\"second<\/p>\n

I almost forgot that June is coming to an end, that the second quarter of the year was coming to an end. Oops? Compared to the first quarter of the year, this one seems a little less intense.<\/p>\n

A lot less seems to have happened, in the last three months.<\/p>\n

\"personal<\/p>\n

I mentioned in my last wrap-up that we were going to India for our Sikh New Year, and we did! I’ve only been to India in April once, and that was only for a couple of days when my sister had her engagement party there, so this was very different. The heat was intense, and we were a little worried about mosquitos and illnesses related to that, but we all really enjoyed the prayers, and the visit to the Golden Temple.<\/p>\n

Since then, my daughter has started pre-school. And starting pre-school opens her up to more germs and illnesses, so she’s been sneezing and coughing but her immunity is building up, and as much as she fusses when I drop her off at school, she always seems to have enjoyed her day when I pick her up.<\/p>\n

Because of her pre-school, I have a little bit of free time in the mornings, so I schedule my blog writing, book photo taking for that time! I’ve felt a lot more productive, and I’ve also started going in to a clay class at the mall nearby once a week, which has been therapeutic and fun and creative. I’m also hoping to (finally!) start doing yoga in the mornings as well. Hopefully.<\/p>\n

\"professional<\/p>\n

In bullet-points, because mostly continuing on with things from the last quarter:<\/p>\n
