unravelling the thoughts of an emotional blockhead

Sunday Currently

First time to blog using my phone, but hey: new year, new things amirite?

Also, South Africa!!!!

Currently:

READING: The menu of the Ribs and Burger restaurant in my hotel.  More seriously though, I’ve started reading what I hope to be is the real copy of Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury.  Man, this is what happens when I watch too much American Late Night Talk Shows.  This is on you, Colbert!

WRITING: This update.  Typing on the phone is easier than I remember!  Although that may just be because I’m using a machine that has an 8GB RAM…Later though, I plan on writing a couple more blog posts for this week.

THINKING:  How crazy it is that I’m on the other side of the world right now.  Amazing what 15 and a half hours on a plane can take you.  This is such a fantastic start to 2018’s travels.  Pretoria sounds scary but hopefully I’ll live to tell the tale of my first solo travel.  Also, thinking that I should probably speak up louder as the locals can’t seem to hear what I’m saying.  

SMELLING: Vague hints of cigarette smoke from the other table.  This is what I get for choosing to sit outside because I wanted to people watch!!!

WISHING: That I could be brave enough to explore on my own plus I wish I could create all the tools they’re asking me to create at the office this week.  You know, to their satisfaction.  They are, after all, the end users so hopefully I can come up with something really useful for them.  

HOPING: That everything goes ok in this trip.  I’ve yet to book my tours in Cape Town and am still waiting to hear back from the Safari folks so I am mildly anxious.  Also hoping that I can keep up my new “normal” routine while I’m here so I won’t be all wonky when I get back

WEARING:  The first stripey dress I pulled out of my suitcase.

LOVING:  The burger that they set down in front of me!  Damnn it looks goood!

WANTING:  For this trip to go well!  LOL I know I’m beleaguering the point but I really want this to go well.  Also I want to sleep the whole night tonight, none of that jetlag nonsense.

NEEDING:  To fix my suitcase.  I’ve only had jt open for eight hours but it’s already a mess.

FEELING:  A little bit over my head but mostly full from the burger and fries.

CLICKING: Through SEO how-to posts.  I still don’t understand how it works, LOL.
