Mahjong Life and Living

Plenty of things are happening around me. I am using many distractions around me right now to divert my attention to a number of different directions. Even mahjong itself can be considered a distraction at this point. Given everything that is happening this month, it is necessary. Sure, I have a ton of draft entries in my collection at the moment, but they are generally not being filled.

Since then, I had stayed over at my sister's residence just to get a feel of living in this town (again). The past five days were reserved for some quality family time. In general, it was some good downtime after a large event, where I had a tremendous amount of fun and enjoyment. By this point, I presume everyone else had made their way home. Tomorrow, I make my return home; and as soon as I arrive, I plan to make my way home to my mahjong club. Given any large event, we have multiple people from multiple directions, and they are all mutually unique from one another. Yet, general commonality brings such people together due to a shared common interest. To be more specific, we are a bunch of very crazy people willing to spend some extra money just to play this
