Okay...so here's the deal. We were away for two weeks then A. came to visit for 9 days, one of my closest friends from canada and damn it was good to see her, we shopped till wedropped and laughed cried a little had fun, watch great films and Sex and the City and ate drank and were on the whole merry! She brought me tea and hugs and love and I miss her already! then we left again for almost 5 days for Nürnberg, how I adore that city. Found a shop thats ells beautiful rainbow moonstone jewelery and labradorite stuff, amazing and fabulous! We are back now for two weeks then we bugger off again and I am so sick of travelling and hotels and NOT being home with my husband. It is so strange, most people would love to do this but I have to tell you it gets old fast. What annoys me even more is no internet in hotels...come on get with the programme it's the 21st C. And when they do have internet it is so expensive you kinda wonder what that deal is... bad food, expensive breakfasts, small rooms, no heat ( the hotel room in Nürnberg was COLD and there was a draft that blew around it for some reason...) complain comlain.... I am always so grateful to get home. Home.... home to where I can make tea and coffee and lounge in the bath tub, do laundry and sit at the computer without seeing euro signs floating up out of the notebook. I have to get back to work on the DOTE stuff, next chapter is about to begin and who knows what that will bring... In Nürnberg that was a toys R us and we stopped by to look at their Star wars stuff, pretty dissapointing actually but we did buy a Darth Vader bubble bath ...matches our Darth Maul one we got in London many moons ago. LOL one of teh cooler things on this trip was that instead of takingteh San Bernadino tunnel to gethome we took the mountain pass...WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEE amazing above the tree line and it looked just like Newfoundand, going up the Northern Peninsula. At the top of the pass people had stopped and made their own versions of Inukshuks or cairns to mark their travel I guess. It was some how weird and sad and wonderful to see. My father would have loved it. Mountains were his thing. It was the most beautiful way to go and I think we should take the passes more often when we can because the San Bernadino tunnel is a fucking wreck. It looks like something out of some god awful scarey sci fi film where you expect aliens or very bad things to come charging out at you any second. I hope the pass will still be open in two weeks when we have to go to Munich for a week. Gotta find a hotel with internet in the city. Munich is a fun place though. And last time I was there i didn't get to explore really, this time I will have more time and get o bum around look at stuff learn the city's face and so on. I won't be buying a dirndle though already have one and I never wear it. On another silly note our tv is broken.. I meantion this not because we actually watch it or anything but just because. I watch my exersize dvds on it so that's a bit annoying...my life is so hard ...( sarcasm) nothing else....what is new??? hard to have new stuff when we are not ever home. We start another beginner's Italian class soon. YAY us. I am still on the search for good music to write to... currently playing 'Nocturnals' by Peter gabriel. okay enough chit chat back to the world of merlyn ..... love to you all -prayers and best thoughts to those on Hurricane watch.... until then be excellent to each other! |

A. made it safe and sound and arrived very late last night.... of course we then stayed up even later chatting. I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to see her again. She's just as beautiful and and wonderful as ever. YAY! ------------------------- ------------------------- ---------- A small miracle in the midst of the craziness going on in the US atm. I watch the news and am horrified. ( www.ctv.ca) that this catastrophe will cost the same as or more than the war in Iraq. This is scarey. Where is all this money going to come from? Donations pour in from all over the world, but what a mess. How could such a mess like this happen? ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------ not much else to tell you. The day has started off with sunlight and coffee, I am sluggish and tired. But I am home. Warm and dry. One of my best friends is here and the sun is shining sort of. These are BIG things to be thankful for. Until then, be excellent to each other! ------------------------- ------------------------- ----------- red cross USA [url=] http://www.redcross.org/ [/url] red cross CDN [url=] http://www.redcross.ca/ [/url] Red cross UK [url=] http://www.redcross.org.uk/ [/url] Red Cross International [url=] http://www.icrc.org/ [/url] |

We got back on Saturday. It was a long long drive and I cannot tell you ghow glad i was to come home. I also cannot really express how glad i was to have a home to come back to. I have said it often and I will say it again I am so lucky. I do know and understand this. I am thankful. Our trip to Germany was good but living for 8 nights in a hotel is a bit rough. It was nice to see friends again, and get a chance to talk more with people I never had the time do do that with before. (Thanks F, for the internet and the chats I really enjoyed that.) I forget every single time how much I miss people until I head back to Acer and see all my work collegues and friends again. Then I remember what it is like to be amongst people, have that human interaction with more than just one person. Oddly enough i don't miss it when I am actually home at least not that much. This trip I spent a lot of time in the hotel writing and a lot of time just wandering about the towns we were in. Ahrensburg and essen. Essen was fun, lots of shops to browse and things to just look at, a pretty place really. We had an interesting evening when an American who was sitting next to us at one of teh restaurants struck up a conversation and that was fun. I love spontanious conversations. that odd contact with a total stranger you are never likely to meet again and what always astounds me are the things you will tell a total stranger. But somehow after the first five minutes they are not a stranger any more either. He was interesting and the things we talked about made me think a lot, afterwards. I suppose as I often tell others there are no real coincidences and everything happens for a reason, often we never see the reason until much much later and even then sometimes never... I stopped asking why, a long time ago and just started accepting that things happen in life and you just need to work through them and move on. A. is coming for a visit this week at least I hope she is coming, some major screw up with her ticket and CheapTickets.com who really fucked her about, by the way, so I don't know I guess we will be at the air port tomorrow evening to see if she actually gets off the plane or not. Sooooo looking forward to seeing her again and hanging out and being friends and stuff...just stuff... For us it is back to normal, house work and cleaning. Writing and playing and living. That day to day stuff we take for granted but when they no longer exists. We are lucky and we know it. anyhooooo on today's list of to do are donate to american red cross, clean house sort out spare room do laundry edit story chapters that are so far written ... life in a nut shell hugs to you all. until then be excellent to each other. |

What is this world coming to? Is this a sign of what is to come? What happens when the oil runs out? the US in shreds, anarchy and choas? A government that is on vacation? A news organization that openly critiques the rest of the world for not helping out when it's own damned government REFUSES help from ofthe nations ....yes the U.S. said NO to german red cross help. People are dying swallow your pride. we got back last night and are once again tv-less and I am relieved. Not because i don't want to know what is going on in the world, trust me I know I find out I read.But I am so rotted with CNN it is not funny. talk about shitty journalism. I always knew they presented biased news but now I know 100%. Michael Moore has some choice words let me tell you. finally there will be help from over seas going to the US but first we all have to discuss it and talk to the politicians and get permission and etc etc etc...... omg ridiculous. I have never seen such a clusterfuck live on tv. And as the guy from the UN stated clearly there is help there waiting to come into the country but WE HAVE TO BE ASKED FIRST! Can't just barge in and help out. Your government has to request aid! this is not about who is the more generous and who helps out more this is about pride and a govenrment so totally unprepared that its president was on HOLIDAY and took far too long to open his eyes. unreal. our prayers and thoughts are with those poor people down in those cities and towns who now have nothing! |
