Wednesday 12/28: A Day of Rest.

Despite being really tired when I got into bed last night, I couldn’t help myself from opening “The Hunger Games,” which I had started the night before… It’s just so good—you can’t put it down! Well, I read until 1:30am.

I slept in until 11:30am, got up and had some breakfast, went over to feed the cat, then crawled back into bed again. I spent the day reading, skyping, replying to emails, etc. Just relaxing, drinking lots of tea, and blowing my nose pretty much constantly. And letting the dogs in and out of the house. Boogie is pretty much awful. Last night she chewed up one of the slippers that my host family had lent to Candice for her stay. And Boogie has been eating the cat’s poo out of the litter box, which means I keep having to sweep up the litter that she spills all over the floor. In addition to all that, every time I go upstairs, Boogie goes up on the couch (which she knows is not allowed) and as soon as I come down the stairs, she is leaping to get off. Which proves that she knows she’s not allowed to be up there, but continues to do it even though I yell at her every time. And now she’s started coming upstairs, which she also knows is not allowed. It’s exhausting—especially compared to Dunja who is for the most part calm and well-behaved. I’m really looking forward to Boogie leaving on Friday.

Over skype, I helped Jessie find a ticket from Seattle to Bordeaux! She’s coming from April 2nd-May 1st!! I’m beyond excited!! :)

Then I stayed up late again, skyping for hours with Brigid and then finishing The Hunger Games around 3:15am!


I got a letter from Mark and Christmas card from Candy and from Anna!
