In a land of loads of real palm trees there was somehow a need to "plant" this fake orange one along with the other colored ones around it. Near Taipei, yes, thats me! June 2004

Recipe for burnout by yours truly

1. Move to a VERY different foreign country

2. Take no more than 3 day weekend vacations for 10 months

3. Have major elective surgery just to worry yourself out of any remnants of energy left in you.

And POOF...here I am. Now that the eyes are producing their own lube again (where ALL my post-lasik pain was coming from) I guess my body is not gunna take it anymore.

I woke up this morning only to get a lecture from myself on how utterly emotionally and physically burnt out I am.

Ugh!

Was going to take a break from blogging, but had to check plane prices today anyway, so here I am. I may be missing from here for a few days. Who knows. All I know is that it will be a bloody miracle IF I dont fall apart by Sept 14th. (expected departure date). Ugh!
