Date Posted: 09:23:34 01/10/14 Fri Ah, back to Germany. Thanks Hafer for keeping things going on here. It is good to be home after 3 weeks of being away, even if home is overrun with grumpy Germans. Everyone is doing well back in the States. We spent about 10 days with each set of families and kept pretty busy. I got everything I wanted from Santa! Several xbox games, an external hard drive, a hard drive enclosure, a ski mask and gloves, the first season of the Simpsons in German, and an electric shaver I'm starting to really like. I plan to use my new computer accessories to sway out my harddrive on my laptop with a new SSD. Here's hoping I don't screw everything up! We got back last Friday. Lena was a peach on the plane, but we didn't let us sleep any. My plan to combat jetlag is usually to sleep as much as possible on the plane back to Europe. Since this didn't happen, I was pretty much destroyed. Whats more is that I had a full day in the Austrian Alps on Saturday. I got up at 4:30a, largely due to not being able to sleep until 5:30, to catch a bus to get down to the slopes. Skiing was great but man was I tired after lunch. Skiing was done by 4:30p and we were forced to drink at the bar until 8:30 before the bus would take us home. It was like being trapped in a less fiery hell. I wanted to sleep so badly. Luckily the beer and many shots of jager helped keep me going. Luckily II, the bus made two bathroom stops on the way home because I slept through the first one and really really had to go by the second one. I finally got back on to the Munich clock a day ago. Lena is doing good. She is over 6 months and full of tricks. It's really a fun age. She's sturdy enough now to throw around but light enough that I don't kill myself. She's not crawling yet, thank goodness, but she likes to spin on her tummy. She is dominating mushy solids and working on her first teeth yet. Her sleep habits are completely nonexistent from the 3 weeks in the States. I guess we will be starting sleep training over, starting tonight. Sigh. As Hafer pointed out, craft beers are making a surge here in Germany. I credit myself 100%. There is a new craft beer place 4 blocks from my apartment. It expensive when you compare it to the other much cheaper German beers, but the flavor change is worth the deeper dip into the pockets on occasion. Joe, are you a shareholder yet or when does that go into effect? If your shareholderness has come to fruition, sorry I missed it and congrats!! I am looking forward to my Philly visit in May. 2014 is all about working and setting myself for resume-ing in 2015. Kate got a crazy idea that it would be fun to live in the Research Triangle area in North Carolina when we head back to the states. She thinks it would be a good compromise between families and she read the quality of life is really good for families. I almost had to slap her for such nonsense. I've always said that if we were going to move to the middle of nowhere, it would be in canoodling distance of Jono. Besides, the deal we made when moving to Germany was that I got to pick the next location, and that will certainly not be any in of the following states: Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, South Carolina, North Carolina, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, or Maine. Also, congrats to Poyser on kid #2. Hafer, how's your mom doing? Did she have an assessment lately? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
