Sleeping with the lights on and my eyes open.



I came home from a fun night in Troncones and found this except it was shiny and black with claws. I was so proud of myself the nights before, when I saw a spider or a small roach, I simply swept them to a more welcoming home. But this guy scared the bejeziz out of me, it didn't help that he was waiting for me in my bed. So I ran and found the first helper I could, the chef from the restaurant on his way home and my new hero. He came calmed me down and killed it with his shoe. Apparently this is not a scorpion but the claws threw me off. He said you only need to worry about the yellow scorpions. So I thanked him, still in fear and then looked down and saw a baby yellow scorpion. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. He came back for another kill but lets say I did not have a good night sleep. The lovely people from the hotel fumigated for me the next day. I got over myself and over it eventually.

Quotes from The Kite Runner by Khalid Hosseini

"I brought Hassan's son from Afghanistan to America, lifting him from the certainty of turmoil and dropping him in a turmoil of uncertainty"

"I wondered if that was how forgiveness budded, not with the fanfare of epiphany but with pain gathering its things, packing up and slipping away unannounced in the middle of the night"

A man is not old until his regrets take the place of his dreams
