Well, finally I was able to remove all the junk that has been piled for weeks in the moderation queue by going into the database and deleting them from there…(thanks for the tip, Q)…unfortunately, in the process I deleted almost every single comment in ‘The nerve‘ post with the exception of a few … what’s surprising is out of all those that gotten deleted, Rihab’s did not! Very sorry to all whose comments have been mistakenly deleted…
Anyway, I got back to Chicago last Sunday night. The flight was quite interesting … the person sitting next to me was very pleasant. She gave me her card. I called her today! The kid sitting a few seats across wanting to stab me with his plastic knife … the couple sitting across from me were definitely newlyweds…they definitely needed a room!

Monday morning, I was at work. Thankfully, I didn’t have any work piled up since a freelancer was filling in for me while I was gone…(see, this tells me that my job is so important that it cannot sit and wait for me to get back for it to get done )…I’ve been jet lagged since…I don’t remember most of the things I’ve done and said this past week. Typically, it takes me about 2 weeks to get over jet lag. Is that bad? Finally, today I finished unpacking my bags… and I’m almost done with my 10 loads of laundry. God, how much I hate doing laundry! I cannot stand it! I didn’t think my carry-on fits this much! See, I have this fear of losing my luggage and so every time I travel, any clothes I’m packing go with me on the plane…

Should I resume my marathon training?! I’m feeling so lazy…for the next few weeks, I need to get back to my daily routine… which may as well include my daily runs!

I have no idea how to get rid of the (15,377) Comments in moderation which are all junk by the way. I cannot ‘Select All’ nor can I ‘Delete All’ because the page never fully loads without freezing up and causing the computer to shut down! This is to serve as a reminder as to why I am not in the mood to write here anymore! well, at least till I try to figure out what how to delete the 15,377 junk piled up!

After a loooong delay at O’Hare airport, I arrived to Jordan at 3 am this morning…It feels nice being here…but already, not even a day later, I cannot help but get annoyed at some things … like for example the exhaust that makes me feel so nauseous, or the cigarette smoke (though I’m an occassional smoker myself, I still cannot stand smoking inside public buildings), the men who act as if they’ve never seen a girl walk down the street, the honking of the horns and what tops it all is the guy who tried to trip me as I was walking down the street! I wanted to knock the wind out of him, but he was nice looking, so I let it go this time.

I’ll leave the pleasant and detailed accounts for a longer note when I’m over my jet lag!
