Decent Day
Topic: This and That
(This was taken in June. My Mom got Ryan a modular "Play Hut." Ryan loves it!)
The last couple of days have been pretty good. It always takes me a couple of days to adjust when Larry leaves. Now I feel like Ryan and I are starting to get back on an even keel.
It helps so much that I know people here now. It feel so good to me that I can run into people I know while walking down my street, or running errands at MHS. It also feels good to have friends to socialize with.
Last night I watched my friend Susan's daughter, Hannah. That was fun! She's five months old and a sweetie. I can't believe how long ago it seems that Ryan was that little. Time seriously flies, especially with kiddos.
Susan and I got together this morning and went to IKEA. That was fun. She needed to return something and I needed sheets for our new bed (well, and pillows, and a duvet, and a duvet cover, and pillow cases...). Susan was a big help, helping me figure out what the heck I needed to get! Sometimes I go into brain failure in IKEA. There's just so much to choose from.
Susan very kindly treated us to lunch afterwards at an Italian place. That was really nice. I hadn't "done lunch" in quite a while.
I am really proud of myself: this afternoon I had a conversation in German, and I think I said everything right and I understood everything that was said to me. YAY!!! :D I am very pleased, considering that I haven't spoken German in over a year. (I was trying to call a friend of mine from the States who is visiting German family right now.)
Tomorrow I'm going to a baby shower, and Monday night there's a spouse's coffee that I'll be attending. I'm very much looking forward to both.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
