Maybe God went to Harvard

Mr Bear has got a scholarship to go to Harvard. So they are not going to Toronto yet. Last night Bear came in to the kitchen with tears and said,
"we're going before you get back now"
and we sniffed at each other for awhile until we realised she had the dates wrong. Tonight we had flat breaking up antipasto dinner. I tease Mr Bear that he has a very wide conception of antipasto. But that was last months funny. Tonights one was at my expense. I suppose they often are. But Mr Bear wanted to drink his and Bear's nice bottle of french champagne they got for a wedding gift out of mugs rather than bother washing the wine glasses. While I was snorting at him, I sucked some caramelised onion up from my gullet that I'd eaten while I was barbecuing in the dark with my head torch on and scalded my oesophagus. I have contact with doctors on a daily basis, if you want to challenge the biological soundness of what I just said you can f off. Anyway, it hurt. And Bear and I decided it was karma, punishment, because Mr bear has joined the world of the prestigious elite, protected by God Almighty Himself.
I wish God Almighty Himself could peer one eye over in my direction. With a bit of champers in aforementioned gullet, I merrily tore open my mole map report that came in the mail today to find a nudey photo of myself and a recommendation that I get a mole mildly suspicious of melanoma excised to remove doubt. It's not really on my ass.......more my hip. Bloody hell. I've got 2 weeks left in the frikkin country. And I'm still to sign my new employment contract. The boy, of whom I've tired of calling the boy and will take to calling Mac now, told me I had better read the great big doorstop of a thing properly in case there is a 'test' clause in there that says you will come to work wearing pink fluffy slippers twice a week, and if i miss it they won't offer me the job anymore. To which i'd say, i didn't miss it, I just happen to like pink fluffy slippers, I already have a pair at home.

So I'm quite hyped up at the moment. I have regular panic attacks where my chest gets tight and I am overwhelmed by nausea. I see my Wellington life swimming in and out of focus and then disappear from under my feet like the outgoing tide. I think I will need to work on my relaxation techniques.

I think I will also get Bear to guest appearance on this blog from now on. There were cobwebs when I came in tonight.

    That sucking up gullet experience sounds deeply uncomfortable, ergo it was well written.

    If you can make me physically heave, I will nominate you for the booker prize.

    It seems this is a great time in your life, even if there are some tears now and then.

    I've found that one of my greatest comforts in times of boredom or distress is thinking back to when everything was changing, when I was moving from here to there and had no idea how it would all turn out.

    Lucky girl.
