brief hiatus there

sorry,
brief hiatus there as i relocated.
still finding my feet again in rishikesh.
mom flew home on the 27th. now its just me. miss her.
it is a beautiful time of year in rishikesh, because its winter and its very quiet. so you have the whole place to yourself, no crowds.
it was a relief to be back. but it also feels strange, somehow. can't explain it.
it is so peaceful here, by comparison to goa. which is nice.

i had a little flood in my room this morning. i emptied a big bucket of water on the floor in the bathroom (its the asian kind where the bathroom floor has a drain and the whole bathroom becomes a shower) but i forgot that the door doesn't seal and so the bucket that i poured ran out under the door and out into the rest of my room. haha.
so i had a little impromptu mopping up. floors are all nice and clean now.

so little to report.
it is cold. i am piled under blankets at night with no central heating of course.
sun doesn't come up over the hill here until 9am, just like last time.
but all is well. it is good to get back to good food and good water again, both of which were kind of lacking in goa.
looking forward to getting back into yoga class too, starting tomorrow.

the trip here was alright. we flew to delhi and spent the night and watched movies in our hotel room, then the next day i hopped on the train and mom headed to the airport. the train ride was only 4 hours but felt longer. really cramped in there. train was full.

alright well,
hope everyone is well and happy at home.
much love to all,
miss you
