How things change in a day - in a night, even. I had in mind this whole indulgent post before leaving tomorrow for what just might be ages, but that really doesn't seem to matter too much anymore.

I wish I could be more of a support, be readier with the right words, be more of a comfort, to a dear friend going through something so colossal. But I don't. And tomorrow I will be gone, too, and fat help I will be, huh? Well, I guess sometimes all you can do is offer your best, condolences, and prayer. I'm sorry for your loss, friend. And I pray you'll pull through.

 In other news, going to miss my kids very much. Especially after today when it felt like perhaps a sort of breakthrough with the dearest Tricia and Clara.. Shan't be seeing any of them for the next 3/4 weeks at least, I hope I won't be forgotten by the time I get back!

And because I have quite literally nothing to offer but words (bad ones, stupid ones, useless ones):

Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind.

Just came back from the actual WORST SAILING EVER. Haha ugh yuck sigh. So upsetting, almost made the horrific decision to play mahjong tonight, until I decided it really is time for me to treat my body a little more kindly... Not turning any younger anymore unfortunately! And the chef for some reason or another apparently hates vegetables. WHY. Never thought the day would come when I'd eargerly await my next meal hoping for some form of greens and be so bitterly disappointed to see none. My next poop is not gonna go all that well I fear!

Actually craved a salad after, unbelievable. And I'm drinking this Vegetable Juice (beetroot! carrot! celery! radish! acerola!) now to boot. What depths we've sunk to huh.... Really just wanted to whine about this sailing actually. Since all we did over the past 36hrs was moan and bitch about everything we could think of. It was actually disgusting. Whateverz.

Next few weeks promise to be exciting, at the very least! Time to finalize travel plans at long last, a new adventure awaits. And verrrrrrry happy with my new camera too yay! Thought it was the most expensive thing I ever bought and was very pleased about that fact until I remembered I bought this laptop too. Splurgingz ttm.

Finally, just wanted to reaffirm my love of Lean On (Major Lazer are you even kidding me with that name) and how it is my firm favourite for Song of the Summer! Cultural appropriation aside, ain't no other song got those grooves on, c'mon. Cheerleader = the worst. That is all!
