A bear's life


I have my period, I’m tired and the weather really pisses me off! In short, I’m in “bear-mode”.

Tony always calls me bear. When I asked him why, he said: “You walk like a bear (really?), you growl like a bear (yeah, okay) and you’re cuddly like a bear.”
This weather also makes me hungry like a bear. My body thinks it’s autumn and time to prepare for hibernation.

Earlier today I burst into tears watching “Freddie Flintoff goes wild” when he has a close encounter with wild elephants in Borneo. My heart longs for experiences like that. To feel alive, really alive and in touch with nature. Instead I’m busy trying to sort out my job situation and studying for an exam. I try to take myself for walks as much as possible but let’s face it: walking along the river Thames past a herd of cows is not the same as meeting a herd of elephants in the jungle of Borneo.

A bear needs to live in the wild and this bear’s paws are very itchy from walking on concrete for far too long.
