LOLing

I have finally settled into my new home, unpacked all my suitcases and bought most of the things I need, these include DVD player, coffee machine and so forth. Its odd how what we consider thing we need has changed with time. I think most people would consider these things are kamaliyat (not sure what the English word is for that).

Anyway, I spend most of my day at work, reading, talking, and getting my work life sorted. And then I head home, usually stopping at the supermarket Al Hudda (the Cozmo of Sana'a). I come home and I "cook"-more like I heat pasta with some sauce, or I get some of the frozen food out of the freezer. But I decided that this will end this week, I have been following a blog for a friend of mine, The Hungry Hen. Her recipes look amazing and seem easy enough, so from next week I will be working through her blog, making one after the other. (not sure how that will go, as I am not a big fan of cooking...but Sana'a is all about trying new things)

After that I sit in front of the tv, and this is where the strange thing is happening. I am starting to enjoy my own company-I know I should have learnt that long ago as an only child but I think being in Amman among my friends made me forget it. I watch a bit of TV, I listen to the news, and then I put on one of the many DVDs i bought with me. Recently is been about 30 Rock and Family Guy. But last night I started talking to myself, telling myself what I need to do tomorrow, what I still need to buy for the house, or simply telling myself jokes that I actually crack up too. Seriously, I am LOLing all over the flat at my own jokes, and I'm loving it...its been a long time since I have had this much fun spending time with myself.

So Sana'a is about starting a new career, and it seems it about me rediscovering myself. Very enjoyable, and just that little bit scary.

Tomorrow I will write about some initial observations I have made about this place in the past 10 days I have been here.

Something for you to look forward to

Till then...

Good Night and Good Luck
