Good morning from this side of the planet 
. It's 9:05 AM and a cloudy morning again.
Yesterday was a busy day and all being busy for good reasons. I had two online meetings in the morning on work front, just to get updated with the current situation in school as I go back there from Monday. They were good meetings and gave me a lot of comfort to go back
My younger daughter had her last exam over yesterday and she came back excited. It's two weeks break for her now before next semester begins. And she wants to pamper her elder sister with her cooking. It's just one more week that my elder one is here and then she will leave for her college. Her two months long vacation gets over. Time flies! Now, we will see her next in December or maybe in Diwali if she gets at least a week break to come this far. Else she can have Diwali with my mom and brother who are close to her.
My younger daughter wanted to make butter chicken Masada for dinner. I got busy with ordering chicken and other things that she wanted. We watched one episode of Extraordinary Attorney Woo after our lunch. Then a nap and then two therapy sessions in the afternoon.
Dinner was good. Chicken butter Masala was just perfect. I tasted the gravy and it was awesome. She fried some paneer and added to the gravy separately for my vegetarian choice. We enjoyed some fresh yummy mangoes for dessert.
I was really busy for good reasons. I did have some free time before bedtime but I just wanted to stay away from any screen and read. I read few pages of book that I am currentlyreading. So,except for the little time I spent here in the morning, I stayed away from online space whole day. And it did feel good.
Let's see how the day unfolds today. I am hoping for another busy productive day. And I have some art on the plan today to relax and also, to get the sample ready for coming week for my students. Getting one sample ready before I teach my students gives me confidence
Hope that all is well in your corner. . What's the plan at your end?
Stay happy and healthy.

@arunima25 I'm not real crazy about her; and she doesn't do extractions or implants like my previous dentist did.

You had fun!
You're watching K-dramas too? Their time travel and historical dramas are also great. Tunnel, Faith, Signal, Jumong, Dongyi. You may want to watch these too.
BTW, I have tasted chicken masala and it is okay. There's an Indian store/diner near the school. What dish would you recommend?

@Jenaisle Oh! We have a long list...butter chicken, tandoori chicken, chicken biryani, Kadai chicken... and many more. They all are yummy. They are made quite spicy here. Maybe there it won't be so spicy to suit the spice tolerance of locals there.

I am not much into K Drama or any TV watching as such. When elder daughter comes from her college, she brings all these recommendations and we watch with her. It's a way to spend time with my girls. They are into K drama a lot.
What all dishes are there in their menu?

Yes, it was. I try to be online as much as I can. But don't want to overstretch myself. My online time will reduce from coming week as I get back to work and become more busy.
