Finally Arrived
We're two days in to the official transition and I must say that everything is going quite nicely, but for the problems with Prue's visa. It's hard to express what a bummer it is and I'm not sure there really are adequate ways to say such.
It's still a bit hard for me to really grasp what's going on--that I'm living in Dublin and am on the MC. Moreso the whole living in Dublin thing. Everything is so impressive--the architecture, the streets, the public transit, the incredible overwhelming stench of horse shit that you occasionally pass by.
Things are so old.
Waking up in the morning, it usually happens around seven since the living area seems to be a collection sight for blindingly bright sunshine, regardless if the blinds are drawn. Don't get me wrong, it's refreshing. Besides, it's really easy to fall back asleep.
Eating breakfast, if you sit on the side of the table facing the small balcony, you can see St Patrick's. Old buildings juxtaposed to new(er-ish) ones.
There are all these thoughts running through my head, but it's hard to get any of them out because there has been sparsely enough time to synthesize. Tomorrow, I will have to take time to lay in the grass and soak up some sun. Just so that I may think. And read.

Think about the ugly Belgian guy huh? Good times. Also, everything you mentioned above makes me yearn for the days of March when we were strolling (strolling is a lighter word, more like hauling ass) down the streets of Dublin in a frantic attempt to quench our insatiable thirsts at the Gravity Bar. (sigh) And now you're living it. I will visit sometime while you're there so we can relive it.
