AC broke

The AC broke for us recently. Two technicians came to the house to fix the issue. The lady among them started talking to me. I gave them water bottles and banana chips as I was hungry during lunchtime. I didn't want them to feel left out so offered them chips and water. They had not asked for it but it's only human for me to offer.

The lady offered to pet sit Loki if I ever need to. She mentioned she was but by a fox once near her house. She also mentioned there are snakes near her house. Although the pet sitting might be dead cheap , I decided I'll never put for boarding at her house. We can run when a fox or snake comes to bite us but poor Loki. I will have nightmares about him getting bitten by a fox or snake. The Lady also noticed Mother Mary and Jesus pictures in the house and said you are good people. She said she knows Shiva. I didn't extend my conversation with her further as I know what kind of perceptions she had.

End of the story. I do not want a boarding at their house just for the sake of saving some moolas. I am still thinking about my neighbors offer to look after Loki once. The nice thing in that offer is he will be safe and closer to the house. He is a fighter and I think he will survive the cat fight that might be in his boarding as the neighbor has a cat.

Orlando - the beautiful city


The first trip to Orlando was weird for me as we moved here from Tustin, CA. This place felt more like a place still under construction. There were orange cones in semoran all the way from MCO Orlando international airport to our hotel in Orlando.

We moved to our first apartment in Altamonte Springs. My daughter was born at Arnold Palmer hospital in Winter Park and we proudly brought her back to our Apartment.

We then moved to another apartment near South Semoran as work called for the change. We were lucky to buy our first home the following year in Lake Nona. We just moved from houses in lake Nona based on which grade she was in. 

She has been a Lake Nona girl since birth. We fell in love with Orlando after exploring the theme parks and the outdoors around Orlando. Altamonte Springs, Winter Park, Moss Park, Lake Nona, and the biking trails around lake Nona. The boat ride at Winter Park is awesome. We took most of our guests there for enjoying the ride. We can see the backyard of the Super Rich in Orlando by just going in that ride. I promise!

Best food restaurants:- Woodlands vegetarian, Hawkers street, Jinya ramen bar, Royal Thai Restaurent,  are the name of some of our favorite restaurants.
