Today i only had to work a half day! usually the crew gets half of thursday and all of friday off during the excavation season, however now as the season wraps up and everyone frantically finishes analysis and reporting, they find themselves working through to the end of Thursday....but not this one! You would think that I would come home and be productive, but I really wasn't. i cleaned my room a bit and took a shower, and then chatted online.
My stomach was still a little off today...more and more I am growing skeptical of food choices, even though they often taste delicious, you never know how you are going to react to the bacteria here. I soon may find myself only subsisting on rice...However after we move we don't have people cooking the meals anymore and we will have to get them ourselves, so that will be more trustworthy. This morning i was working on my crossword puzzle and drinking my coffee, when I decided i needed more sugar...I left to get some and when I turned around, my good friends the maggots paid me another visit. i turned around and there they were wiggling about on my crossword puzzle (they must be coming from the ceiling). so i went to get a napkin to crush them and get them off the table...and did you know those things can jump? Here he is...he popped in the air after the flash:
Tonight we went into town for dinner. We ate at an Italian place. I just had pasta. Those were three very simple sentences.
I had a really good time and I tried the espresso there which was better than what I had in Zurich, but I also got to drink it out of a fancy glass.
I would like to take this moment to tell you all in Michigan that I do not want to hear you say how hot it is...when it's 88 here I contemplate grabbing a jacket...
Tomorrow is my day off and we are going to the Khan and the Bazarr I believe...the names probably aren't important, the main point is that tomorrow I am shopping. Now, I am not a big fan of shopping in the first place...and these places don't have fixed prices, it's all haggling prices down...because I have such a tremendous impatience for this sort of thing, presents for my close family and friends may not be as well thought out as they have been in previous vacations of mine. I dont even know what to get for boys out here...especially Kirk, that weirdo...I want to try to avoid really hard just giving people stuff that takes up space, but we'll see.
That should take up about half of the day and then i will HOPEFULLY do some work, either on my research design, or my area database. Then it's back to work on Saturday.
ALSO, i took my roommate's bed...it is amazing by comparison...it is amazing by default of being flat... I also now have soft fluffy pillows as opposed to the very uncomfortable one I had before. Finally some beauty sleep!:
Sorry that's such a boob shot...it's just the tank top, Egyptian water didn't give a C cup or anything like that.
Thats it for tonight, I need sleep now!
But lastly, Janel: I got your comment but I am going to keep it unpublished so no one else can read it. Give me your email and I will write you back about it.
