Post wedding bliss

So... here we are. Married. Of course its been a really busy few days so havn't had a chance to get online. Plus my sister in law just broke her foot yesterday so i have been helping her out so she can rest. I had a cold the couple days after the wedding and was in bed mostly resting. So ya, its been kinda nuts. Funny that.... well sad kinda, that after being to india so many times and living here for several months, it doesn't seem like there is anything to write about anymore, cause i've said it all before. everything just appears normal to me now, not noteworthy in my mind. Its raining today. That's different. I just spent 6 hours doing cooking and dishes at the house and i've stepped out to take a break. The rain is nice. I am sitting at Divine hotel restaurant which has wi fi and overlooks the river. Its kinda cool and relaxing here. i'm the only one here. sipping a coffee. i think it was nescafe. boooo. its so bad i think i have to send it back and order a pot of masala chai for my sanity. blechhht!! Today i was reminded how hard indian women work. Even if they don't have a garden and livestock to care for. I mean... of course it takes ritu a fraction of the time to perform the tasks that take me hours, like making roti or dahl, or packing someone a lunch or washing a few dishes. but still.... it is a heck of a lot of work every day and i am glad that i have already discovered that i am not tough enough nor stalwart enough for the job. Although I AM loyal, reliable, and hardworking, just not THAT hardworking :) I admire the women here for the job they do. So the wedding was a grande success. Everyone including the bride and groom had a funtastic time and i really couldn't have dreamed up a more perfect ceremony and celebration for myself. i will post some pictures.
