Braising my Beef

i have been forever hankering for a vacation.

i finally got my well deserved break from work. i looked forward to late nights, late mornings and lazy afternoons. lo and behold, i have never been this awake, up about and running since i moved here to new york.

the biggest reason why i was on a week vacation was because of my mother’s visit. for the most part, i have been very excited about this trip because i havent seen her in a long while.

sadly, she has dragged her friend along and i am relocated to sleeping on the floor. i have psychologized myself to it. i was ready.

until i moved all of my stuff to the bigger room in the apartment. lo and behold, say hello to muscle and joint pain. and again, hello to sleeping on the floor.

its weird that when i was growing up, she kept telling me that i can do whatever i want when i live on my own, earning my keep. now that she is visiting, she keeps insisting on her own rules. she’s living under my roof and i have an unmentioned curfew. haaaay.

one more night after tonight, i shall sleep on the bed. aaaaah.

and in 7 more days, my unmentioned curfew will be a thing of the past.
