Left: Astrid and I at dinner on Friday eveningTwo days after my mother's departure, Astrid and Nira were scheduled to visit me in London. Astrid and Nira are my linesisters and we pledged the Pi Alpha Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta in 1993. Astrid attended Yale undergraduate and Harvard Law School and she is a practicing lawyer. Nira attended Yale undergraduate and is a writer. We have a great friendship and I was looking forward to seeing them. While we have taken local trips together (ie Martha's Vineyard and the Hamptons), it was the first time that we had t
raveled internationally as a threesome. I was definitely worried because I did not do ANY work while my mother was in town and I had so much to catch up on. I worked until insane hours (like I always do) with the hope that I would catch up on all of my assignments so that I could spend quality time with them. We haven't had a "sleep over" since we were college and I was looking forward to seeing them. Unfortunately the plan did not work. On their first night here, I ended up spending 30 hours at work (yes, that would mean no sleep) trying to finish a document which had major errors that I had only discovered at 4am in the morning. When I got home, I was so exhausted that I could barely engage in a decent level of conversation with them. Fortunately Astrid and Nira came to London together so they could entertain one another during the day which left me feeling less (although not much) guilty about being emotionally and physically drained. Despite my work schedule we did manage to spend some time together. While I did not have the opportunity to do any site seeing with them, we did manage to have dinner every evening and even hit a few clubs. It was definitely nice having company and being with my long time friends!
