I'm feeling better
already after a weekend away. I don't know how long the
symptoms of happiness last, but I'm hoping they'll be
just long enough to last until I get back to Mexico. It
was the first relaxing weekend I've had for a long time.
I stayed with Obi Wan and friends on Friday night and
with E and M on the Saturday night. Well, I had several
drinks and a lazy day with the first, and a little
cultura mexicana, plus a few more drinks, with the second.
It was really nice to have a decent Mexican breakfast of huevos mexicanos
yesterday morning. All day I've been thinking of things
Mexican - K foremost of course! I only wish I'd spoken a
bit more Spanish. I think my confidence has suffered with
only English people to speak to.
I've applied to a school in Mexico to
teach English, and hope that they have some openings so
that I can go there soon! I've finally been paid for a
part of my work at Easter, which is a disgracefully late
time to be paid for my work. I don't think I want to work
for them over the summer if this is how long I'm going to
have to wait for my money. I'd probably starve first!
Anything else this week? Well, the job in
customer services just seems to get worse, but at least
it's provided material for the start of a story (Static). I'll see if I'm motivated
enough to finish it by the end of the week. I backslid on
the smoking embargo, but as I'm feeling quite rough now
after a weekend of smoking, I'll try again. Someday my
instincts will believe me that it's right to not smoke.
Finally, I think of K more and more these
days and find it almost impossible to wait any longer to
see her. I think all my friends noticed that I was kind
of distant this weekend, but I can't help it - my
thoughts turn to where she is whatever I'm doing. I hope
they can put up with it better than I can. Hey ho, only
18 days to go!
