Story of Broken Bones and A Housewife Who Is Not.

Thanks to our maid, I am a full-time maid now. The last time I worked like one was, when I stayed alone for 6 yrs. I am so used to this work now that the first thing that comes to my mind when I get up is,"Hmm... I think I will wash the utensils first and then go ahead with the cleaning." I am using my lunch breaks to finish up the work at home and it is so funny. :)

Saturday, gave me the taste of being a full-time Indian Housewife. Mom and Dad along with my bhai-log left for their 4 days long visit to a relative's wedding and due to my work commitments, I stayed back along with Chaa and my two pets.

When these guys finally started with their journey, they left behind a huge junk of stuff to be taken care of. I spent most of the morning fixing things for them, getting Mom's favourite jewellery and fragrance for her, ON and OFF fighting with my brother over his choice of clothes and other chai-paani stuff.

Once they left, I chalked out a plan to start brooming and cleaning the house. It is a superstition in India that we should not broom the house as soon as someone leaves it...it is a bad omen to do that. So I waited patiently for 2 hrs to pass before I could start the work. Meanwhile, Honey called me from his city and asked me to download his syllabus and type the schedule for the exam from the internet. I spent 2 hrs helping him with all this stuff and then proceeded with the house-work. By the time I finished it up, it was 5 pm and daah! Rustam ran over the swept floor...I had to re-do it.Chaa came at around 7 and before I could wash the utensils, he asked me if he could do that. He is a gem. :) He did the utensils and I cleaned the kitchen.

I went for a hot shower later...There is nothing like a HOT SHOWER in the world...Trust me!! No matter how stressed or tired you are... It is the best therapy.

After a shower and head-wash I cooked us dinner and fed the pets too. It was 9:30 when I finally came back to my room. I tried sleeping but could only manage by 12:30 am. I had already decided that Sunday, I would sleep late and exercise later but...but... At 6 am, the sound of the doorbell woke me up... :( I saw Chaa went out to walk the pets and he locked the door from inside. We have two entrances to the house and one was locked so I had to open the other door which in itself is a big task...coz there are multiple locks there...Ah! the guy who comes to wash our cars turned up so early, even on a Sunday :( I unlocked the other door from outside too...handed over the keys to him and heated some water for myself.

I waited for Chaa to be back and gulped down hot water...As soon as Chaa came, I went to answer the other door and Shit!! I slipped zooooooooop...zaaaaaap... badly... and my ankles hit the door.... :)

Damn! Rustam peed inside the house...yucks! I was all drenched in it and my knee is badly hurt.... :( Washed myself...applied antiseptic... and now am lying on the bed...typing this story... :) Need to cater to the household chores and breakfast...ah! but it is too cold here and it hurts more in the cold....

Day before Mom slipped in the house and now ME!! Seems, we are having a Slippers' Party in the house...lolzz...

My exercise is on hold for now... I may do it in the evening... for now...itz Go Slow time :)
