with summer vacations for kids. Our schedules go for a toss. Vacation and travel is on everyone’s minds. So come 1st June and it was back to Coco and me at home. Each of us relishing our silences. 🙂 So grateful that I have the choice to work from home and hardly commute.
I also went back to blogging regularly. The entire month of April and half of May I was away from blogging and blog hopping. I guess, after the entire year, this break does you good. It makes you recharge your creative energies. And, this year for the first time, I didn’t fret at all. No FOMO! I guess, even blogging has its learning curve. 🙂 Grateful to have got a good break and to have traveled well this vacation.
I also went ahead and made my cooking blog – Rachna cooks self-hosted. There were minor hiccups in redirecting from the old domain but the husband came to the rescue and ironed out all problems. Well, I am always grateful to have him by my side and on my side.
I cannot talk about June and not speak of the weather. When most of the country is sweltering under heat and humidity, we in Bangalore are blessed with blissful weather. Billowy clouds, bountiful rains, green all around and chilly weather. Seriously, weather is what still endears Bangalore to me. Rest we all know where roads, traffic, pollution, power cuts are headed in every major city in this country. So very grateful to be calling Bangalore my home.
I have been reading more but have a very long way to go in feeling satisfied about it. Somehow, I feel distracted when reading. Don’t know why. My workouts are back on track, more or less, except when I miss out on my walks due to evening rains. Grateful for the fitness, stamina and health that this regularity bestows on me.
Can’t believe that half of the year has already gone. First FAs are looming large for the children. The elder son is going full throttle on activities, projects, quizzes and school work. I hardly get to speak to the guy except when I am reprimanding him. Hence, the younger son is my constant companion. His erratic behavior though is exasperating. Working on the tantrums that surface off and on.
So that’s about all for June. How was your June?
