Last night I lost my phone. And quite possibly my shoes. I think I have to break up with vodka. It's not a healthy relationship. I do remember that I was running through the club (as you do on four inch heels) and, just as I got back to the table, I fell. Perhaps 'fell' is not an appropriate term for what I did because I was so graceful in doing so. I kind of dropped to the floor of the emptying club (maximum exposure), like a petal, and giggled.

Seriously, where the hell are my shoes?

.Restless Abandonment.

The city is drenched in heat as July blooms. It is unbearable to be outside sweating in the sweltering, palpable air. The cicadas punctuate all sounds with the tattooing of their song. My breath is thick any time I venture out. I chose a great season to work with children. Yes, I have been entrusted with the care of twenty six-year olds. I love them but dear god do they drive me crazy. Teaching is exhausting, let me tell you.

Talk of getting a proper teaching certificate has instigating a tapping of the feet. I think that maybe I've been in Greece for too long. It's been over six months, over six months! What is next for me? Asia again? A stint in Tokyo that was supposed to happen this May? Maybe South America for some margaritas, enchiladas and latin loving. Should I be settling down? Do I give a shit?

All I know for certain is that I'm restless and I don't see that changing any time soon... no matter how many countries I go to.
