It's been quite a day at the end of long week. In the twelve hours since Russ has been up, we...
watched the Bears/Packers game live (technically, I was still sleeping but Russ and Justin caught the last quarter)
went grocery shopping at Lulu with Justin and his kids. Scored on some amazing looking veggies and lettuce.
came home to discover that the mouse has been in the kitchen cupboards.
spent two hours at church, which was a particularly good service.
ate leftovers from a dinner party we had last night. Vegetable curry over rice.
cleaned the cupboards thoroughly. Threw away a fair amount of food. So gross.
read up about the protests again the US embassies. The word around here is they are directed at the embassies,
not American individuals. There have been no alerts, and the furor is expected to die down soon.
bottled our first batch of wine. Sampled it and the result is pretty darn good. Well done, Russ!
Long days at school over the past three weeks - easily nine hours a day of going straight out and that does not include work at home. We are both sleeping well enough though.
We found out our dear friend Zane died on Monday night. So thankful that we could spend time with him in April but we are still feeling sad. He is at peace now in glory. Another friend lost her father also on Monday, and my heart goes out to her.
Hard to reach out to people when our internet is down. Today is the first decent signal after six days.
We are now members of the Canadians in Kuwait, which is a great social group open to all. They have monthly happy hours and it was a fun outing in the middle of the week. Switched up the routine a little.
Looking forward to a fairly low-key weekend ahead.
