October started slow
  then there was this sudden crisis 
  3 family members down with dengue
  and got hospitalised at the same time 
  *
  so I had to take charge of
  everything in the family 
  mentally and physically drained 
  and hit with some biggest 
  frustration and disappointment
  that had to do with their attitude
  *
  and after they were discharged 
  I was down with high fever 
  but thank goodness
  admission was not required
  *
  so I put on my out of office sign 
  first time since February 
  but still working everyday 
  knowing very well
  that's no way I can stop 
  *
  and for the next 2 days
  had to finish work earlier 
  and went for blood test 
  to make sure I was really OK
  *
  survived the month 
  juggling work and family commitments
  all I can say it 
  well it just made 2020
  more memorable than ever
  *
  and finally had time to
  bake some bagels, pizza and 
  even some Halloween buns 
  before the month ended
