Tear Gas Hangover

I am a bit overwhelmed right now.

To begin with, I have a massive Jaegermeister hang-over which is only exascerbated by the foggy memories of being subjected to a tear-gas "attack". I don't know the facts. All I recall was that I was drunk at a nightclub around 3am. A fight broke out. I didn't pay much attention, as that happens all the time, right. This girl I was trying to practice Spanish with started having a coughing fit. Being a gentleman (of course) I got her some water, but soon realized that everyone was coughing. My throat was sore, but I thought that was just the Marlboros. I turned to a buddy and asked, "Tear-Gas?" and he replied "Yup" as though it was no big deal. He too was super drunk so at the end of the day, not sure what it was. My theopry is that it may have been a way to disperse the fight.

I ended up in another club later, dancing Salsa to club music and got home around 530 am. (I'll have to censor some of the other crazy details!!!)

At 9 am, throat parched with a major chuchaquee (hang-over in Ecuadorian Spanish) my door-bell rings. A huge truck with all my furniture from Japan arrived. Then I spent the next 4 hours or so directing the unpacking. My 2nd move in the last 6 months!! Now, everything is out of the boxes and my place is a disaster zone. I gotta start making a home again....

Note: I am at an internet cafe as my connection at home is down. I am getting visa photos for Brasil even though I don't know if I can get a visa on-time. Work is nuts. My burger just had saran-wrap in it. I need a maid. One of my toilets doesn't flush, the bath water is a bit brown but........I will persevere ; ) Nothing seems to faze me anymore....
