Series Of Inconveniences .......

 


 

Hello dear friends 

Hope having blessed times by the grace of God!


Sorry for my late posting .I have few natural excuses for that actually. As i have mentioned that i was trying to quit medicine as my course ended but felt sick immediately afterwords. I got upset stomach which was more concerning as we had to travel here in next few days.I thought that my body reacted negatively because i tried to break the routine of taking medicines at once. (couldn't think of something else because i have been taking medicines since my early life but felt absolutely fine whenever quit them). Anyway i bought half pack of meds and started to take half dose this time. Then after a week stop taking them. Although my stomach behaved normal this time but the weakness and flu took over. I broke all my previous records of excessive sneezing and feeling sick. I doubt that i made many passengers sick in the bus we rode to home because of my flu was so obvious  🫩So after three beautiful months in Islamabad, We are back home in our small hot and sweating city. We arrived on Tuesday noon. Loads of works were laying here and there idly and we tried to sweep them off with whatever energy was left thankfully. My flu is still accompanying faithfully despite the medication and i keep wondering if treatment or medicine i took in Islamabad was right decision ? And how long this strange side effect gonna stay with me ?


Let me share with you that our home appliances are too acting weird  since we have returned .Our dawlance fridge is not cool anymore . Right now a workman is trying to fix it . We brought lots of laundry to wash with us as machine back there wasn't automatic ,but dawlance front load washing machine started to make noise when reached close to end of it's cycle. Hubby tried to figure out by taking out it's manual guide book. We learnt that we should have wash the drum once in a month which we did not so noise could the be result of dried detergent and debris of threads. It took both of us more than half hour to identify which function will clean the machine. I selected steam function which chose 2 and half hours cycle of cleaning.Though I couldn't find how to set water temperature :(  Although machine is working fine afterwards and no noise anymore but i think hot water selection could have make more significant difference.Will keep try to find this water temperature function for next time.


Story doesn't end here, our tv is not working as well and so is internet device ,can you believe it 🤣


We have dropped our tv on repair shop before leaving and the workman is in Karachi since then and making promises he couldn't keep sadly . Even though we just want him to return advance money (50000 pkr) and tv and we will buy new one but he is responding with new excuse each next day .Lets hope he realises what is doing. None of this is more bothering than feeling ill constantly so i don't have time to worry about these things except wondering if i can feel better ever 😭


Oh did i tell you that we forgot one our very important piece of luggage in our Islamabad apartment . Yes and 100% because all of us were fluish ,add super fluish when talking about me 😩


Thankfully the apartment manger reacted  with sense of responsibility and  sent the bag through cargo service last night . We paid gratitude and money that process cost to him.

I think this is enough complaining for today dear friends ! Big thanks for staying with me till end . I feel encouraged by your love and support 🙏 Will try to get back to my routine asap including visit to my favourite blogs 😍

Sending heartfelt best wishes ,love and prayers on your way precious friends! God bless you all!

  1. Oh, dear Baili, I really hope you will get well soon and the different health issues will be over.
    I also hope the problems of your household appliances will be solved soon. One of our stoves stopped working yesterday but we don't need to hurry to replace it because in our strange kitchen there are two old stoves. :) Sooner or later they must be replaced, though, with devices that consume less electricity.
    After three months of absence from home, there are surely many things to do. Try to take it easy and to rest enough. 🧡
    Big hugs! 🤗

  4. Well my dear friend I have never heard you complain about much in your life. Being sick all the time puts hardship on everything. I'm so sorry you are going through this illness. Then getting home and nothing works. EEEEKKKK. I would be quite upset and would need to vent. So you go ahead and let it all out. It actually helps. Big hugs, blessings and I'm sending healing energy to you.

  6. It’s probably a reaction to the end of treatment, dear baili.
    We get addicted and then it’s really hard to stop.
    Have a speedy recovery

    1. dear Karen ,lovely to hear from you !
      we were quite shocked with everything giving us tough time after our arrival as we haven't expected such inconvenience ,but as they say there is first time for everything ,we assume that may everything remained shut off for three whole months can be the reason and we will see what we can do about it next time before leaving . television is just like another thing or device for me at this part of the age ,not much enthusiasm like before ,but it make us together most of the time which is nice i believe :) sending love and best wishes to you too dear Karen🙏❤️

  10. I'm so sorry you're ill. I'll look forward to the day you let you know you feel better. So many broken appliances for you, too. I'm frustrated when I have one item that doesn't work properly. I've never had a front loading washing machine, but I've heard a lot of people say they tend to have problems with build up of detergent.

    Love,
    Janie

    1. dear Janie it is pleasure to hear from you! letting you know my kind friend that i am feeling better now by the grace of God! still i will visit doctor in my first free day asap to get rid from feverish feeling that still are with me .
      so true that breakdown of any device can be frustrating ,but honestly as long i am healthy it was never an issue .but since some years my health decline due to aging or any other reason has made me dependent on washing machine specially ,i can survive without other devices though :)
      oh that was surprise to know you never had front load washing machine . honestly i too saw this type of machine when eldest son received it from delivery man and unpacked it before us . though i had assumed that in foreign countries people use only such front load washing machine . we have decided to never use dry detergent again .hubby had brought stock of liquid detergent already

  14. Baili, my friend, you have been dealing with so many issues but most important of these is your health. I was sorry to read that your flu-like symptoms are continuing and hope that rest and being home will help you heal. Of course, finding that so many appliances have chosen this time to “misbehave” was not the best homecoming. I hope any repairs needed will be done soon and shame on that TV repairman for not refunding your money and giving false promises.

  15. dear friend Dorothy !
    it was nice to hear from you, yes it is quite upsetting to have most of devices out of order at once ,particularly when you need them most due to exhaustion of long journey and you are unwell already .but life is full of surprises sometimes .it is our first such intense experience after arriving back home . thankfully it's been six days and my flue is gone eventually ,though feverish feeling stay for which i will go to the doctor day after tomorrow hopefully ,as right now we are too busy with something going on in the house. tv man called while ago and said that he has sent another second hand television for us in city two hours away from us ,he said that we can pick it from there . this was nice news but as i said that right now we are busy and it can wait .

    1. I was hapy tob read that you are feeling better, Baili. It's hard to believe that the TV repairman expects you to drive 2 hours to pick up a second hand set. I would have expected him to deliver one to you for all your inconvenience and waiting.

      Delete
    2. dear Dorothy ! thanks for revisiting my friend! so sweet of you .
      actually hubby realised that the repairman wasn't in mood to pay back our money so he decided to take the pain of travel 4 hours actually of going and coming back. i was worried because of the heat outside .but everything went smooth thanks to God! though tv the man has given us is not in good condition and we doubt it can last long ,let's hope if it can as 50,000 are worth something.
      we know there are good and bad people everywhere and no rules for bad ones sadly

  16. Dear Baili - I think I know how you feel stressed and tired, but relax, Baili. There is a saying that bad things tend to happen one after another. Fortunately the bad things after your ill health is all about home appliances. Machines will be repaired soon. Take the best care of yourself.
