Good morning from this side of the planet. It's 10:30 AM Sunday here. The sun came out happily for a while in the morning but not for too long. It is cloudy again but luckily no signs of rain. We had night long light showers. The picture here shows our happy hibiscus plant enjoying the sun that came for a while.
It's the last day of my three months long vacation as I get back to work from tomorrow. So, I want to enjoy it to the fullest 
Nothing much on the plan except for visiting our family friend on the other side of the city. We plan to start by 2 in the afternoon. It's an hour drive on Sunday when there is less traffic. We plan to be there till 9 PM. We want to be back home and be in bed by 10:30 to start with early morning week tomorrow.
We have our evening tea and dinner with them. We have started our morning late and so will have our brunch with leftovers in some time. I just had my morning tea and dry fruits. No cooking today 
We look forward to meeting this family. They often visit us whenever they are coming to this side of the city. They have a beautiful home with lovely garden, party and barbecue area. They have visited us several times, we are going to their home after 3 years. We plan to have some games, karaoke and other fun stuff. They have one daughter who is one year senior to my elder one in the same college. My both girls gel very well with her. So, each one has a company there and some fun things to do
. It's my first outing since my surgery. I am really excited for it And also, some good fun before I start with my work tomorrow.
I couldn't be much here yesterday due to all the preparation that I had to do to start my work. I will be missing today too.I am really looking forward to my work.
Hope all is well in your corner. Stay happy and healthy.

Have a good time with your friends this evening. I hope you have everything ready to start work tomorrow.
Today has been fairly quiet on myLot... I spent most of the day asleep and may sleep part of the night as well. I'm still sleepy.

Thank you. I am looking forward to having a good time especially with Karaoke of Bollywood numbers. My younger one is super excited with anything to do with music
.
It's all prepared. In fact, in the last two days, I spent most of my time to get things planned for at least two weeks. My energy level might not be so high after coming back from work. Body will take some time to adjust after this long break and health issues. So, better be prepared.
Even I notice a very slow paced site today. Maybe many are still away celebrating the long weekend. They should be traveling back. Hope that the activities pick up. As such, it has dropped down a lot lately.

@arunima25 Unfortunately, myLot always slows down during the summer in the US. Many people here take this time to visit family, take vacations and just generally wind down for a month or two while their kids are out of school.
As long as I can see, I'm here but even I miss some time during the high heat of summer.
I'm glad you've got things ready in advance for the start of your return from "vacation" and hope you'll be able to gradually work your way back into full-time work without causing problems for yourself.

@DaddyEvil Yes, summers time is a slow time for the site. We can just hope that the activities will pick up slowly once the vacation is over. Seems like it's a harsh heat there this year. The news of heatwaves keep flashing. Take care. .
I had a good day at work today. It went smoothly. But yes, I was exhausted. Body will take some time to get used to it

@arunima25 Yes. You'll get used to it presently. It's but natural that you may feel exhausted. But that won't hurt you much as each day passes.
Yes. I'm having a good time as well. It's raining here and the atmosphere is cool.

@abhi_bangal You are right. It takes time to get adjusted, especially after a health issue. Hope that the cool weather continues and you enjoy it.

Looks like a nice plan although the kind of traffic I hear about in Bangalore makes me wonder if 9 PM would be early enough for a 10.30 return?
Anyways, enjoy the sunshine after long rains.
Here, we had a few days of good rains but then most of the days have seen cloud covers but high humidity is testing us a lot.

The hide and seek between rains and heat-humidity goes on here.
By the way I have taken a few "very casual" leaves.
I told my manager clearly.
It is tough to explain this but in short at times, we are just fed up with the monotony and the never ending life spiral.
There needs to be a break somewhere.
I am at a place alone, switching between random strolling and just doing nothing at times.
Anyways have a nice Mid Week Evening!

I hope that your husband takes the right decision.
If he has other plans and sufficient Monetary reserves, I think it would be good.
If you still want to accumulate more, may be continue for at least 1.5 to 2 years.
Rest is up to you folks.
And gradually I am feeling that Employers are becoming more and more insensitive to employees' needs and feelings and expect them to be super efficient, super productive robots and not give them sufficiently in return.

Yes. I was looking forward to it and it turned out really good. Everyone had a fun time. I badly needed this, especially because this whole vacation went confined in home dealing with medical issues. We went no where. So, it was a much needed break.
It was Sunday and late night it was less traffic. We started at 9:40 and were home at 10:45. We could get enough night rest to start early.
Humidity can make things worse. It has been cloudy, rainy and cold here for weeks now. So, the little sun that we get is highly appreciated.

Thank you. I am glad that you liked them. Hibiscus do well with minimum care. I have a dozen varieties.
We had a great time at our friend's place yesterday. Everyone had a good time. And we were back in time to catch up enough night rest to get started early in the morning. First day at work was smooth and great. My recent discussion talks about it.
You too have a great week

Thank you. I returned to work today and it was great. It went smoothly, but I was exhausted at the end. My body will need some time to get used.
Glad that the storm didn't reach your place. Has it caused devastation elsewhere?

Hibiscus need very less care, mine do well with minimum effort. I too have dozen varieties.
