Cold, cold office

After about two weeks of unrelenting really hot sunshine (missed about 10 days of it being in India where the sun was hot but the wind was cold and the food was divine) it's started to look like rain again. It's always blazing hot for the Chinese New Year and the rains will come at the end of the celebrations which is this Sunday - Chap Goh Mei. This is when women wishing for a partner go throw oranges in rivers, the sea. Am contemplating throwing an orange this Sunday. The last time I did this I ended up getting married within a year and divorced within two years. Maybe this time will be the charm that will bring home and pets and kids. I can hope.

It's good though to have storm clouds again after all that bright, hot sunshine. Cloudy, stormy days and the night always seem so much kinder and friendlier than blazing hot days. It's looks seriously dark and stormy right now and it's just 3pm. Am keeping my fingers crossed for a proper storm to break.

The new year has started in a muddled fashion and life is pretty broken right now. Maybe everything does happen for a good reason even if I cannot see that right now and maybe life does manage to fall in place somehow in the end.

And there is the Eastercon to look forward to and pints of cider (does not exist here) and a place to fit into. In the meantime, the stock market has opened for the afternoon session and I need to go and earn my keep. It's definitely time to change jobs, change the way things have been drifting the past couple of years.

Namaste.
