Tonight my t.v. and fridge seem to have blown a fuse. Here’s how my week went. Monday a.m. I had the ice hockey 🏒 player. In the afternoon, I challenged an advanced young boy with Shakespeare. We each memorized lines, it was quite good fun. We had costumes, a stage…
Tuesday I had two people. The second was another guy from another SCP Paper Ružomberok, owned incidentally by Peter’s brother in Virginia. Hmmm. Dagmar called me Tuesday night and they will fly to Vienna for Easter! Also Sigrid and fam will be there.
Wednesday I was off and went early with Zuska to the foreign police station. Waited once more behind closed doors until we were permitted in. The lady Zuska knows already was quite nice. No problem, except a few more things Zuska must bring back.
Afterwards we took a crowded, packed, hanging-on bus, and went to Metropol for coffee ☕️ and crepes. Very nice atmosphere. We had a nice visit and she treated me, too.
How My Week Went
Thursday I had the SCP guy and later a very advanced-vocab, British accented man. He recommended going to the Blue Duck restaurant in Prague and ordering “blue duck”. Very sophisticated convo about the Orient Express; we used words like mysterious, luxurious…
Friday I taught and my “dreaded” afternoon-boy who no one likes to struggle with, cancelled. I was all prepped for him too. We were going to play “Twister”, “Simon Says”, and “Mother May I”. When Chris told me he canceled, I thought he was joking, but it was true.
I had four units Saturday a.m. 8-11 with the SCP guy before he took the train back (to Ružomberok). My next student cancelled.
The weather was great! All week has been super! Except for the couples everywhere and (missing) boyfriend, I’m not too depressed. In the evenings, I’ve stayed home and worked on languages. It’s good to study again, at my own pace. I’ve finished three NG’s (National Geographics) and two paperbacks.
I try to keep up on email and writing, but no-one’s written me (back) except Helen. And I have been slow responding to email, except to boyfriend and Mom. Mom’s on line now at EC (Elderberry Creations) so we write on a daily basis.
Went to Calenetics Saturday eve with the instructor I enjoy. I was going to go up to her after class and say, “I don’t understand a word you say, but I really enjoy your class.” Typical Cheri. Well, no matter what, this week will be fun. And for the next eight days, I won’t have to be by myself- I’ll be with friends!
Michael Comes Tomorrow
Also I have to look for some flat shoes tomorrow, and cash some TC’s (travelers checks). Good thing I brought US $1,000 with me, as I haven’t even gotten paid yet. When I get back from Vienna (over Easter🐣) it’s only six weeks till Mom n Dad come. Boyfriend doesn’t think so, but I think the time goes by fast. Especially in retrospective.
Oh this week I also sent an email to GBR (Gift Basket Review) regarding possible column and articles for both publications. Of course, I was expecting her to respond the same day, and was disappointed when she didn’t.
