Good morning. It's 11 AM here and I am here.
. It's not my first break as usual but I am done for the day as far as online classes at school are done
. So I am free
for the day. Well at least till 3 PM when my online tuition will be there.
One of teachers of High school had to attend her child's virtual online Parents Teachers meeting. And so she callled me last evening and we agreed to exchange our classes. Well that's what colleagues do
and we didn't let the students suffer. So my working day started at 7:30 and I worked non stop since then... Teaching 3 sessions and assisting one. Now I take a big sigh of relief as that's all for the day at school front.
Since it was early morning start, I could only do a bit of chores , my yoga and making breakfast. Now I have to cook lunch in an hour time. I will get up in some time to do that
. Husband cleaned the floor and I am left with dishes and some more cleaning chores.
I received my belated birthday gift. 
. Well my birthday comes in May. So it was a way too belated
. But when it comes to gifts better late than never
It was all due to the pandemic crisis that my friend in my apartment could not come on my birthday. And then working as a doctor, she got the virus in June ( she was asymptomatic) and kept herself quarantined for three weeks even after she tested negative. She had passed on the virus to her husband too. And he showed mild symptoms. Luckily her teenage sons were not infected.
Now the quarantine for the whole family is over and she is back to her duty. A big salute to her!
We had video chats while they were in quarantine and I even sent few meals to their house. Yesterday she called to tell me that she would be dropping my gift at my door. It was a pleasant surprise
She knows my love for reading and gardening. So we gift each other books and plants. I call her succulent queen
as she has beautiful succulents in her house as decor. Well my mom would be gardening queen number one whether it comes to kitchen garden, flowers, cactus, succulents and aesthetically done garden, no body beats my mom
But next to my mom she holds that place especially with succulents
So this year she gifted me this succulent to start with
. I am excited to get it
Now I will move to notifications and reading posts. Enjoying some guavas again

I was very excited. They say succulents are easy to take care of. This is my first time with them. I loved the planter pot too much

@amitkokiladitya And if not sure just give a gift voucher. I generally do that or I am straight forward to ask what would they like when it is okay to do that.

Thank you. I am having a good day. Being half day off has helped me focus on other stuff. Did some pending chores too.

I agree! Plants make a great gift for a plant lover. This is my first time with a succulent. Hope it does well in my care
