826 am when I was up this morning. It was right around seven and I think I went to bed around 12:30 or one in the morning which means I had about six hours of sleep. Last night after turning off the light I took some time to cool myself down with the various pieces of cloth I have which I put on the ice container and then put it on my forehead, on my neck, on my torso, and as the piece of cloth gets warmer, I put it down more towards my legs--their movement from top to bottom.  Last night, I used all of the ice so this morning there was no water left in the container to water the plants. After getting up this morning, I stayed in bed thinking and planning because I wanted to leave the room after the newspaper guy had delivered papers. After checking WhatsApp and Facebook on my iPhone XS I filled the container with water and put it in the freezer, then opened the entrance door, took the compost bucket in the kitchen. I first tasted the Langara mango and it tasted fine; I put it down and tasted a Desehri--it tasted better so I went back to Langara, finished it up and then had the Desehri to have a better taste in my mouth at the end.  I had the temptation to have more than two mangoes, but since my stomach was upset till about the end of the first half yesterday I wanted to be a little bit careful consuming fruit. So far things are going well and I think I can have a shake of watermelon and add a few more fruits to the shake. Maybe even eat the fruit bowI got in the last flight.

 

130 pm I am on my bed in my uw trying to cool myself down with various pieces of fabrics that I put in the ice container. The ice container I took out this morning is now almost gone; in a little bit I am planning to go out, have something to eat and then get another another ice container and that should last me for the next 3 to 4 hours. 

I learned from the the FND WhatsApp group that Jamal the plumbing guy has died and his last ritual will be held today--I wanted to go. It was hardly 20 km from here but a little complication since the attendant has called sick today. I consulted with father and he said he needed my help to go to the toilet.  I could not go.

A Lahore Careem driver charged for a ride that I did no take; he left without picking me up.  I complained to Careem. I was notified today that credit has been provided to me in the wallet at the Careem app; I can use it for my next ride.
