worn out

It’s a beautiful, clear, clean spring day outside, but I just don’t have the energy to get out and enjoy it. First of all, work has been busier than ever, I mean, I really don’t think I’ve ever been busier at work. Secondly, the news from home is not good. But it’s the kind of news that leaves me with nothing to do but wait for the inevitable.

In the meantime, Xiao Han celebrates the spring equinox with some beautiful pictures of the Summer Palace. Those photos contain a lot more flowers than I’m seeing around here, although I am seeing many subtler signs of spring.

So here I am, trying to get up energy for the coming work week, and waiting for news whose contents I already know, but whose exact timing remains stubbornly uncertain.
