Well....just found out that a good friend of mine here is moving back to her home country this summer. What a total bummer. But, I am happy for her. I have a number of days I ask myself, "What on earth were you thinking leaving such a comfy life?"
Our landlord here is playing landlord games. "I am going to sell the property." Never mind that we have to live here through that process if that's what he decides to do. What I think is actually going on is that he wants to raise our rent. Fine. But really, could you just talk with us about it? No, of course not. It is way more the 'norm' to play this idiotic games.
Munchkin #2 has had a low grade fever and really bad cough the past few days which has triggered some of her asthma symptoms (like wheezing). The doc put her on antibiotics, but good quality expectorant is not available here. So frustrating. And because of the asthma, I can't put her in a warm bath with 'goo clearing' aromatic stuff.
School calendar stuff....rumour alert! Rumour alert! We thought that since our school's calendar has been 'published' and 'accepted' it would be set in stone so to speak. Well, there were other calendar things published that really just didn't seem right that changed what was already 'set in stone'. Now.....rumour alert, rumour alert.....a mum buddy of mine at a different school said that the publishings were 'in error' and that different folks/groups are blaming each other for the reporting 'error'. Whew....I hope my buddy is right. Nothing like buying plane tickets and setting your holiday schedule only to have it changed. I feel like I live in a giant rumour mill. Here's hoping for accurate information.
The husband is soon off on a business trip that will take him to the home country. I am so jealous. As the weather begins to warm up here, I start to really get hit with the homesickness kind of stuff. I am ready for green trees, green grass, a beautiful cool lake, and a comfortable basement/lower level to curl up in at night while I watch movies with my kids.
Peace.
