LOCKDOWN EXTENDED

SO LOCKDOWN is extended to  end April for now.   As it is in most countries . I think it will go further. But it's for our own safety.  

Thus far the ffg has happened,.,.

I'm deep cleaning the house once a week as my helper cannot come to work. And itS HELL.  I got locked in my bathroom. The key broke in the lock. Luckily there was a spare key. I made bran muffins... mutton curry and rice.. I had a hayfever attack...we had a family zoom chat which ws excellent.  I wanted to cry as I miss my kids a lot. I listened to motivational talks on youtube. Doing meditations to stay calm... made parsadh for Hanuman Jayanti but got depressed when I couldn't send for my kids. Gulab jamuns came out rock hard.  Tired playing my harmonium not much success. Did a karaoke recoding of the Hanuman chalisa.. ordered groceries online.  Takes forever to come.  Might need to make a trip to the supermarket but am dreading it . Too risky. 
Easter weekend came. Baked easter nest cupcakes and a  marble loaf. Had a small braai on sunday. Needed a sense of normality in all this chaos. But missed my other kids tremendously.  Doing meditations to heal the planet. Not sure if it will help but it's better than doing nothing. 

Stopped watching the news and online videos on corona . It's very scary and depressing.  Trying to be positive and as normal as possible.  Not panic.  

If you need to chat to me my email is shakilla.singh@gmail.com.  drop me a line.

Thanks for reading.  I wish you safety and calmness.  Please stay indoors. Stay safe. 

Peace and love
