Good morning from this side of the planetIt is 11 AM here and I just logged out from my work and came here immediately.. Work at school is over for the day. I am munching on almonds, walnut, and dates as my mid-morning snacks and mylotting. I will be here for good 30 minutes before I head to the kitchen to cook lunch. It is a simple menu of steamed rice, dal( lentil soup), potatoes and cauliflower fry, raw banana fry and curd along with sliced cucumber, onions, and green chili pickles. There are dishes waiting in the sink from the breakfast and I will clean them as I cook..multitasking in kitchen I need to send a couple of official mails in the late afternoon and also clean my inbox. I have not done that in a week and I have a ton to delete and a few important ones to sort and save them in their designated folders. I also need to pay my electricity bill, water bill and place a few orders on Amazon. As I take care of them in the afternoon, I will peep and work on another site. Right now I have a little more than 30 minutes in hand and I want this to be fully a mylotting time Have a good time in your mylot corner. Enjoy mylotting

Good morning. We are having a late night here...or rather early morning and just decided on a snack before bed. I'm going to pop a couple of small potatoes in the microwave for a fast mini meal. Enjoy the rest of your day!

@arunima25 We are both retired so stay up late watching television/movies. Don't have to wake up at a specific time.

What keeps you awake for so late on a weekday? Those popped small potatoes sound yummy and a good midnight mini-meal.

You will certainly be busy. Today is Friday date night and recently returned from golfing with hubs, my son, and his girlfriend. Had brunch on the patio. Going to try to make a dent in my notifications.

I would also wash dishes while cooking. I can't just wait in front of the stove after all.

I do the same. While cooking I try to finish other work in the kitchen like cleaning shelves, arranging grocery, washing dishes, cleaning the microwave etc. That makes sense while we are waiting for food to be cooked on the stove.

Yum! I like almonds and walnuts but don't care for dates. (All I ever see are mean girls, so don't want a date with any of them. ) I hope you have a great day.

You have lots of responsibilities on your shoulders. . Is it your domain to pay the electricity bills etc.?

@arunima25 I feel it's a kind of additional responsibility which has been assigned to you. . I can't guess if you volunteered for it or it was thrust upon you. In my case paying all bills is my responsibility. She looks after other areas.

Yes, taking care of all the bills fall in my domain including that of my husband's personal phone. He is more of the financial planner though he involves me there too. Managing and tracking them is my responsibility.

@dpk262006 He used to travel a lot for his business before this pandemic. And he is quite busy with his job. Besides job, he is always busy with his patents and paper publishing, etc.So most of the responsibilities fell on my shoulders be it attending PTM, paying bills, insurances, tracking our savings, etc. It is not that I pay it with my money. He pays it. I am just the facilitator. When he is around, he shares a lot of load of chores.

Better to do it at a time when we are comfortable. We have to be careful while doing online banking and not make mistakes.

It's 11am here (and I'm sure it's much later where you are now) but I thought it was funny we were both myLotting at the same time. Your snack of almonds, walnuts and dates sound healthy and delicious. Another busy day for you. I paid my bills yesterday and I'm glad I don't have any more to pay until the end of the month. Enjoy your day

@Nakitakona Their school started for few days in January and February but then the second wave of virus hit our country really hard and they were back to online classes. I was waiting for their online school to get over.

Those were my mid-morning snacks. And it was just a handful. I always play music once my school sessions are over. Rest other works are done with music in background

You too have a good time in your cornerSteamed rice is a staple food for most of India, especially for lunch. I guess it is the same for most Asian countries.
