My only meal of the day, which I had around 1:45 pm, included two boiled eggs, some vegetable salan, and a little of the liver and gizzard salan, with roti.  I wanted to have the halwa but there was very little left so I left it for father, and instead had a small slice of roti with butter and honey.

Day before yesterday I spent a lot of time getting an Internet package for Parisee and for that I had to transfer funds from my JazzCash account to her Zong account.  She was able to get the data package using a code; this package allows for a monthly data usage of 40 GB with 20 GB to be used between 1 am and 9 am. ll this effort required active involvement and really took away my attention from other things that I had to do.  And then yesterday a lot of time was lost in ordering fruits for Lahore using the grocer app online online service; it kept denying my credit card payments.  After trying for 4 for five times, I decided to use Metro instead but that required moving the map to new address in Lahore.  It was was quite something to move the arrow all over Pakistan but I was finally able to do it and I was surprised to see that I had a credit of Rs. 4035.

Yesterday evening, I was able to do a full session of yoga in my room and then had the shakes and was able to retire to my bed around 11 pm; sleep followed shortly.

Around 920 pm the young woman started her exam.  She had been unusually nervous about it. She took the test in the TV room and used the house internet connection.  By 947 pm she had completed answering all 30 questions.
