So the USA elections are coming up and I've been disappointed before. I'm disappointed now because of what the Republicans considers as their best option. Oh, I don't vote Republican. I may have in the very early days because financially, I believe that a change of political parties can be a good thing. Other policy-wise stuff on fundamental basic rights, eh, not so nice to have a guy in the top seat who hates immigrants and who is basically a horrible person.
Anyway, I voted. I am hoping that the result will be good and what I mean by that is that I won't have to worry about my family and friends back home. I may not have extremely strong ties to the USA anymore, but I still know people there. I want them to be able to progress through life and not have it be a struggle from day to day. That's all I'd really want.
I don't want to say much about that. I don't want to know how people are voting; I don't want to see people back home trying to convince me (or anyone else) that their candidate is better than the other. So, I'm not going to social media much over the next week.
Have a good week ahead! :)

Ah, Sunday morning is here. What a wonderful day to be able to sleep in, right? I have been waking up at around 5 or 6 am for the past few weeks. A window in the bedroom doesn't have a proper curtain in it, so it doesn't block any light. When the sun starts to rise, I wake up. This isn't that great for someone who usually works nights.
I had all these grand plans to make blueberry pancakes this morning and ended up not doing it. I, honestly, opened a bucket of M&Ms and at a few of those. It's not really the breakfast of champions and probably not a breakfast that I would suggest to others.
My partner's heading to India this week so I need to try to get him ready to go. He'll be gone for a few weeks so I'll be by myself. I guess that's okay... I miss living by myself sometimes. My mother-in-law isn't doing very well at the moment so he's headed back to spend some time with her. I would do the same thing if I was him. I want him to be able to spend good quality time with her and not have to worry about me as well.
I'm also back to work this week. I've been off for a month, but need to get back to earning some money. :) We kinda need that sort of thing.
Anyway, I hope everyone's doing well... taking care of yourselves. I will be back later, eh?

Hello everyone!
First and foremost, I hope everyone out there is doing well. If you aren’t, well, I hope things get better for you. Really, I do.
So it looks like that I am done with my study for the rest of the year which is great. That takes so much stress and pressure off my back. I’ve been struggling keeping things orderly lately, especially after moving from my little apartment to a house. There is still more organisation to do before I’m happy with that. It seems like once I get things organised someone comes back and moves things around or makes plans without notifying me.
I guess right now it’s just about getting back to work so I can work hard so I can go back to my home country (the USA) for Easter next year and finally bring my mother back to Australia. I’m really excited about that, honestly. She hasn’t been here and I’ve wanted her to come here forever. I wanted to bring her over here once I had more space and now I have it, so yes, it is the time!
I think, right now, it’s just time for me to take a step back and take a really deep breath of relief. I can’t do that too much at this time of the year… the flowers are blooming and the air is polluted with pollen—not fun.
I really want to make a plan to get in better health. Getting myself back to the gym will be difficult, but it’s necessary. I’m only getting older.
So, until we meet again, I wish you well! :)

It's nothing incredible, but I made a new theme for the Vivaldi browser. It's a light theme so probably not something you'd like to use if you don't want to fry your eyes at night.
Kerala (Light) is a reimagining of my original Kerala theme. Probably not the greatest photo for the background, but hey, it can be updated. :)
See everybody a bit later!

Hello everyone! So Drupal didn't work out... actually, I might have accidentally added a few stray characters in some code and didn't know where to begin to fix it up so here I am using Joomla. Please be patient with me because this is new. Things would look obscenely generic for a while, but I plan to add most of my site content back to it.
Patience, grasshopper.
