Wondering Never Ceases

Sometimes I do wonder what life is all about. I am so tired I want to go to SL just to relax. Now, anyone who knows SL will say you can’t write relax and SL in the same sentence. But that is in cmb, the suburbs and on the streets. As long as you keep away from Sri Lankan roads, life can be relaxing.  

I am dog tired most of the time and tired with life in general. This silly cycle we tend to live. Get up, work, tell the children the importance of studying, eat and sleep and do the same again tomorrow.

Son still has few more years before he finishes school, then I can sit down and evaluate what I want from life. Daughter has been threatening to leave home, on and off since leaving school. I discourage by bringing the negatives I can think of. “You will have to cook, clean, wash, iron, pay bills”………she then replies “ok I will be back home in two weeks” and we go through this cyclically. She threatens and I use the dispiriting scenario.  

 But the time will come when she will say “I am flying over to Melbourne to live” and I will have to let her go. She reckons she wants to live in Melbourne. Why? May be because that is where all her friends want to go. What is so darn good about Melbourne? Damn smog, miserable weather, trams on the streets and snotty Melbournians!  

Son already is thinking global.

So that leaves me. Perhaps I will travel. Yes, I think that is what I will do. All I want now is to find a travelling partner. So we can argue and fight all through the journey.

This post doesn’t make sense even to me I am exhausted to the point of hallucinating.
