Parrots, Pretzels, and Pangs

Usually I work about 3 days a week on average (85-90 hours).. this month I'm working 5-6 days/week (115 hours. It's kind of craziness, but I'm makin' that moneys. Hopefully it'll be worth it. :)

Another Stuttgart trip! I like Germany.







This guy was so fun. As he played, his parrot would hum, chirp, squawk, whistle and bob along with him.








Other than that it was pretzels, German truffles, walking street, and beautiful weather.

I'm still quite spooked about the whole Air France disappearance (BBC keeps an event timeline, if interested). The whole thing seems a bit hushed-up. I have my own theories about it which I whole-heartedly believe. I now feel a quick jolt of anxiety every time I walk on a plane - not fear that the same thing is going to happen to me.. I can't explain the pang, really.

And Thanks for the messages of love, too. They mean more than it would seem. :)

The bad thing about working so much.. I've lost my ever-grounded inner peace and I can't seem to take enough time to just stop, focus, and reground myself. The real problem is that I know exactly where I lost it, but I don't want to travel back there to regain it. That means I'm building from scratch and it's taking all of my energy to do it.
I apologize for the vagueness. I think the last part is more for myself than for the blog. :)

  1. Emily,
    Here's wishing you airborne inner-peace. After all, you can't ever *lose* it; you just forget you've still got it sometimes.

    See you around! (the world)

  2. I hear ya. Sometimes it's hard to express what you're feeling into words, and even harder to want to put it out there and have to account for it later. Look forward to seeing you soon! Try to take a breather here and there when you can, but ya gotta make a living ;)
