Great day at work

Good afternoon from this side of the world. It's sunny right now, we just had some nice pouring half an hour back. Glad that I was back from work before it started to rain. It's 1:30 PM here. I just finished my lunch of hot rice and spicy egg curry. Now I plan to be in online world for a while. My afternoon therapy sessions start at 4 in the afternoon. I came back home at 12 and as soon as I entered the home, it started pouring. It was so sudden, we had a bright sun since the morning. And the heavy pouring lasted for a little more than half an hour and it stopped abruptly, the bright sun is out again. Can't predict what will happen next Had a great day at work, took two one to one sessions and met with one mother for her concerns. That's all for the work front. Was happy and emotional to see a bouquet of pink roses with welcome back card. It was there on my work desk from all my students and colleagues. Isn't it gorgeous . I got hugs too. Seems like I was missed. It's always nice to get that little pampering from colleagues at work So, I clicked this picture as soon as I came back home in one of the corners in my home library. And asked my daughter to put them in flower vase with water. I really hope that they stay fresh for a while. Work was fun. I felt exhausted too. I took a nap and the rain sound made me sleep well. I slept for almost 45 minutes only to wake up as my daughter called for lunch Not sure if I would go for another of my regular nap at 3. I might catch some before I start the therapy sessions. Well, our body takes some time yo adjust to a new routine after a surgery or any sickness or just staying out of the routine for a while. Hope all is well with you. I will meet you in the notifications for now. Take care

It's 4 in the morning here. It sounds like you had a very nice day back and were missed. It's always nice to be missed. I might make breakfast once mom gets up but I think she's going to want to get ready to go up the hospital to see dad. He got transferred to the ICU last night.

@JordanLader A power nap of 20_40 minutes in the afternoon has been my ritual for two decades now. But these days, I take few naps. This surgery has taken a toll on my energy. I love pink roses, though yellow ones are my favourite

I'm glad you made it home before it started raining. If you meant to post a photo, it didn't populate on myLot. But it does sound lovely. (You can add two teaspoons of sugar to 1 liter of fresh water in a vase to help fresh flowers last longer. You'll need to make up fresh sugar water every couple of days when the water starts to look cloudy.) I hope the nap helped refresh you and you're having a good day.

Thank you. I really count it as a blessing to have good caring people around. Well, no one is perfect. We do have our shares of fights, conflicts, arguments etc. But then these are the moments I want to keep as memories . We had couple of such episodes of heavy pouring for a while (15-20 minutes) and then bright sun. It was a crazy day weatherwise.

That's so thoughtful that you were given such a lovely bunch of flowers. You might be a bit tired for a day or two until you adjust to working again.
