A Day in Life


Her alarm buzzed at 6.30am, 6.45 & 7am only to be turned off and pull the blankets to cover her face, even without blinking the eyes. She know there’s going to be more to jerk her out of bed and promptly that rang at 7.30am.
Even without properly opening her eyes she took her phone, changed to silent mode (the notification sound irritates her in the morning) and connected to WIFI to scan through the messages. As usual the WriteTribe group is fully active with more than 100 messages, she thinks while keeping her phone aside.
After turning, tossing and stretching she takes herself out of the bed to the washroom after the morning prayers, grabbing the book on her bed stand.
Once out of washroom with a “Chechi Kaapi” scream she slammed her room shut and within 20 minutes she’s out of her home with another scream, “Amma Bye. Breakfast venda.”

Once at work, her time flies with the daily to-do list and works. But once in a while she feels that a 9-5 job was much easier to heart and brains than the own ventures as there’s no pressure except for deadlines.
But the freedom one enjoys, and the excitement and adrenaline rush to do something new and the happiness when good things happen is immense. At that moment for her every ounce of pressure feels really small.

By afternoon one thing she feels grateful for is a home and mom, where a warm lunch will be waiting for her everyday even at 4pm. 
The break time is usually hooked up with blogging, reading or TV time.
After break, work resumes by 6pm which can extend till 10-11pm depending upon the scenario. 

Once back home and done with the day, after a quick dinner, either she slobs onto her favorite corner of the couch with a movie running or she retires to bed with a book until every drop of energy is oozed out. Her daily life is a routine. Sometimes it freaks her out fearing its monotonous, making her forget that it's OK to meltdown. But most of the days, there's something good in a routine to look forward. 

And that's Sleep

Today ...


 
Hearing a happy Good morning even before I open my eyes...
Seeing a happy Brat (lil bro and henceforth) in the morning…
Having enough and more time to dress up and rush through the door…

Hearing my favorite songs when driving…

Getting a 45 minutes “sister-brother” only time, even thou half of the time we are stuck in traffic…

Hearing brat talking non-stop and with lots of emotions and animations and happiness…

Friend calling to say goodnight before he hits the bed, after his night shift…
Mom calling at the middle of the office time just to chit chat...

Someone calling randomly just coz they didn’t hear from me recently...

A good read, be it a blog post, quote, comment, book…
Brat calling up to remind me to buy his junk foods, and blabber about the grades he got today...

Seeing 6pm on my laptop screen…

Thinking, it’s gonna be Eid holz soon…

Driving, evening traffic, alone...

Getting missed calls across the ocean to show they are remembering me...
Taking Brat to Patisserie Suisse as he wanted to taste the pastry from there (he thinks they have the best ones…)
Off to snuggle in my bed way too early than my usual time…
