Two More Weeks to Go!

Yo.. You all know I am back in Wonderland for a few days (four weeks).

And all that I have done so far is sleep, sleep, sleep! No Kidding. I remember times when I used to stay up until the wee hours of the morning and then go straight to work or university, with one eye shut.. and the other closed! But those days are well behind me now and I really need my sleep, especially here, where people are fussing all over me and making sure I am comfortable every minute of the day.

You see..I have now become a rare commodity.. someone who will walk into the house for a month or two a year, and then be seen no more. I wish there was more time and I wish I didn't waste so much of it sleeping .. but sleeping at home has a different feel to it. I don't know what .. but it just is more comfortable.

Nevertheless, I have to admit that I spent lots of time with family and close friends..embraced and showered by enough love to melt the snow of the coldest winter of my life in Canada! I really missed familiar surroundings, family and friends...including Blackie, our evil cat.

I have also been out and about exploring the place and of course, digging dirt; been to the fish market at the crack of dawn looking for crabs for the crab party we are throwing tonight; eaten lots of food which other people have cooked; been to restaurants where people greeted me 'welcome back' and got me my order without me having to order it; avoided Bahraini TV and radio and all newspapers following my doctor's advise; and last but not least met with some of Bahrain's bloggers, whom I have also introduced to my larger than life grandpa!!

That's all for today .. and catch up with you later :)
