Stress factor

That’s the only thing that can explain the churnings in my stomach. Plus, like Mom and I noted my appetite has increased. Then again, I do work quite a bit, I believe. I miss my bro. He’s such a big help. He is also reading the blog and I am just kissing up… naaaaaah! :)

The day before Falco left town and I was so so sad. First thing, it was just so hard getting out of Port Said to Cairo, I got delayed from Wednesday to Thursday, and Thurs 1pm to Thurs 4:30pm, and it really ruined my weekend having to deal with salaries and lay-offs at the factory. And then I’ve had to say goodbye to two really good friends I made this past month, Falco and Petros.

Petros, aka Yellow Wife, leaves tonight… he’s supposed to give me a call. And why does he have the funny nick? Well, one night he comes up behind me and sticks his mobile in my back and says, “Your money or your life” in his Greek accent, and I turn back all confused and I say, “Will you be my Yellow Wife??!” The rest is Ancient (Greek) history, and now Petros is aka Yellow Wife :). And Yellow Wife is returning to Greece today and moi is feeling a bit sad. I am going to miss them all. I don’t know how I am going to take Tina leaving, too. Its already beginning to hit me, what with the guys leaving.

Tina read my cards last night, and we decided since Petros dared me that I would think of him. The card reading showed us as quite compatible, according to Tina, quote tina “according to the cards” (haha, she didn’t want to state it as fact). Funny thing is she said that I liked Petros but something bothered me. I kinda let it out that I couldn’t really feel as easy as I did with the other guys, and really didn’t trust Petros as much. Tina said its because Petros has a stone-face that you can’t see through at times. After all that, Petros refused to have his cards read.. hahahaha.

Oh I forgot to mention, but Falco gave me a wine bottle when he gave back my guitar and books, and he gave it to Kailash. He said he was worried. I told him Kailash would never drink up my wine, and he said, no he thought Kailash may be overprotective. Hehe. And the wine bottle was personalized!! The label was ‘Chitrau Briand’ (took me a while to get the pun… Ch?t?auBriand…if you still don’t get it, send me a mail). Plus it had all these reminders of our time together. He said what I felt too, that it rarely happened to him that he got along so well with someone he had known for so short a while… Plus he was so nice on the last night. “Oh I will miss you Chitra”. :’( I miss Falco now.

I’m glad the topic strayed from factory stress to friends though, because I really want to keep my mind on what I love and cherish, and I’m really lucky to have met these people. They really filled up my life with so much love… Touchwood. Today I remembered Nauman in university saying “You need more flowers in your life”, and today I find that need fulfilled.
