Drip, Drip, Drop

I know this is another update in just a matter of days.............but its that time of year: the time when illness, rain, and location put you out of the running for almost anything other than reading, watching I Love Lucy, and writing. So that has been my week. By now, I think I've watched every movie I have twice, maybe thrice. I had to borrow a couple of books from Shannon's stash as I've turned the last of my pages. I've been filling notebooks like the environment isn't a concern. Yesterday, I cleaned my apartment - my one room apartment- for nealy 3 hours. Tomorrow is Saturday, my day of exploration and discovery, and its supposed to rain. Next week I have a 4 day weekend thanks to a couple of holidays, and guess what? Its supposed to rain. I know its April, and its Asia but dude.......... I mentioned something in an earlier post about wanting galoshes, just because I thought they'd be cool, but now they really would be practical. This week was actually shorter, thanks to hugging the toilet and scratching my sides all day Monday, and my students were quite concerned when I came back on Tuesday -lots of hugs, candy (just the thing for an upset stomach) and even a beautiful gift from Bali. Yet somehow, it actually seemed to drag on longer. Sometimes it feels like I'm wandering around in a dream over here, where I've lost track of time and my days just run together- though I know exactly how long I've been here, and exactly how long till my contract is up. I'm running into a lot of "halfway home" blues with co-workers, or maybe just a halfway lull, which I'm really trying to not get sucked into though I am deffinitly wondering what the heck to do with myself. *sigh* I'm thinking I 'll be posting again soon.......
