Well today was actually pretty productive. I got up and ran this morning and then came home and my Vonage which was not working last night magically started working this morning. After my shower I walked down the hill about 0.5 mile to the grocery store and today was the first time I was brave enough to order from the deli counter in Greek. I was extremely proud of myself and didn't have to use any English. Then I made the mistake of buying 6 liters of water and i had to carry it the 0.5 mile home only this time it was up hill the whole way. I was wishing that I was one of those African women and I could carry it on my head.

This afternoon we went to the Embassy and took care of a bunch of housekeeping stuff. I also got 7 packages in the mail. All stuff that we have been ordering over the last couple of weeks. I order 5 books from Amazon on Wednesday and they were here today so that was a pretty good turnaround.

Still know job on the horizon but I heard they are getting ready to advertise a bunch of new positions in the next two weeks so I am hoping something good pops up.

Tonight we are planning to make a trip to IKEA so I am looking forward to that.

All for now.....

  2. Diddy, your Halloween comments are hilarious. This is a flashback to college! My favorite visual image of the posting was you, so proud of mastering your Greek conversation, contemplating balancing water on your head. I'm glad you're in retirement - how else would we hear these stories? David is missing out by having to work everyday. :)
