‘It is so reassuring to see your breakfast pics. Please build up on your happiness.
Continuing to pray for both of you.’
I was so touched to get this DM when I woke up. As I have been to get DMs, messages, read comments, from so many of you wishing us a speedy recovery and good health. I cherish these and feel truly fortunate.
We went to our doc last evening who was pleased with my progress. Medication, rest and eating sensibly remain the mantra for now.
I woke up early this morning after a deep and restful sleep. Taking advantage of the early hour, I chanted and then, feeling hungry, made my breakfast for the first time since I fell ill post covid. The simplest thing to make. Fried egg, with a sprinkling of chaat masala and a dab of coriander chutney, and wholewheat sourdough toast. I gave breakfast to the boys too. Nimki shares my passion for breakfast. Loaf joined us too.
I didn’t want to disturb K who through the last week would wake up, though fatigued herself post Covid, to make me breakfast and coax me to have it and then make me take my meds. Today was the first time I was upto making it myself and she deserved the rest (though Loaf kept waking her up.) I went off to sleep after breakfast. 8.30 am. Later had a small bowl of fruits and an espresso for a mid morning snack.
Last night I wrote a short story and put it up on Insta. I kept fighting sleep till I uploaded it. Which is why I am going to continue with my self imposed embargo on clicking and posting my food. I can’t afford to fight sleep now. Or not rest. I am in the middle of reading a nice book. I want to focus on that. Once I click pics on the other hand, I would want to write and then it becomes a cycle.
I do come to Instagram at times. I can’t identify a lot of the food and other excesses on display I confess, but it’s fine. Passive entertainment.
Stay safe and thank you for your wishes and love.
Ps: Did you see our new dining table? K did all the research and we chose the final one together. It came at the right time as we love sitting here together.
