These days I’m craving simplicity - easy tshirt and jeans to work, a hot mug of tea to start the day, and a slow long swim to end the week. I’m winning the Academy Award for looking so serene on the surface, but actually I’m turning myself inside-out trying to get out of my mind. It’s been such a heartbreaking and aching place to stay the last few weeks. Thank God for friends. Although I could use a shoulder for a long cry, I guess a quick one-armed embrace will suffice. But I know I can’t use friends as therapists all the time. And besides, I’m not taking their advice.

Anyway, the last week in review.

Monday: My PD showed me a picture of blue balls.. on mice.

Tuesday: National day! This is home, trulyyy, where I know I must be. WHeree my dreams wait for mee. My dreams won’t wait for me 5 years, will they?

Wednesday: Watched Horrible Bosses.

Thursday: Baked a chocolate raspberry cake.

Friday: Went to PI’s house for some shisha! Ooohhh

Saturday: Don’t remember where this day went. But there was definitely moscato involved.

Sunday: Went to Wild Wild Wet and got really seasick.
