FINALLY

Whew I finally got my red flag today! I know it is not normal to show this much enthusiasm for the monthly thing, but I was really feeling very bloated and horrid. (NO, Big Bok, unless I conceived by immaculate conception, there is no possibility of me being pregnant although the signs were similar! :P ) The cramps are bad as usual, but at least I can look forward to feeling 'lighter' tomorrow. Sorry if this was too much information to some of you.

The weekend flew by quickly as usual. Of late, the days have been flying by so quickly that the New Year will be here before you know it.

Right now, Diwali is approaching, and it entails a lot of cleaning, preparation etc. On Diwali day itself, I will be so tired out from all the prep work that I will be beyond exhaustion and moody throughout the day. When guests come, we have to serve them meals and drinks (not alcohol!) and snacks. I dont remember actually sitting down and chatting with guests at all. For me Diwali will usually be the day we have prayers for our ancestors. It usually will be about a week before Diwali and all my immediate family will congregate at my house for the prayers. HMmmm one month countdown starts now...
