Tea, Toilet Paper and Trains: Updating my Witnesses On The Road

avatar

How ridiculous it seems that I'm on a train in India drinking the green tea with tulsi I prepared very early this morning and enjoying digestives courtesy on Indian Railways whilst I vote for witnesses as the reception fades in and out. A little boy takes aim with a plastic rifle and the guy across from us is laughing at my British husband enthuses about the service and the sights. We are chatting about whether its safe to head to Kashmir or whether Leh might be the limit.

The paper informs us of an outbreak of coronavirus in Delhi, and back in Australia, they are panic buying toilet paper. My son assures me via text that socks will do a similiar job. I send him a recipe for aloo paratha (I have become addicted) as he is making dahl tonight as he is so jealous of my food reports.

All the while I am updated by @artemislives who has done a stellar job of commentary and helping people vote for witnesses. I was going to set @naturalmedicine as proxy.. if this is easier and less complicated for you, DO - but I had less trouble logging onto Steempeak and it felt better personally using my last 7 votes I had not yet filled. I will send the keys to my alt to someone later to make sure that is all witnessed up too.

Although I am enjoying my distance from the storm and maintaining my steem break (burn out is REAL), it feels good to do my bit. And damn, do I have the warm and fuzzies.. look at you guys GO. I am sure I'll be completely offline for times as we head to the Himalaya foothills, but rest assured that Ganesh in my pocket is sending protective vibes to you all.

It is FAR to difficult en route to write a better post, so for now, love is all I got. I hope this post finds you as happy and relaxed as I am. Don't panic. Everything is gonna be just fine.

I am.. it is just magical. There are very few moments of down time, but once in a while I have a second or two to catch up on one or two Steem things. I am afraid my engagement is at all time low lol!

So your son thinks socks will make do to wipe butts ;>)

Nice to receive your message. It's kind of crazy out here and I need to keep reminding myself that I'm on holiday too.

Much love,

Vincent

P.S. It sure sounds like you're in India

I felt stressed getting involved.. but apart from these time where I do a bit of steeming on a train or in taxi, I am enjoying my distance!

Lovely to see you enjoying just the very beginning of your travels! Yes, things are a bit crazy at the moment, but life has this funny way of continuing to move on regardless. I'm very much looking forward to having the leisure this afternoon to join in with our dear @bewithbreath for some grounding meditation in just a short while.

Oh, and they are running out of TP, Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer and bottled water in stores here, as well. Not resorting to socks myself as yet. ;) And definitely not trading in my Hydroflask bottle for a bunch of plastic!!

It's all rather silly. It is just a cold in the end, we will be fine. Besides, we do have water. Buy soap instead! Lol.

Most definitely true. It's been knocking on my door but I've managed to beat it back with coffee 😎🙂🤪

Enjoy India, those pics look great... Life on the road is so exciting. Big hugs, and we'll all still be kicking ass with steem witness shenanigans when you return from your journeys Riverflows

Namaste 🙂

P.s. I received your message through Artemis on discord. Thanks, it means a lot that some people on steem appreciate my uncompromising style of trying to say the things that need saying x

Greetings @riverflows! It's a very warm and fun post,
I love that walk in Delhi, but I must say you have
very careful not to get the coronavirus,
it's really not a game thing!
Well, have fun!
Hugs...
