Home Sweet Home

I am back in Istanbul.

Yesterday morning I went to the cemetery and told mom and dad that they left us too early and that I was heartbroken and angry. I don't know if they hear me or not but, I told them anyway. I can't believe it's been two years since mom's passing.

Then I dropped my cousin's bags and had coffee with her and her mother.

I met an old co-worker who is also a good friend in the afternoon and we spent some time together. 

My childhood friend with whom I had a long vacation last year took me out to dinner for my birthday and by the time I got home it was 10:30 p.m. and my suitcases were still unpacked. 

I could not get up early today so, I hit the road after 2:30 p.m. Lots of thundershowers and wind on the way and as I was halfway through, I realized that I forgot my phone charger in Ankara. Dumb!

The tunnel was closed due to road repairs so, I had to deal with more and slower traffic. As soon as I arrived in Istanbul, I ran to the nearest mall to get a new charger. I also did my grocery shopping. Walked in my apartment at 9:30 p.m. Phewww!

I am so tired but, also glad to be home. I have a busy half week ahead of me. Then, the painting will start.
