Tag "lapis jewelry"

To clean house you gotta raise dust. Today I’m packing up my Bangkok apartment. I’m cleaning, mopping, schlepping heavy books for resale, trying to wrangle an XXL suitcase, writing a radio script on an esoteric Burmese spirit festival, and bracing myself for a 54+-hour flight with five layovers–all in the next 48 hours.

Thank goodness for bubble-monkey pauses.

I have Baltic-blue wedges, a mop,

string-cheese biceps,

more laundry to do than is humanly possible, soda water,

books on high shelves,

in-flight reading material,

and, best of all, a meditation MP3 from a guy named Dr. Wise intoning:

Acceptance is relaxation

Acceptance is relaxation

Acceptance is relaxation

Bisou! My next post will be stateside.
