That moment when...

Life is full of little moments. Usually, they end up in a Twitter hashtag. But I don't have Twitter. So, I give you, live from my blog, the little moments of my day. Including that moment when...

#you wake up with a sore throat, despite feeling fine the day before, and become terrified that you won't be allowed to SCUBA dive on your fast-approaching trip to Australia.

#you find yourself unexpectedly not that sore after a day of dragonboat practice.

#you go to dragonboat practice and realize your soreness was just hiding, waiting for the time when you'd ask the same muscles to do the same thing in front of dozens of people...because that's SO much more fun!

#you get shave ice with your dragonboat team and find yourself wondering how many more shave ices you'll get before you leave...

#you eat your last meal with a good friend who you might not see again before you leave...

#you have to say goodbye to a good friend who you might not see again before you leave...

#you finish writing 150 goodbye cards in just a few hours, and end up with exactly ONE card to spare.

#you actually have the TV on at the moment that the movie you'd wanted to remember to watch is playing.

#your dad is home at the same time that you're awake, and answers Skype, so you can wish him "Happy Father's Day."

#you hear a dog barking out of an apartment window and realize you just walked into a scene from Disney's animated 101 Dalmations.

#you go into a 7-11 and see it being used as a 7-11 in America would be: by big, burly men with late-night munchies, buying food from a bored-looking middle-aged man.

#you realize that writing daily blogs that are actually original and worthwhile is exhausting and impossible.
