Norouz It has been a while since the last time I updated. We had Pishi's cousin here with us for the last month and it was nice to have her around. We spent time together, went to Norouz party and different site seeing places. In total in the last month, I went to the airport 5 times. What can I do, I am a sucker for the airport. For some reason, airport is a symbol of life. Some leave, some arrive and some are waiting. Anyways she went back to Iran last week and we miss her already. Since last I updated, I got a great raise and bonus. It was about time to be paid off for all the hard work. Knock wood my new boss is great. I got my enhancement eye surgery done over the weekend and so far I don't see any change. It seems as if I haven't gone through it. Although the optometrist said my eyes are swollen that's why I don't see the difference yet. I hope he is right, otherwise it would be disappointing. I hope I could touch base with the surgeon in the next coming weeks. In less than a month Pishi and I along his parents and brother and his cousins are going on vacation to Europe. I can't wait for the great journey Pishi had planned. We will start from Amsterdam, then go to Barcelona and then to a number of cities in the south of France and end at Paris. It would be a fantastic 2 weeks. Today, I didn't go to work as I needed to give my eyes more rest before I start work again. By the way, I am done with my braces and now I have my retainers. One more implant to go, which I am planning to have it done in June and I think by end of 2011, I will be done! I must confess, I feel blessed. Specially today, when I was catching up with all the chores left, from refilling the dried herbs that my mother in law sent to archiving my teenage/ pre-marriage memories, I felt really fulfilled. Despite the craziness at work and the fact that I have been nagging about it, I felt at peace. A majority of it comes from Pishi, who has been my rock during the crazy times at work. I know in couple of month, I will have my team energized with the team building exercises I am going to introduce and I can't wait to have more improvements in the team.
