The Curious Case of the Missing Slipper
Day 21 of 30 · Wednesday· A Day in My Life
Background:
This story is part of my 30-Day Medium Challenge, where I’ve committed to posting one journal-style entry every day from May 1 to May 30, 2025. These journal entries are my way of tracking each day with intention, reflection, and gratitude.
[May 21, 2025]
Note: Posting this on May 22 because my mom fell ill and I ran behind schedule.
🌅 Morning
Another hospital morning — Dad took Mom for her fourth physiotherapy visit. The doctor now wants her to come for ten more days. So around 15 sessions in total. I really hope she’s fully healed by then.
She’s already feeling so much better, though — that’s such a relief. 💛
I woke up earlier than usual today — around 10 AM — to fix my schedule and kicked off the day by ordering sambar idli, a delicious South Indian dish (steamed rice cakes with spicy lentil soup).
It had been ages since I had that for breakfast, and I loved every bite.
🌞 Afternoon
After some office work, sleep was calling me again — I’m trying to fix my sleep cycle, and part of that includes sneaking in a power nap.
