Unwell and alone!

One of the saddest things is when you are not well and alone! Nobody to ask how you are doing, nobody to ask what you would like to eat, nobody to put on the music you like- it really is no fun.

As I came back to Boston, my wife has had to take off to Texas on work, and I came down with some kind of a cold. Now, a cold is really bugging. Its not serious enough for you to be in bed, but you're still not fine. The head feels heavy, the nose runs incessantly and you don't even feel like reading. I also became slightly irritable, just at myself wondering why this was happening and whether this was psychosomatic (which, by the way I think it is). Last night, as I was struggling to get back to shape, I decided to do things that make me feel comfortable and back at home. That meant cooking (nicely done black daal), writing the blog, having plenty of fruits and water, and topping off the night by watching Jay Leno and reading a bit of Covey.

As luck would have it, the moment I woke up today, I felt so much better. The plan for the day would be to continue to eat fruits, plenty of salads, have the daal I cooked last night, read Covey, close in on the apartment rental, follow the India- Sri Lanka final where the Lankans have put up a very good score for us to chase, drive a little bit just to get some fresh air and again, have water all day long. Isn't this such a comfortable plan? I hope to have beaten my cold by the end of the day and look forward to my wife coming back from Texas this Friday!
