Cipralexing Day 3 @5mg
This morning I woke up at 4:30 and could never really go back to sleep until I finally had to get up around 5:30 for work. Clearly, I am still stressing out about things as that is the general reason why I end up awake or can’t sleep through the nights. However, either because of…

Cipralexing Day 2 @5mg
Well, another day has passed and I feel okay still. My stomach is still not quite right from the food poisoning and a friend of mine has suggested that I may also have a common bacteria in my stomach. So, I am going to make an appointment to see a doctor about it. As for…

Cipralexing Day 1 @5mg
So…I decided that with my dark thoughts before my trip that it might not be a bad idea to give the antidepressants another try given that my stressors are generally external and stem from people, from whom I cannot totally isolate myself. Whilst in Turkey, I got my hands on more Cipralex as it is…

I’m back…
Back to the grind. Trying to get my new schedule settled and to also re-evaluate my priorities each day. More to say. More to tell. But…am working on uploading the pics from the trip and then will update with

Turkey Day 10 – Istanbul
Today was the last of our tour-type activities. We had the same start as yesterday including the bus ride over the sea and back again to first visit the Spice Bazaar, which was quite interesting and colorful to see. There wasn’t just spices there,but souvenir items, scarves, jewelry, etc. [shashin type=”photo” id=”7506,7507,7508″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user”…

Turkey Day 9 – Istanbul Old City
Upon arriving at our hotel yesterday, we had thought that someone from the tour would have contacted us to confirm a pick-up time for this morning; however, we just went off of what our itinerary said. It was very trusting of us and of the tour company to assume we would pay attention to it.…

Turkey Day 8 – Gallipoli & Istanbul
We had a very early rise again (5am) to be ready to leave on a ferry across the Marmara sea to Gallipoli. Gallipoli is famous from the war for the Australian and New Zealand forces coming to the aid of the British in an attempt to control the waterways and ultimately Istanbul. It was a…

Update – Turkey
So, I had started to post on my days in Turkey, but then I decided to postpone them until I can put up pictures, otherwise, it isn’t as good to just read about it. Besides that, I need to have an abbreviated version of my pics since there are going to hundreds of photos to…

Turkey Day 7 – Pergamum & Troy
Our last big archaeological tour stops were rather disappointing…. We headed first to Pergamum, which is one of the seven churches in Revelations, but there was not much of that aspect at the site. Mostly, it was a lot of rocks and ruins showing where buildings might have been. The most restored were the columns…

Turkey Day 6 – Ephesus
We had a little bit of a later start this morning, which was nice. It also meant that we were finished sooner, but don’t let me get ahead of myself. Our first stop was to the Basilica of St. John. Apparently, the body of John is buried still under the ruins, but they have yet…
