The New Year

First four days are down. And already a lot has happened.

The new year's eve was spent at a friend/acquaintance's place. Somebody who stays in the building. Didn't want to drive. The company was ok except for Jack who was great. Tired and fatigued with three stiff ones down, I was almost asleep. The good part was that a couple of guys were playing the guitar and the first song of the year was a raucously sung Wish you were here.

On the stagger back home I twisted my ankle. The first was spent in painful sleep but thankfully the x-ray ruled out a fracture. The evening was spent in a condolence meeting of my friend's father who has recently died.

The second was spent in more pain and added to it was diarrhea. My car that had got badly rammed was taken away to the garage and is still not back. It won't be for at least a week more. Good. Can't drive comfortably anyway. The day was also spent in gloom after a fight with Dad. And an errant message in the evening brought forebodings of further complications too.

The third was better. Started the guitar classes. The teacher was quite impressed considering it was my first class ever. Came home. Practiced more. Ankle slightly better. Stomach slightly better.

The fourth was the first working day of the year. Still feeling unwell, had to go for Amun's school admission interview. That came through and he's gotten into the school of our choice. Reached office only after 12 dressed in a t-shirt that said 'Everlast'. Got some goodies. Exchanged some mails. Reached some plateaus. And went back home by 2.

Resolution: focus only on work.
