I’m back.

Now dance.

New York, New York

People,

A whole lot has happened since I wrote properly in this space. In fact, so much has happened that I don’t think I’m the same person anymore. Fortunately for you though, I don’t feel the need to share the minutiae of my drama-drenched life. One day all that will go in a book, and if you buy it, you will be privy to the details of the struggle and whatever follows it.

To make a long story short, I am now in New York. I got here just a couple of days before election day and will be staying until mid January. So, to the three readers I have, if you happen to be in New York and want to meet up, drop me a line so we can arrange something.

1…2…3…Testing.

If you can read this, then Tololy’s Box migration has succeeded and my obscure technical abilities are, once again, validated. Hurrah!

This is a technical note, and not a regular post. I am still on a sabbatical –the sabbath never ends for lazy people, you see. Hurrah!

Going on a Sabbatical

Dear you,

I have found that I am too absorbed in my own condition to deliver much of value to the world, and for that reason I decided to take a break and reorder my priorities. Lately, I have been feeling that the quality of my posts has deteriorated, that I have lost my focus (if I ever had any), and that I yearn for something that I have not delivered yet. Some restructuring, shuffling, condensing, or toying must be done to pacify these feelings.

I will not be blogging for some time, so the box will get a bit rusty. If you want to communicate with me, drop me a line.

Do not despair though (hah!), I haven’t quit blogging yet. I’ll be back like the devil that I am.

Until we meet again, adieu!

Even Bigger Change

She was supposed to give birth today so…

…we arranged to go out last night.

I was excited and planned to wear my favorite satin pencil skirt.

It was supposed to be her last pre-maternal hangout.

At around 6 PM, I got an SMS.

“I am in a lot of pain. I don’t think I can go out. Sorry.”

“It’s okay. Woo hoo! I’m gonna be an aunt again! You’ll make a wonderful mom. Love you :* “

I then sat in my room wondering what will happen next.

At 1:20 AM I got another SMS.

“I did it! I gave birth to a baby boy at 9! His name is Laith and he is SO cute! It was OK!”

I stared into space.
