The Letters

[nelly]

Don't know if I have mentioned this but my mgr's husband has suffered a serious attack while withdrawing $$ from the ATM...he's been in the VGH neurological ward...he's stable but still in serious condition. Many obstacles ahead she says. I've been calling her every few days and last week she let me visit him with my mature coworker T. T is only 6 years older than me but he's super serious, married with 2 kids and lives in the suburbs. He thinks we are eons apart but we always talk about business, industry, career plans etc. As far as I am concerned the only thing he's got one up on me is a mortgage and less freedom. Mind you he also got hitched at age 23. Who does that anymore?? I can only begin to imagine the turmoil and struggles of my mgr, she's been through so much in the last week taking care of her hubby, making sure he comes around. Taking care of her teenage daughters. That she let me visit him means she trusts my compassion is genuine. Though as R said to me "you're going to hell cuz you told her ur going to pray for him, and you dont pray".

I am planning a trip in March, this time to hit up a few more countries, possibly never to return ( i wish...) including: Malaysia, Beijing, and Singapore or Thailand.

Thailand is the super Euro/white thing to do, hence i have never been interested. Flying to some corrupt land and perusing their booze and women and coming back an enlightened being for it never appealed to me. Not does the backpacking thing....does NOT interest me in the least. I mean it is way way way easier to meet people but I'd rather lie in a hotel room with fluffy pillows and watch tv and eat snacks. Call me close minded.

I've changed, but hope the changes aren't final. I'm ready to take off soon again.
