Eugene was already getting bored in Houston and the last weekend helped and revived his spirit with the warm visit from Sabrina. She boosted his down sided mood and took us around doing our last minute shopping at Costco looking for gifts for William and Gloria, helping me pack my bags, which is always such a task and worry for me because of the restrictions on weight. She did it all and having loaded the bags in the car herself, I could not thank God for such a wonderful daughter because the check in was smooth with no hassles and no weight excess. We checked in and Sabrina returned her car back and spent 45 minutes with us at the airport. Since eating too many shrimps and grapes we three had stomach upset and at the airport, she took her father with her and bought him a Mist drink which helped and subsided the stomach pain he had the whole afternoon.
Thanks to Sabrina, Eugene and I were just fine on the flight back. Though the flt hours were close to 15 hours to Doha, both of us took naps and woke up for small snacks. We tried to stay awake so that we get adjusted to the schedule back in Bangalore. Our waiting time at Doha was only one hour and so the entire journey was uneventful and pleasant. The crew were good and the food and snacks palatable and excellent.
To cap it all for the first time in all my travels over the last 30 years, I have never watched so many movies on flight. Knowing fully well that I have to stay awake to stay on the plan that I intended, I watched Ocean Thirteen starring Clooney, Pitt and Damon. then I watched McGyver starring Tom Cruise and Godding and then two Movies one called Kudha Gawha starring Amitabh Bachan - okay movie and last was Rajneeti with some popular younger actors, like Ajay Devgan, Ranbir Kapoor and Rampal. This was a movie depicting the politics in India which is currently happening, but did not have that much of a punch. Anyway, I myself am surprised that I watched four movies.
So reaching the airport our taxi was waiting for us since it was booked earlier and the driver a known person was helpful with the lugging of the bags and loading etc. Our maid Jyoti was awake and waiting for us. We reached home around 5 am on Wednesday and after resting for couple of hours, I got down to starting my days chores. On reaching the house we called Sabrina and for her it was Tuesday and she was at hobby getting ready to board her plane from Houston to Denver.
Wednesday all day I spent on unpacking, putting the tings away and tiding up my closet. It was a mess when I left and I could not wait to see it clean. Ah it looked wonderful when all was done. Then I did all the ironing of the new clothes. Knowing Eugene he will not allow me to rest until all the clothes are ironed and then worn. Now there are only his two shirts and pant to be ironed, which I will do today.
Wednesday night I spent at the computer and was disappointed that all the three disks that I got from Sabrina of the wedding pictures, could not be opened. Also my Galveston disk could not be opened. As suggested by Sabrina I have asked a friend to let me use her laptop and tomorrow Friday morning I will go and see her. If that does not work, then i will go to the studio and see if the pictures can be printed. I wanted to separate the pictures according, to rehearsal, pre-dressing, church, reception, and later events. I know I will do it but it will take me a couple more days to get the pictures sorted, printed and album done. I promised William I would send him some of the pictures of our trip to Austin and Galveston. Wedding pictures albums Sabrina will send him and also to my sister Veronica.
Got very good sleep Wednesday night and today Thursday completely normal. It is 11.30 am here and I am finishing this blog while Jyoti is preparing some nice chicken lunch for us. Our car was parked in the garage. Eugene's brother Edwin had visited the house and started the car to keep the engine going for a while and in his rush of things left the door slightly open. Now he did this on 4th October so for nearly two week, the battery got used up. This morning sent the battery to the garage for charging and will not get it back until Friday morning, which means I have to find a way of getting for my appointment to the dentist this evening at 6 pm. I guess will call my neighbor Karanth to send his driver, hopefully it should work out.
Well now I will more in tomorrow or next week after I sort out my pictures disks.
