Work takes me to Texas every month. It’s getting more difficult lately because of the late stage of pregnancy of TH. Her third trimester is challenging and already incurred 3-day hospital stay. I am going out and every moment I am thinking about her and NM. How she is going to manage her health without getting overworked with Nehaan’s meals, tantrums and school drop off and pickup? It’s a constant state of worry. I am taking this with moment by moment spell, just like test cricket session. In a cricket test match, the players plays for five days and each day they have three sessions. The players, specially batsmen, are trained to play it session-by-session. It helps to compartmentalize goals in short period of time and focus on getting things done in short period of time. I am trying to implement this while I will be gone and will be at Texas. I am taking it as a 4hr interval and hopefully we will be okay for next 18 sessions at home (6 sessions per day* 3 days= 18 sessions).

Life.
