Веши and things

     Another short update. I've been noticing on weekends that I'm really tired. More so than during the week. I think I just need to think about something else for a few days. My mom will be here on Thursday. Then I can have a bit of a vacation.

The waiting is the hardest part

     Tom Petty knows what you've been feeling. It's been almost a week since your last fill-up of Brian-and-Ukraine blog goodness.
     OK, that's all the ego-inflation I can take for now. There really hasn't been a whole lot to talk about lately. So I'll give a basic rundown. I had a good weekend. Played some games with my upstairs neighbors on Saturday. Sunday English club was packed with about 41 people. Monday was about the same but we had more teachers. That made it more manageable. Had language lessons on Friday and Tuesday. Movie Night was on Tuesday after the lesson. That was good. We watched the pilot episode of the BBC's Sherlock. Lots of good discussion out of it.
     Oh, today is the beginning of month seven here. It really doesn't feel like it. But if I look back on all that's happened, it does start to feel like I've been here a while. And I'm already starting to talk to people about coming home in August. It still feels like a while away. It'll be coming up faster than I expect.
     Next Sunday is the first non-holiday, regular worship service for Liberty. I'll let you know how it went probably early next week. Part of the Liberty meeting on Wednesday was working out the last-minute details and such. We'll see how it goes.
     That's all for now. Not a whole lot to report. Thanks.

After Action Report

     I'm back from the retreat and, wow, I have a lot to talk about. It's been a couple of days and I can finally sit down and write about it. I came back to a normal week with English Club, lessons, studying and life that needed taking care of before I could write this.

Two Quick Lessons

     I'm still in the process of writing up the recap of the weekend's excitement. But here's a quick two-point thing about some things I learned this weekend.

When the Moon Hits Your Eye...

     So, in a followup to my last post, I'll let you know about my experience at Pizza Veterano.

Scattershot...

     ...for the scatterbrained writer. In the spirit of throwing this post together on not a lot of sleep and about five or six different ideas, this is my Saturday update that covers this past week and the highlights therein.

Do you ever have déjà vu, Mrs. Lancaster?

I don't think so, but I could check with the kitchen. 

     Happy Groundhog Day! I didn't know it but today is also Groundhog Day in Ukraine. So for all you out there who put stock in the prescient capabilities of prognosticating rodents, this is your cross-cultural experience of the day.
