Better Times

I got many comments, emails, messages, etc from friends and family encouraging me. It's so rewarding to feel support of those around me (and those a little farther from me). Thank y'all (yes I'm still from Texas)!

I almost slapped myself last week. I needed to see the great opportunity I have here and stop complaining. And it seems like I did. I definitely had a good weekend. I relaxed. Yes I actually did! I got some work done, watched movies, went grocery shopping, talked to family for a long time, caught up with an old roommate, got a package from the US (with lots of lady stuff I can't find here... thanks Nata!) and a sweet bday card (a bit delayed).

Today is a good day... I finally tracked down the Venezuelan Embassy (not getting deported yet) and will be getting my new passport soon. I'm having a fairly productive work day (which Paul will appreaciate) and should be looking into some trips (to the South!) in the coming weekends.

I can't strech myself too thin. I need to go through challenges, enjoy them and learn from them. Nothing new but it has taken a lot to really get there.

Enough of boring entries... hopefully I will have some more adventures (that don't involve flooding) and will be writing about those soon. Stay tunned!
