sleep well

12.20.2012

The sun rose today as it has since the beginning of time.  A nutty Chinese Christian sect believes tomorrow the sun will not rise and earth will remain dark for three days.  What do I believe?  How the hell do I know if this or anything will change?  It’s certainly time for it, don’t you think? 

Laxman’s sister returns to Israel today or tomorrow or the day after so the family stayed up until three am, and two of the participants snooze in room five.  Maya rises to wake me up and clean the dining room and the garden of bones from Prem Maya’s three kilo chicken.  Suraksha returns from my room with the bag of Austrian chocolate.  Mama’s running on a three quarter tank and there are people to be fed.  A pair of English with Irish roots are in room one and wish to stay another night.  The lady wants to pay now so they know how much money they have on them. 

The internet is down and we’re back in the nineties.  Omigod we’ll have to talk with each other.  So,  the man, who’s name may return to me, tells the mainlander he is from the land of Robin Hood.  Nottingham, jolly good.  Beijing.  Whoo, where’s your faith today, Jong-guo-ren? 

For less than three dollars I made a quick betty crocker brownie mix with maraschino cherries and mother nature’s answer to the most difficult of questions in the counter oven and after having had a piece twenty minutes earlier, I’d like to clean room five now but the relatives are still bloody using it.  People unconsciously decide and behave differently when they receive information that is somehow not to their liking.  It’s after twelve, the room is reserved.  Let’s go kids. Oops we’re taking showers here the family is, no problem, lunch time. 

Just a quick surf through the web and there’s no way anything will happen tomorrow.

Tomorrow!!  Yahoo.  Oh I have waited and waited and I am letting myself get into a tizzy, ok, not really.  My feet are cold and I continue to eat the brownies.  Guy arrived with his Pakistani assistant and are comfortably resting in room five. 

And now Oh I sleep and pray thee keep nigh.
