FALLING BEHIND

SO, AS TIME PASSES, I REALIZE THAT I AM GETTING WORSE AND WORSE ABOUT BLOGGING EACH DAY. IT HAS BEEN HARD WITH WORK KEEPING ME BUSY UNTIL ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT (DURING THE WEEK) AND THEN GETTING OUT TO SEE THINGS ON THE WEEKENDS. I REALLY ENJOYED THE DELHI TOUR WE TOOK THIS WEEKEND, AND THAT IS WHAT MY NEXT POST WILL BE ABOUT -- COMPLETE WITH OVER 100 PICTURES! GO AHEAD, GET EXCITED NOW -- YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!

I AM SAD TO REPORT THAT "TINY" IS MISSING IN ACTION. :( WHO KNEW THAT JUST NAMING A LIZARD AND THINKING OF HIM AS A PET (A LIZARD THAT YOU ORIGINALLY DIDN'T EVEN WANT IN YOUR ROOM) WOULD MAKE HIM INTO SOMETHING YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT?!


I HOPE HE COMES BACK SOON - THE ROOM JUST ISN'T THE SAME WITHOUT A COMPANION! OH, I HOPE I DIDN'T SCARE HIM OFF - THE OTHER DAY HE WAS LOOKING A BIT DRY AND I WONDERED IF HE WASN'T ABLE TO FIND HIS WAY BACK OUTSIDE AND MIGHT NEED SOME WATER (AFTER ALL, HE IS SOOO LITTLE -- HE IS PROBABLY A BABY!). I PONDERED DRIPPING SOME DROPS ONTO HIM, OR PUTTING OUT A BUCKET OF WATER ON THE FLOOR NEAR HIM, BUT WHEN I GOT EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO HIM - THE LITTLE BUGGER TOOK OFF LIKE HE'D BEEN HIT WITH A CATTLE-PROD! PERHAPS OUR FRIENDSHIP IS MORE ONE-SIDED THAN I WOULD CARE TO BELIEVE! (AND MAYBE NOW HE'S RUN AWAY.)

I DECIDED TO INCLUDE A PIC. TO SHOW YOU HOW I START MY MORNINGS:

NOT BAD, HUH?! KULDEEP IS REALLY GOOD ABOUT FIXING ME ANYTHING I NEED, AND ONCE I LEARNED TO ASK FOR EGGS (AFTER A WEEK AND A HALF OF JUST TOAST AND JAM FOR BREAKFAST) MY BREAKFASTS HAVE BEEN VERY FILLING. TOO BAD THAT DOESN'T REALLY EXPAND HANK'S BREAKFAST SELECTIONS WHEN HE COMES BACK, AS HE DOESN'T EAT EGGS!

SO, TODAY I AM NOT FEELING SO WELL. NO, IT ISN'T DELHI-BELLY -- IT IS PLAIN 'OLE AMERICAN STUPIDITY. I DECIDED TO STAY IN TODAY AND GET SOME CHORES DONE - WASH A LOAD OF CLOTHES, FINISH UP MY ARTICLE FOR WORK, ETC. AFTER SLEEPING THROUGH BREAKFAST I DECIDED TO ORDER A PIZZA FOR LUNCH. AFTER HAVING THAT PIZZA FOR LUNCH, AFTERNOON SNACK, AND DINNER - THE ENTIRE LARGE PIZZA WAS GONE! A LARGE PIZZA WITH JALAPENOS, I MIGHT ADD! SMOOTH MOVE, APRIL! THE 'OLE BELLY HAS BEEN FEELING LESS THAN SUPERB FROM THE PEPPERS, BUT I AM HOPING THAT THIS FEELING WILL PASS BY TOMORROW! (NOTHING LIKE GOING TO THE OFFICE WITH A SICK BELLY!)

WELL, THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO REPORT FOR NOW. I WILL TRY TO GET THE PICTURES FROM MY TOUR UP TOMORROW SO YOU CAN ALL SEE THE SIGHTS OF INDIA!
