Felt like a weekend after a long long time.

It's 12:05, past midnight here. Monday has officially began here. And I am wide awake in my bed in a very happy mood. Just switched off the TV after watching the finals of T20 World Cup Men's Cricket. And Yay!! India won beating New Zealand. The match never got nail biting, it was a one sided match from the beginning. Well, Indian Cricket team makes history and defeats History tonight. It has won the title two times in a row and it is the only country to win the title thrice. The country is jubilant and I can still hear firecrackers After a very very long time, this weekend felt like a real weekend. Things were crazy in December and January with frequent travels to see my sick and hospitalized mother in law. She finally passed away in mid of January and we went to do her last rites in the village as she wanted. She wanted the traditional 15 days long rituals. All this ended up in taking lots of leaves from school. And when I came back, I was overwhelmed by the piles of things to get done with both at home and work. That meant non stop work to catch up with little or no time to breath. And I came back with viral and throat infection. The deadly combination of sickness, tiredness and having a lot to do is not funny. It was 10 days of prescribed antibiotics that gave some relief after all the remedies failed. I am still not in full energy form.. But definitely feeling better and have recovered a lot. . Weekends from the time I came back from my mother in law's funeral did not feel like Weekends. I was working and felt exhausted all the time due to the infection that stayed too long. Good that I have catched up with most things and even feeling better health wise. Finally, things are getting back to normal. And this weekend I could do what I generally used to do on weekends. Enjoy, stay lazy and relaxed. I watched two movies and the final match today. . I have a long week starting..but I feel well rested and actually looking forward to it. A feeling I missed for a long time. How are you doing? Hope the weekend is going great for you. Take care.

I am so glad you are feeling better. You did so much your exhaustion lowered your immune system’s ability to fight off sickness. Thank goodness you have been able to catch up on everything. I am sorry to hear about your mother-in-law, but it must be a blessing that she is no longer suffering.

I think most cricket fans knew India would win this tournament before a ball was bowled
