Yesterday was great! I forgot how much I enjoyed having a family to spend my free time with.
Thank goodness I slept in until nearly 10:00am because I wasn’t awake for more than 30 minutes before Jovin wanted to play some football. That lasted nearly 3 hours until lunch came around.
After that it was a relaxing day. I did my laundry—and will probably be doing a load every day now that I have a washing machine to use! That’s one thing I have really really missed over the past four months. I can’t believe I was washing my clothes in a bucket just a few days ago, spending over an hour each time. This luxury of a washing machine is something I have been taking for granted my whole life (and will probably continue to do so for the rest of my life, but for the time being I will sing its well deserved praises).
I did some work (on a weekend?!?!) to catch up on some things I got distracted from in all my excitement of traveling. I also managed to get destroyed in a few FIFA matches, but I’ve never claimed to be good at video games so I can’t complain about that.
Another thing I have dearly missed is some quality home cooking. As much as I love mishkaki and chips, eating in the open air, often harassed by at least one person while trying to enjoy a quiet meal doesn’t quite satisfy the desire for a relaxing meal that one often craves. So, dinner was absolutely delicious.
Overall it was a pretty solid day. Productive and relaxing at the same time. Today is my first day back at the school and navigating remote work and all the chaos is going to be interesting, I’m sure it’ll work out though!
