well, its friday afternoon and I am finally getting a chance to catch up on whats been going on. First of all, as you can see, there was only so much I could stand with the twin bed thingy. I rearranged my room and now I have a double bed. So my feet don't hang over the edge anymore. wondering why it took me a week to do it, guess maybe I thought I would be sent to the gulag. Things have slowed down to the point of feeling like I am in the army. Up at 7, breakfast at 8. they actually made us omelets a few mornings. They go well with hen fried in the dough, and cutlets from a beef. work til 1, then lunch. work til 7, then dinner. Recreation time after that. then wake up and do it again. One thing that is very different, it gets dark here sometime around 11 pm. by end of june, I could mow the lawn up until midnight. If I had a lawn of course. and then the sun is up by 5 am. Weird. And it gets me in trouble too. Couple of us decided to play cards once it got dark. sheesh. a couple hours of cards, and it was 3:00 am. didn't quite wake up in time for the morning meetings. Got another hand slap. Think I need to get to bed earlier. but hey, one oversleep in a room with no alarm clock??...I think thats a pretty good rate. Missing you all more and more every day. More to come, but the internyet doesn't work so good out here. Almost as slow as grammys!!
