Ghalab El Hawa, ginger snaps, and chardonnay

i started writing this last night
and then i didn't finished it
i miss my blog, i miss my life
i miss my mom, and sure going to miss my boss!

this January really started with some core changes to my life
my boss of 6, almost 7 years, that btw, has been my best friend
of 10 years, is quitting the job
tomorrow is his last day, and even if he's a fair person
and doesn't let me get away with 'bad' behavior at work
surely it has been great to have your best friend as boss

now all will change, i am on my own in this company
i know the co-workers very well now, and most of them
are really nice and understandable people, yet
being a small non-profit company we tend to be
a bit on the disorganized side

oh well...

and then i miss my mom like hell
she was here with me for a bit over a month
she was sooo much help! she took care of the Gatos
of the food, of the cleaning, and was always waiting
for me with a warm plate of home re-friend beans
and whole grain bread and tortillas
and a hot cup of rooibos tea

i've always been a fairly independent person
i am much of a loner, and i always had some
sort of trouble towards authoritative figures

and now... i cannot believe i am missing
my mom, and my boss

oh well, life does change

so last night i was curing myself
by drinking little sips of cheap chardonnay
accompanied of ginger snaps while listening
to this moody Iranian (?) song
Ghalab El Hawa

and contemplating some photos of my mom
i took in December, like this one where she's holding
a San Francisco de Asis photography book



those were the times!
now, only 1 month later, all has changed

I'm very sorry, to see you in trouble!

Whenever you don't know, what to do, there will be a new view. :)

I know a very special town in Germany! :)

You are always welcome!!!

Change, though always challenging and often painful, is always a new beginning, a chance to start things over...so it's not all bad : ) There will be the silver lining emerging shortly. Look for it as you hang in there.

oh Bere¡¡ que terrible¡¡ lo peor es no poder estar con esas personas que tanto quieres todo el tiempo, pero no estes tan triste, siempre estan pase lo que pase, claro a menos que se muerann y aun estan ahi de alguna manera. Yo se que nunca he sido autosuficiente y creo que nunca lo sere, pero las cosas pasan por algo, y si en ese algo te puedo ayudar ya sabes, tambien en mexico hay un lugar donde llegar. Lastima que vivas ytan lejos y no pueda darte la sorpresa de que he llegado a hacerte el quehacer y tener un plato de comida listo y calientito para dartelo, (pero si... ni manolo), claro que si fuera para ti, sabes que si lo haria, hasta podria bañar a los gatos y tener una semana de asma y problemas bronquiales. No desesperes y sabes que Matt, yo y muchos , siempre estaremos para ayudarte en lo que necesites, abrazos y besos.
