Tired

Fuckit, I never get sick. The last time I was sick was about 8 years ago, and that was malaria. There’s a flu doing the rounds here, and it’s really kak being sick when it’s 45 degrees outside. And on top of all that half of my snr managers are on leave so I couldn’t afford to lie in bed and feel sorry for myself. This time of the year is known as the lemming run – all the expats go home to escape the heat. Traditionally the men go home for a month, but the wives stay in the holiday homes for the whole of the summer. I’m going for 3 weeks, and so is the rest of the family. Imagine just how much a mom and two kids can spend if left alone at the waterfront in CT – for three months! Hehe, almost forgot, I’m going to the UK next week on business. But it’s visiting a mining exhibition, so it’s not exactly hard work. So my holiday is a bit longer than theirs… :
