Old postings
Stumbled upon old stuff from last year before the kids were here with me. Should have been part of the missing series, and should've come at least before They're Here post.
The missing and the drinking
Unbearable lightness of the head
It’s not until the next day’s hangover affirming your diminished youth and braincells deepfried in beer batter while fired by nicotine, that you realize it is true the ability to gulp down gallons of alcohol and keeping it down the next day, is gone. At least until the next drinking spree when you will try to prove yourself wrong. Believe.
The Anticipation.
Trip.
My untied shoelace, which wasn’t my doing or undoing
Stumbled me into a waiting oblivion.
Oct. 20 2007, on my first application for the visa of my kids, also applicable upon hearing that there was no need to change the visa had we.... ; almost always about visas and trips)
Waiting to exhale.
I didn’t even realized I was holding my breath until I called the Thai embassy and made a follow up of the kids’ visa. I exhaled a little upon hearing that it has been approved. And then there is the actual flying. It seems I have been holding my breath ever since I got to Thailand. And that was what, 5 months now.
Sleepless in Thailand
It’s been a pretty restless sleep for the last five months, and not at all without alcohol. But three days from now I’ll be sleeping like a baby because my babies will be with me. Of course there will still be things to worry about, things that will come up, but that can wait til later. When they get here, they get here. For now, that is all that matters.
