Teething troubles

Today started off rather gloomily. And to add to the gloomy mood of the day, I have the most annoying toothache! Now who wants to deal with the annoyance of having teeth pulled out within days of moving into a new city? From past experience this is the only thing dentists seem to suggest these days. I applied some Pyralvex to the painful tooth, in hopes it will disappear for a while.

We are yet to move into our new apartment, though luckily we have finally got delivery of the front door keys. The problem is we have not yet got our resident visa paper work completed (a common thing for their to be delays on this front I take it from reading other Colombo blogs). So our shipment of belongings are stuck at port, and we are not being able to clear it! We have paid for this service apartment only till the end of this month, so that means there is every chance we will have to move into an empty apartment with no furniture!

I will have to get busy soon. With studies of all things. Will be doing it from home, but still, been getting goosebumps on how I will manage time to study. I hope I will still have time for this blog.

What else. Oh Daughter says the funniest of things. The other day I told her I will keep an eye out for something and she says "No keep BOTH eyes out". And yesterday I was trying to convince her not to waste her food as God does not like it, and how there are so many poor people in the world with no food to eat. And she has the most interesting set of questions.
  1. How does God manage to live in the sky? Can he fly? How does he sit there?
  2. How does he know what I'm doing right now? Does he watch me with a camera?
  3. Why doesn't he give food to the poor people with his Godly powers?

Ofcourse I had no way to answer any of these questions. Have got quite good at avoiding such tough questions with politician like prowess! But how about you, what would you have said?
