I went to Total supermarket today. It is like Disneyland, there. After not having been there in over a week, it was great to see all the stuff they have lying around. They have everything; cooking utensils, trash cans, food, vegetables, healthy food, unhealthy food. They have cell phones.
On my way out, I had a light bulb moment. There was a huge advertisement by the checkout aisle, and it showed that you could get gift cards. I asked about it and got one for Rs. 500. This is a great tool, because I can afford to carry it instead of carrying my much more valuable credit card. If I lose it, it's not as big of a deal. It's also rechargeable. I love it. Since I still don't have a bank account, this is great. But even if I did have a bank account, I'd still love it. I wish the supermarkets had them in the United States. Maybe they do but I never bothered to ask?
I also forgot how busy Airport road is. Bangalore is a much busier place than I remember. I've spent so much time on 100 feet road and that's a lot quieter and Airport road.
I purchased more cleaning supplies - cleaning gloves, scrotchbrite scrubby thingies, steel scrubby thingies, a new tupperware to replace one that I ruined this morning, and other stuff. I got food, too. I finally got my first almonds - about six dollars. I got whole wheat pasta, too. The sugar to carb ratio on the whole wheat pasta is incredible.
Today I had Moong Dal, Pasta, and an orange. This will become a regular meal soon.
My workout in the gym this morning went well. I worked on legs; I had worked on my chest yesterday and I didn't want to work on my arms the day after, thinking that my arms would be tired by relation with my chest.
My energy level was high in the morning, and it stayed that way for hours after the workout.
Our maid returned today. She had been missing for a few days. She said her mom had an accident and got sick, or something. I don't know exactly what happened - Ankit gave me the gist of it.
Even though she wasn't here, we had done a good job cleaning things up. The roach count remains down; I only see several throughout the day now. I used to see over a couple dozen.
The beautiful sun is out among blue skies. So far, the weather has remained between 70 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When it rains, it clears the skies and calms down the city, like a reduced effect of how snow can silence a town.
