2012:
Ummm.... Happy?
Not sure why, but I guess I don't a reason to be happy? First of all, I had a whole nine hours of sleep!!! I don't remember last time that happened, specially in a weekday! I went to sleep at 9 last night! JK and Neil totally thought it was so weird that I went to sleep way before they did. It's usually other way around!
Then, I had a dream of Karamsad Mandir and MJ, that always lifts me up for a whole day. Beth(my boss) is on vacation from today and I handled all the issues pretty good. I had some good chat with Darcy and later on with Lisa. I haven't talked to Lisa in over a week, so that was good to talk to her. At the end of the day, I hung out and chatted with Kerry and ???? for a little while. Usually, I have to rush home because there is always somewhere I need to get to by certain time. Today, I was supposed to go to Neil and Avni's Open House, but they didn't want me to attend it.
Avni needed leggings for school for tomorrow. They're having 80's theme, so we went to pick it up from Kalpu after dinner. Hung around there for about half an hour. So, all in all, happy day! :)
2013:
I SHOULD be happy, since I we just bought BMB SUV for me. But I can't get over the fact that I spent most of the savings for downpayment - $6k, my choice, since I wanted to get lowest possible amount for the loan($8100). I really don't like the idea of taking out the loan for the car. :(
But other than that, it had been a good day. I suppose we did need to get a car for Pooja and now, this way, Pooja can get my car and don't have to spend money for her car.
Later, we went to mom's to drop off dad's van that I had been using while he's in India. Avni had great time with Arnav and Anuj, since they don't get to see each other too often anymore. Neil was at his friend's birthday party, so he missed out on that.
2014:
Content. I have come to the terms about the lay off. Planning to make the best out of it. I'm not going to stress about it. After all, I'm in better place this time, than I was 3 yrs ago.
I made big batch of refried beans. They smelled so good that I suggested Avni and Neil to try some out with cheese and salsa. They both loved them so much that they took seconds and thirds! Even JK ate some in afternoon! Made roasted red bell pepper soup for lunch, which is always a family favorite. I had planned to check out some open houses in Pleasanton, but I decided to skip it and just relax at home.
For dinner, I made rava idli and tried out 2 chutneys (coconut and onion) that I wanted to try out for a while. I even made extra sambar powder for future use. Had huge portion of sambar leftover for future use. So, all in all productive and fun day.
2015:
Super happy and cheerful! (2/19)
In the morning, I took Ba at Kalpu's office for her tooth extraction. Before going there, I had called mom to ask for help pay Pooja's college tuition. Without any hesitation, she told me to send Pooja over to get money from her. A minute after I hung up, she called back to let me know that she'll also give her the money for my flight ticket to TX (for Namu, Kalpu's niece's wedding). After we got home from Fremont, Pooja went to mom's. A bit later, Ron, our landlord, came with a realtor to check out the home. He's debating between if he should sell the house or rent it. I really wish that JK had confirmed news that he has locked the funding and we can move by next week.
For dinner, I made Masala Capsicum curry and aloo chutney pulao. It was a HUGE hit with everyone!!! It turned out a lot better than I had expected!
2018:
Eh! I've been home all day. Had to deal with MIL's crabby mood. Soon after JK came home, she changed her colors and tried to be all nice and concerned about my lunch. I hate double faced people! Then, went to Sprint to get phone for JK. Ended up paying extra $200 because Pooja had taken the phone on his account, which she broke and in no condition to return.
Calculated family's annual income and it turned out to be $103K. $10K more than we needed to qualify for low income housing. :( Let's see what happens on that front. Still keeping my fingers crossed that something will work out.
Spent hours backing up and restoring JK's phone. Made Mulgutawny soup for dinner (which put me in a little better mood, cooking always does that for me). Neil surprised me by coming home. He texted earlier asking if he should come home. Well, of course, you should come home! What kind of question is that???
