So, all my travel is booked and the countdown has begun. In just a few hours (46?) I will be biking the streets of Amsterdam with my lovely amigas, then seeing the sights of Brussels, and finally settling down for some tea with Her Majesty. Then it's back to Budapest and time to prepare for another semester. Speaking of British things, I made an English friend this weekend who definitely lives in London. BAM. Tourguide.
Before I leave there are still a few things to do. I've been, (slowly and rather inefficiently) trying to clean the flat, really clean it. So yesterday I attacked the bathroom with a knife and a bottle of bleach, and it turns out my bathtub basically repels bleach and other harsh chemicals. Really! I mean, I'm a bit impressed but really there comes a point where you just want your bathtub to sparkle and when that's not happening but your bathroom reeks of bleach it's just not a good situation for anyone. So that's where I was yesterday. The knife helped a bit. After a talk with Momma I've decided to have another go at it when I get back. This time with even more chemicals and powders and brute force.
Moving on to other things that no one cares about but me- last night was gorgeous in Budapest. It wasn't too cold and not even the slightest bit windy so I walked for a ways. As pretty as it was, it's still gives me a bit of a weird feeling to stare up and see no stars. There's just black. It's a bit like someone painted the sky into place, but forgot to add them in.
I guess I'm just missing my West Coast night sky... No sense lingering there.
About Zumba- I haven't Zumbaed again. I know! That's not follow-through- But I did admit it so I think that's come accountability. After some thought on the matter, I decided that I'm not very fond of the man in the Zumba video. He's kinda expecting a lot seeing as I'm not a salsa dancer and don't have his Colombian genes! I found a different workout that I want to try. So today, it gets tried.
I miss my phone, a lot. BUT- I got crushed ice today. A lot of it. And that is a beautiful thing.
Two days! Time to clean, wash, budget, make life plans, hydrate, pack, grocerize, get swept off of my feet (which are freezing right now) by Prince Charming and live happily ever after.
I might need more than two days...
Farewell.
