mars sniplets.

the sight. once upon a time.

well, what can i say? i've been on mars ever since i left oman 4 months ago.

some sniplets about my new life here on mars;

1. i've retired. or at least i'm trying to. more on this in a later post.

2. i miss daily human interaction. both from this lockdown and retirement.

3. i went to the dentist for the 1st time in 150 years. more on this later.

4. the pandemic has made us all feel how isolation feels like.

5. having more time on your hands doesn't necessarily equal more things get done.

6. this time last year i was dreaming of getting lots of malaysian food in the bazaars. yup, that STILL hasn't happened either.

7. i cry more now. both happy and sad tears. seems my heart has gotten softer.

8. the oil price went to negative in the states. never thought i'd live to see that.

9. i have a newfound respect and adoration for the medical community, authorities with sound technical and social judgement, and what the term "essential workers" actually means.

10. i realized that i have too much stuff. need to sell and / or donate after this. simplfy life.

11. i used to bemoan having little time to devour my books. i still haven't finished one.

12. i miss my omani family. they're idiots but i love them.

13. i feel the need to write again. there's things i wanna say. lots of crap, in fact.

..i'm back, i guess.
