Better late than never!!

Hello!!!!

I know, I've been irregular. In my defense a lot has been going on here! For one thing a couple of days after I spoke to my mother, she landed in my city with my Dad! Met them, clarified a few things and am now in possession of a lighter heart. Isn't that the best feeling? Patched up with lil sis as well. Plus my Mom in law managed to charm me into being my former self with her by talking about some of the things we have in common. So things are good on the family front. Sister in law messaged me asking for some help and I complied , not because I give a damn but because I never refuse help if possible, it is a principle I have followed since high school and still do. Sure sometimes I get taken advantage of but that's alright because for one thing, their karma is on them and another I have finally figured out where to draw the line.

Now I have not been able to run for almost 3 weeks. Mainly because I was laid up with the flu, and when I was better Hubby was sick. So mothering the poor boy and now he is better.

Best part? We are going on vacation! To Leh in the state of Jammu & Kashmir, India. Hubby and I have been planning this trip for over a decade. Granted we had originally planned to make it a fun road trip but the route lies through Kashmir, where clashes are ongoing so no go. We're flying to and fro and going for a period of 10 days. Vincent, my over friendly GSD with be going to a boarding house where his former friends live and so should be quite comfy. Although we keep looking at him and feeling guilty and sorry for ourselves 'cos we will miss him. He is our shadow. He has gained enough weight so I can't see or feel his ribs jutting out anymore and that makes me please as punch.

Still haven't told our families about him. However my parents maybe coming to visit soon and they will know then. My hubby hilariously predicted the reactions of both sets of Moms pretty accurately I think. I just don't care.

The other day He and I were slow dancing to "Fools rush in" in our PJs and we dipped towards Vincent twice and he got all excited and put each of his fore paws on our wrists and danced with us. It was the most beautiful feeling in the world. We repeated the same performance later that day.

Happy birthday to The King of horror!! (my BFF told me about that and is sending me IT!! I wanted it for my next bday but man that chick is prompt. Gotta love her and thank the Lord for giving me such a pal.)

My mom even noticed that I'd lost weight!! And I have, 14kgs to be precise, nearly 20kgs to be almost exact. I started checking  only about 6 weeks back so that's pretty good progress! Hubby was so pleased he had moist eyes. Gotta love the man.
