Hey guys. So, I had taken nearly a week's worth of break from posting mainly because of the stressful position covid has put India in. This virus has single-handedly changed many families that I personally know. So, please stay safe and wear masks at all times!

Now that I got that out of the way, let me get into my day's activities.

Morning:

Owing to the drastic rise in Covid-19 cases, I have made a few changes to my morning routine. Instead of taking Cooper on a walk outside, I walk him on my terrace itself. This prevents me from having to come close to other people. Additionally, I now drink hot water mixed with squeezed lemon to help boost my immunity.

As usual, Cooper woke me up at 6:30 AM. I woke up, checked on my affable automation tool to make sure that it is running smoothly, had a glass of hot water and lemon juice, and then took Cooper to the terrace for our morning walk. Since the terrace is pretty small, I am not able to cover the same distance as I used to on our usual outside walk.

After about 30 minutes, I took him back down and gave him his breakfast. I then went on to complete my morning chores.

^{Dosa for Breakfast}
At around 8 AM, I had my breakfast. Today my mom had prepared dosa with two different types of chutneys. After my breakfast, I logged into my work and started to complete the tasks assigned to me for this sprint.

AT 11:45 I had my morning standup in which I updated the bugs that I fixed. Currently, I am stuck with finding a replacement for AT Time Zone feature which was added in SQL Server 2016 but our customers are on 2012 and 2014 versions.

^{Vanilla ice cream for snacks}
Right after my standup I had my morning snacks. I had dry fruits and ice cream for morning snacks today.

Noon:

For noon I had rice and sambhar. Today was the last working day for 2 of my teammates so we had a virtual farewell for them on Microsoft Teams. After that, I went on to attend a wellness session that was also arranged by my company.

At around 3 PM, I went on to sleep for some time.

Evening and Night:

By the time I woke up, it was 6 PM. I wasn't very hungry, so I skipped my evening snacks. After working for a bit longer, I logged off and went on to play with Cooper for some time. Today, it was raining heavily here in Bangalore so I played tag with Cooper inside the house itself.

^{Here is Cooper Judging me cause I stopped playing with him}
At 7:30 PM in the evening I started to watch the match between RCB and PKS. These are two of my favorite teams in IPL mainly because one of them is my local team(RCB) and the other is composed mainly of players either from Karnataka or former RCB players.

Parallelly, I was also performing a few stress tests on the affable automation app. Apart from using my own account and BOI's account, I also simulated the excess load on the Redis DB to make sure that everything holds up for the upcoming month.

^{This branch ended up falling on the electric lines and caused power disruption}
While I was doing this, there was a sound noise outside my house and the power went off. It was pitch dark outside and even Cooper got scared because of the noise. After the power came back, I went outside to find out that a large brack from the tree opposite my house had fallen on the electrical lines. Thus causing the loud noise and the power outage.

After the power was restored I had my dinner and also gave Cooper his dinner. After performing some more tests on the automation tool, I eventually went to sleep at 3 AM.

Thank you for stopping by.
Steem on!
