Good morning from this side of the planet. It's 11:45 AM as I write this post. So, few minutes shy of afternoon. I was missing here yesterday. I got busy with few other stuffs in offline world. I finished typing a couple of my mom's poems when I got some time to be on screen. Did cook lunch. Rest meals were taken care by my family. Folded laundry, attended a workshop for autistic people by autistic people themselves and later in the night did bit of puzzle with my younger daughter. We are doing good with the puzzle and soon I should be posting the complete picture.. And I took a good two hours nap in the afternoon Today I don't have much planned for the day. I just have registered for a free online class for post covid recovery through yoga and meditation from Art of Living. It's a three days course of one hour each day from 5_6 in the evening. So my evenings are booked for next three days. I hope that I can spend some time here in the afternoon and catch up a bit I will be here for some time before I head to kitchen to make lunch. Hope all is well in your corner. Stay blessed.

You are right. Today I am done with most of my offline things and so can be here till I feel sleepy for my afternoon nap. Mylot is always there and we can be flexible about it.

You are so right. Especially in this pandemic and lockdown. There is no time and space restrictions for anything. You are at home juggling between all at the time

@LadyDuck Though I was here for some time yesterday, I could only answer few notifications and even now I am doing that only. Hope that I would be able to catch up with few new posts today.

I enjoy here. It helps me unwind and relax. The days I go missing here, I feel that there is something missing in my day You are right. Offline life always has a priority over online life.

You know we'll still be here when you find time to fit us into your schedule. Sometimes you have other things that need your attention more than we do.

Offline life always has a priority over online life.But then I enjoy being here. It helps me unwind and relax. Helps me with my happy hormones and immunity. A day without mylotting seems like something missing in the day. That's the best thing about mylot. You have flexibility of time and space.

@erictsuma Going good. Yesterday was like a regular day. Today I made some chicken recipe for my family and a nice vegetarian curry for myself. I was not cooking a proper meal for a month as I had virus and was in recovery mode. Just managed with simple quick healthy meals and soups. So happy that we had a good meal today. And it's Mother's day too

Thank you..I believe in power of yoga and meditation. It's these things that made my natural immunity to fight the virus well without needing much of treatment and I am thankful to God for that. And now they become even more important in my recovery phase. I am able to do it as much as my body supports right now and it's helping.

@arunima25 Good, slow and steady, and a loving family means a lot. You have a lot to look forward to and I pray you are safe and fully recovered soon. I came to India to be with my mother end of February last year. I was fortunate to return just in a month after returning to Singapore as my mother passed away after two months. She was laid up for a few years but active mentally. She was so happy that we were all there when she breathed her last. Now no scheduled flights and with the quarantine in force we rather would wait out for some normalcy to return. Uncertain times indeed for all.

@Shiva49 Well, it was God's plan. Glad you could be with her in her last times. Our nephew is in Singapore and my brother in law is hit hard by covid. He is in critical condition and today only he showed some stability. Since last few days my husband has a video call with doctors, his sister and nephew. He takes all in conference to settle down things and make medical decisions. My nephew is restless to come to his father but then it's not possible. Tough times

I am almost okay and so is my daughter. Yes, fortunately we had mild symptoms and our immunity fought well. We didn't have to go for any unnecessary medicine and treatment. Body's natural immunity worked. And though I won't say that I am back to my superactive self, I am going slow and steady and busy with work. At least able to put simple three times healthy meals for my family and do the needed chores. Family is giving a lot of support. Back to some easy yoga asanas and 40 minutes of pranayam. So that feels good Home is the safest place to be in this pandemic. Where are you these days? In India??

@arunima25 that good to hear. one should always listen to their body and act accordingly. Sometimes people just push the limits and their body collapses. Never should one do that. never overexaust your body. Good, you are taking care of yourself.

I guess we all have days like that. Sometimes we don't have the time and many a times when we are free, we might not have the strength or mojo. But then mylot is a wonderful place and best thing is that we have flexibility here.

Do you work a lot with autistic kids? Autism is NOT my area of "expertise," but I find working with them fascinating.

Yes, I have worked with quite a few. Not much with non verbal ones. Most of them were high functioning and on spectrum. They are fascinating.
