I needed this so badly......

Here I am sitting with my cup of coffee and mylotting. I needed this cup of coffee so badly.
In all morning rush to drop my daughter to exam center, I had no time to sit and enjoy my morning coffee/tea. I could only grab my breakfast.
Now I am here and I will enjoy my cup of coffee with mylotting for a while. I have two hours before I have to leave to pick her up. I will mylot for a while and then cook lunch before picking her.
They followed the portocol to avoid overcrowding at the exam center. Police made sure that we don't create a gathering there. Even seating arrangements took care of the social distancing.
I am happy that the relay of exams is getting over for my elder one today. I am sure she would be super excited in the afternoon. I am making one of her favorite dishes today.
It's sunny and warm. I am feeling fully drained by the heat outside. I need to relax for a while here under the fan.

@yoalldudes Oh! We are getting terrible news from all quarters. 
Let's keep our hope alive.
Thanks for your wishes. My daughters exams are over and that's a big relief. Glad that it didn't get hanging up in middle due to the virus scare.

@arunima25 I have read that we have to adjust our mindset that this will be our new situation for more than a year even 2 years. Acceptance have somewhat given me peace of mind.

@arunima25 Let's see how the hotter countries fare as compared to the colder ones. Of course, no matter where we are, it is best to stay safe and avoid the possibility of being infected as much as possible. It is not time to take chances.

I think that's another myth around the virus. Wish it was true. Let's wait and see.

@kanuck1 Seems this virus is not going to spare any country. It's quite hot here but still we are getting cases. It's surviving here in the subcontinent despite of hot and humid temperature.

I can imagine how coffee helps you! I see that at every person who drinks coffee. But I don't drink coffee, so I haven't really felt it's effects on me.

@arunima25 It is good that you can drink it. I am one of the rare people who cannot stand coffee at all.

@arunima25 I’m glad they are over for her, too.
It would be awful to drag them out.

Same here. Even these national level exams are postponed to uncertainty. Glad that it got over for my daughter.

@arunima25 I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. I'm glad she got the exams completed before they were canceled.

@just4him Now with the current situation, those students have to wait in uncertainty. The exams are postponed till next notice and nothing seems clear now. Looks like this virus crisis is definitely going to derail a lot of things... Even delay the sessions.

We are relieved. You know the very next day few important exams were postponed to uncertainty mid way. Definitely students are not comfortable with it. But can't help with the situation.

@arunima25 Much better that it's all finished than having one exam or whatever hanging in the air.

@JudyEv Yes. As such they had a relay of exams going on since December. Now it's over and they can enjoy other things else the hanging in air thing would have spoiled their holidays and ruined the days also. Now they can focus on other indoor enjoyment and learning.

I am also having some coffee earlier while also doing some posts and comments here at mylot. At a time like this, I am glad that we still have mylot. This is just like other social media flatforms. But the difference is that we are getting paid for being active here.

@allenjames Yes. I look forward to few users each time I come here. I share interest of cooking and gardening with them. And a few make me travel around the world and tell me trivia factors. I feel I get enriched in a way.

Yes. I find it more productive here. Also the posts here and discussions are better than on Facebook. Plus the earning is always the motivating factor

I dread summer. It doesn't suit me. I get a lot of issues. And guess! It's here and I have started showing the symptoms.
