When I got off the plane in Manila, I had been awake for nearly 30 hours, more or less. I had the remnants of a head cold, I was airplane-dehydrated plus I wasn’t quite sure the last time I had eaten, because time was not a thing that made sense to me anymore. It was around 1 a.m. ( Read more... ) -
On distant shores

another Monday
Four weeks left of work. Shorttiming like CRAZY over here. In the middle of two jobs, writing project, grad school application, friend's funeral, imminent arrival of ex from overseas to spend some time over the holidays...OH let's not forget I've barely given thought one to Christmas ( Read more... ) -

busy enough to forget the Brez
Yesterday I took a few hours' sick leave so I could get a bit more work done at home on packing/purging. I didn't feel particularly well - I'm almost certain to get a cold again once I have time to allow myself to collapse a little - but I think mostly it was best to just have a few extra hours' work. And I did a good amount! Today is one week ( Read more... ) -
