Flying apart

It's been a while. I have been busy and depressed and preoccupied.

I'm busy packing my life into boxes to be put into storage, because for the foreseeable future I will be homeless, and most probably unemployed, dependent on the charity of family. *sigh* In between packing and getting rid of stuff I have also been trying to get my papers, attestations, tax forms, social security and all that other paraphernalia in order. It's not easy.

I find it hard concentrating at the moment. I'm too preoccupied by all the things I have to put in order so I can leave the country and I'm still too stressed by the break in. And well, Athens has degenerated into chaos once more. We've had protest marches, riots, police brutality, murders lately. The other day I went to the center for some business and I had to run through a big cloud of teargas to get into the metro station at Suntagma Square. Really heavy duty teargas, the stuff that stings and chokes.

I just had a call from a friend to tell me her father's in hospital. I'm very close with her whole family, so I really should organise myself to get over there and see them.
