The weather was cold and windy. BUT we didn't have the storm that was predicted. Yay. Our guardian angel was looking after us. But still, it was the first true winter day. I drove to Dr K's in wind that rocked the car.
He found that my back was stiff. The adjustment hurt, usually it doesn't. Still I felt better when it was over.
I spoke to Judy. (She's the friend that introduced me to Bapuji) She said that the couple who always brought our gifts to India --right to Bapuji's home--was not allowed to come this year. Most people have been denied. I got concerned. Judy referenced Baba's poor health. He's coughing. I'm concerned and will pray.
On the way home from Dr K, I laid out the chores that I wanted to get done. I got gas. It was so cold. I wished that I had worn a hat. Then I picked up the chicken--Boston Chicken. (I remembered to bring the coupon) Then I called Kay and found that if I did the banking I wouldn't be needed at work. So I stopped at the shoe store. I ordered my Think shoes. While I was there, I picked up a great pair of boots that will cover my shoes and then flatten out and fit easily into a tote--when I'm out for the evening. I've been looking for something this easy and it's not too ugly. Certain angles are actually cute.
I ordered a pair of cute dressy shoes. Hopefully they will fit.
I went home for a light lunch and then went to pick up the bank from NM. After bank, I went to AAA where they were having a sale on Visa gift cards. I saved $9.00 (if I got them at the credit union, and $15 anywhere else) They come with caveats but so what. These folks will spend their $$$ right away. Now all I have to do is register the cards which I can do with one call tomorrow.
I had to be very, very careful not to fall. Very careful. Coming out of the shoe store my cane slipped twice. Not good.
So when I went to pick up Luke's prescription from CVS, I parked at the curb. I walked slowly and carefully. I got the prescription and some Chirstmas wrapping things, cards and etc.
I got home and crashed. So tired.
I knew in my heart that I had to call Nayna--today. I had to work up the courage. I knew I wouldn't ask to go to India. I'm just getting over HiNi and Bapuji would never allow it. So I was calling to find out if someone could bring our community Christmas gift to Bapuji. When we get together to make Bapuji's gift, I feel connected to Him. I picture him looking at my part of the gift and then thinking of me. You know how it is.
Nayna told me that the people who were allowed to go to India have already gone, and that Bapuji wouldn't want us to send things in the mail. I started to cry. Nayna felt bad and I had to keep telling her . . . that I just miss Bapuji and what I didn't say was I afraid that I won't see him again. Then, Nayna said what I couldn't believe . . . She said . . . You can give Bapuji your gift when he comes next year and I stopped crying. She also said that tomorrow when she talks to Bapuji she'll give Him my love. AND she said that I could e-mail to Him.
When Luke came in, I was very tired. And I was glad that I didn't have to cook--Thanks Boston Chicken.
