A Little Disappointment Offset By A Lot of Good

written by Parita 25 Comments

My trip to London has been cancelled.  Honestly, I wasn’t too disappointed when I found out because I had a hunch this would happen.  Oh well!  I’m sure another trip will come up sooner than later.  And anyway, now I’ll be around for Vishnu’s post exam week, which means a little more time with my man! 

That’s it for the bad news.  Everything else I want to talk about is good.

First, I got an MRI done on my knee earlier in the week.  The results came in yesterday afternoon, annnnd they are pretty positive!  The doctor said that I don’t have any torn ligaments or tears (no surgery!).  My knee is suffering from wear and tear.  He recommends I stretch more, incorporate yoga into my routine, and build up my quad muscles.  I’ve also decided that in addition to all of that I need to buy new running shoes.  I’m long (like two years long) overdue.  I can’t wait to bring regular running back into my life slowly.  More on all of this later.

My next piece of good news is that Vishnu and I have finally settled on a honeymoon/first anniversary trip destination.  In June, we will be headed to…Turks and Caicos!  I’m so excited!  Our original plan was to travel around Europe for two weeks, but we decided to go down a completely different path when we realized how much what we wanted to do would cost us.  We’ve done a lot of research on T&C and will be booking everything soon.  I can’t wait to experience this…

Another seemingly small good thing that happened to us the other day was a place called Casa Frida Mexican Grill.  We finally found authentic Mexican food in Fort Lauderdale!  Y’all, the food was delicious. But the best part was definitely the cucumber lime water.  It was so refreshing and different.  I’ll do a full review of this place in the next week or so because authentic Mexican restaurants deserve a post of their own.

Well, that’s all I got.  Even though my trip to London was cancelled, I think I’m still better off with my knee being ok, a tropical vacation in the near future, and an authentic Mexican restaurant in my hood. 

Oh and I get to spend this weekend with my parents in Orlando.  My dad really wants to go here.  Not going to lie…I’m excited!

Have a great weekend!
