A LITTLE NOTE ON LAUNDRY

Hot water makes red clothes bleed. I found that one out yesterday as I proceeded to wash my formerly white shirt with a pair of red boxer shorts. No sweat, I like pink. I keep flooding the bathroom and have no idea why. There is a drain on the floor of the bathroom, but it works excruciatingly slow. Why put a drain on the floor when something as wonderful as the shower curtain exists. Americans were smart the day they hung up the shower curtain. They don't exist here. But I have been told that some volunteers have found them in Romania. Though a shower curtain would take all the joy out of having my own private lake.
So I am starting to stress about teaching. the procrastinators gene has taken over and the sheer immensity of lesson plans that i must write has stopped me from writing them. I promised myself that tonight I would sit down and hash out a rough plan for the first semester. O sa vedem ( "We shall see")

Mom, you would be proud of me though, I have been cooking like a gourmet. I have discovered that cooking is a great stress reliever. I just cook and cook and cook when i have a million other things to do. I made soup from scratch and these great rice dishes. I know that's nothing too complicated, oh but I did make some biscuits. tonight I think I am going to make rice pudding.. ( you see a rice pattern, it's cheap and filling) which is my favorite.
Shoot I am just about to run out of time...I love you all.
