It’s been alleged that my blog should be updated. Yeah. I reckon that’s about right. Thing is, I really haven’t had anything to write about lately.
I suppose I should be thinking about tying up my last days in country. These are the last moments and I should treasure and fill each last one of them up with the joy that is intrinsically tied with that moment merely because of its beauty as a moment.
Right?
See, the problem is this: I’m checked out. I’m phased out. I’m already at the airport waiting for my sissy to get here so we can play and travel and get to know each other again. I’m sitting at home on a Saturday morning watching the news. In English. I’m taking my puppy for a walk. I’m going out with friends and understanding the punchlines of their jokes.
Now, don’t misunderstand me. I’m still having fun here. Perhaps more fun than ever. But maybe, because I don’t feel like my social life is no longer a struggle, in some sense, I feel like I’m ready to go home. I don’t know if that makes any sense at all. When it gets easy, then you know you’re read to move on. Not that Bulgaria has really gotten easy for me, but some things definitely have. The things that are the essence of what I will forever remember about my service in Bulgaria are smoother.
In other news, spring is here, although not today. Today is a very ugly day, but the weekend was beyond beautiful.
Sorry, I really have nothing to write about…

but here are some pics i've taken recently
oh for pete's sake. i have a lot of pics i'd love to upload for your enjoyment. but my computer/connection is beyond ghetto slow. these are from Kurdjali. That lil'bit next to me is the best thing that Bulgaria's ever dealt me, and by that i mean my counterpart (pc speak for colleague #1). and the other is a painting at a Church there. this is Neofit Rilski. a miracle worker and the namesake of the most famous Monastery in Bulgaria - Rila Monastery. ill try again some other time. did i ever post pics from greece? they might be on my flickr. just search for me there.
