There is so much work to be done in my memoirs, but as recession becomes a serious menace, I am forced into a serious reclusion syndrome, wherein I will have to sacrifice my memoirs for a critical provincial cure.
I have no desire to write in my memoirs when I wake up, and because the Greek Olympics are on for the next sixteen days, I have decided to hibernate and holiday for a few weeks.
Watch Opening Olympic Ceremony Live
I am assured this month will be a phantom month, where like my dreams, I whither away inside this house. I did so yesterday, where I watched the Opening Olympic Ceremony live on television up until 5am. I liked its theatrical element, but as an Australian of Macedonian heritage, it was deplorable to hear a commentator declare ownership of Alexander the Great to the Greeks.
Really, Alexander the Great’s father was King Philip II of Macedonia. Alexander even extended the Macedonian empire to conquer even Greece itself. I was appalled to hear this nationalist plagiarism. Its implication rallied me to protest and turn off the television. Despite this misrepresentation, I watched the Olympics Opening Ceremony before I drifted off to sleep.
A Fallow Day Watching The Olympics
When I woke up at 1:30pm, I viewed the remainder of the Olympics Opening Ceremony replay on television.
I had such a fallow experience today, where the only highlight was when I washed the dishes around 3pm and then made lunch, which was mushrooms with wine pasta and sauce with red kidney beans.
I also handed my parents the bottle of spirits I purchased a few days back because its liquorice smell overpowers me. I was surprised how enthusiastic mum was for the bottle. I poured a small shot, which enticed her.
I have since then catnapped from 4:30pm to 6pm, which is when I woke up to watch the news and our national swimmers and other televised disciplines.
I had dinner, swallowed pills and watched television, and that so far has been the day. I have no drive to socialize or to leave the house or to even expend energy. While I am neither disillusioned nor depressed nor a ditherer because of induced apathy, I feel a holiday is deserved and reclusion is the only answer.
