    Hi all,
    I'm back after quite a long gap. IL is blocked in my office all of a sudden so can see IL only when I return back to home N complete dinner tasks as well as my Kiddo's! So from now on it's going to be very less time spent in IL will miss badly ...

    Today was a very productive day in terms of workout as well as cooking N cleaning!!!!
    Wanna write more but will continue tomorrow...

    PS: any tips/ tricks to make IL work in my office system???

    Good morning all
    Nothing to report.

    I am very happy since yesterday at the advent of "utharaayanam"...sun's travel to the North.
    The days will get longer.

    Just busy cooking. Today is 1/2 day work for me. Then whole of next week I am on leave.

    Yesterday:
    • I cleaned my handbag.
      • Dumped everything on the table.
      • removed all the squished receipts
      • put them through the shredder.
      • Rearranged the contents in the several pouches.
    • Checked 2017 calendar for Hindu festival dates and plugged them in my cell phone, desktop, and work computer calendars.
    • Wrote down some resolutions :) ... I do this every year; somehow it makes me happy though I know this is what they are:

    Have a happy day.
