It was another precious day that I did not step into my office... A very rare occasion unless I'm abroad and it's physically impossible to go to my office! It was possible as both in Japan and in Iran, it was a holiday! I spent most of my time together with my wife and taking a nap in the afternoon... what a pleasure! On the other hand, I'm feeling how much weight I'm gaining each day recently... I want to blame it on the fact I'm not being able to do my job of journalism, but it's rather because I have too much stress, I can't stop eating and drinking!
PS This isn't too much right!? just some yakisoba and rice!
It was a Friday... a Friday that I finally felt I was taking a rest... I was sleeping till 10AM which was perhaps the first time this year I was able to do so! It was a very warm day but I stayed in my office to start cleaning up some mess, especially the accounting papers which I hadn't touched for nearly two weeks. There were some tasks left for my collegues who had to leave the country today, but they handled them with no sweat and it was quickly the time for them to leave... I was happy for them that they could leave this country without being to burned and I really felt that I was the one left behind. After seeing them off, as they were smiling saying good-bye, returning to my office alone, I really felt the pain. Alone again, naturally...
PS I was surely happy to be able to talk with my wife on Skype though! I'm alone now, but I surely would like to see that change soon!
Song by Gilbert O'Sullivan A song that reached No. 1 on the Hot 100 a month after I was born! It's about suicide they say, but I remember it more as a sad song losing your parents... I surely do not want that to happen and I also do not want to commit suicide, but I think it's a beautiful ballad so why not I paste it here!
Well, after hearing the bad news in Afghanistan last night, I did not go to my office, but checked the international news websites to ascertain that the terrorist attack at a prestigious hotel was not too big a deal. Of course I knew it was not a small matter at all, but after I went to sleep from about 4AM, I could not wake up till late in the afternoon to see the updates. But I made up my mind to take a rest and stay at home. I needed some courage to stay calm and forget about the news for just a while! It was my day off and I had to take a rest!!
Staying at my room... I just munched on junk food! my favorites!
Oh yes I had my favorite sushi yesterday, so today it was junk food time!
