Tailpiece.

Got up at 2, recited my prayers and turned off to sleep yet again.

Got up at 6, the chores and through pouring rain went to the DDRC lab at Sasthamangalam to get Maman's FBS. It has come down to 73 after what seemed to be a long while. Also got the insulin injected in.

A nostalgic trip down memory lane at my alma mater, the Holy Angel's Convent.

Rushed to see Ammayi, along with Lekha. after she fell in the bathroom. Nothing to worry, says the doctor.

Exasperated with Maman who neither has food nor medicines.
