Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts

The title of this post is also the title of one of my favorite songs ever written by Funkadelic. Download it now. It is beautiful.

The good thoughts: My parents are coming to visit me next weekend, an unexpected but pleasant surprise. I just finished one job. I have two weeks left of another. Andre The Crush lurves me. The weather is beautiful. Tomorrow I will take at least two hours to enjoy myself because I have worked 14-hr days for the last two days and I effing deserve some effing peace and quiet. I like the new book I am reading right now (Middlesex). I promised myself to read at least 40 pages in the sunlight tomorrow, without feeling guilty about the work I should be doing. The Little Guy was told to do a school report on a topic of his choosing. He chose Paris. The Boy and I will bring him small Eiffel Towers and postcards and such on Thursday, when we go to Belgium for his first communion. I have beans soaking overnight in preparation for more red beans and coconut desert. Tomorrow I get to sleep past 7.30 am. Inch'allah.

The bad thoughts: My flight to Vietnam lasts 23 hours. It is a smoking flight.

Don't worry about the flight. You will be fine. It is actually 23 hours, non-stop? Wow. I thought they'd at least have you stop somewhere first. When I went to Thailand, I had to fly to Osaka first and then go on to BKK. But you are going the other way. :)

Just make sure to get up once in a while to move about. I don't have any advice about the smoking, though. JUst cross your fingers and hope that you won't be stuck next to a chain smoker! ugh.

forex market Heh. How it goes? Buy it all. ASAP. Last discount in your live (AAAAA!!!!!). Take a rest.
