Just when you think you are all recovered there is all starts again. It is time to send some electric shocks through some parts of the brain.
A colleague was driving behind me. She is expecting a baby. I turned around the corner of the entrance to our building and sped away. At the next crossroad she caught up slowly with me. I reflected on how pregnancy or having a child travelling along in the car I am driving might affect my driving behaviour. Yes, I would be more careful. It brings back memories of a crash in 2001 (no! I was not driving - I walked out of the open door seen in the picture !!! but it was like watching a movie)
Rainy Milan one weekend, sunny Brussels another weekend (am I going to jinx the weekend by anticipating sunny weather?), venturing out shopping and not finding anything one weekend and venturing out not shopping at all another weekend...
Rock music, nespresso with orange taste, debating over what to eat for dinner - ready to eat microwaveable pongal with ready to eat microwaveable avial or freshly made rice with ready to eat microwaveable avial or freshly made spaghetti or nothing at all to keep the reduction of weight going....
Basking over a friend's compliment about my facebook picture and debating what to do with my brown hair after seeing it through a glass window at the Carrefour this evening... Where are those black locks?
Wondering what to do with all the wine bottles and fish and meat in my refrigerator with my husband's cousin and family visiting me over the weekend... I doubt they really know that I touch alcohol. Perhaps I should finish all tonight.
Jagjit Singh, setting sun, successful meetings, patiently challenging boss, 2 kilos less on the weighing scale can offset the returning feelings created by probing colleagues about those parts of the brain I talked about in the first paragraph.
Will this help next week?
Drowning oneself in work does not shut out the rest of your mind or clear out the result of being forgotten - perhaps selective amnesia will help more.
