Alpina's blog post - Everyday Life

Wednesday, January 18, 2006, 9:45:23 AM

Rain has set in and it's everyday life again; Phillip is at his publisher's for the day, and I'm trying to do some more work completing my paper. Yesterday I had kind of a breakthrough - with Phillip's help I downloaded a programme that allows me to record radio programmes, and now I can make CDs for the classes about my postcolonial writers and their books by using BBC 4 archive material. Not bad for a technical idiot, is it?

As finally my "Red Alert" is over for a month, we celebrated this early this morning by having wonderful sex ... at least I thought so, while Phillip did not look particularly happy first when I carefully rolled a condom over his throbbing manhood ...

Now I am alone ... there are flames roaring in the fireplace ... and I ought to get dressed. But I usually enjoy walking through the house or working here in all different states of undress .. even if it's a little chilly (it's only a t-shirt and a fingerring now). Before I get dressed for the day, I have a wonderfully long, hot shower to get warmed up and then I feel ready for almost all challenges of the day.

One is to take my cat to the clinic again; fortunately her tumor is not cancer, but something else which is fairly unpleasant, too. She needs some cortisone shots ... then her leg might heal again if all goes well. Let's hope I am lucky again.

I think Everyday Life is the same everywhere but it is different too.

It is quite hot here in Thailand now -- coming up to the super hot season too. There are always too many people around to walk around in different stages of undress.

But still, we have dreams and fantasies. We have sex with others or just with ourself. That is everyday life everywhere.

Thanks you for a beautiful blog.

I love regular days.... they're comforting like a warm fleece and provide me with some sort of fuel to use on the irregular ones.
Good news on the progress of your paper too Alpina, it seems like you've got to the top of the hill and can breeze down once you've got your BBC archive supplies!
